Writers Block…
I have not been able to publish any new writings for several weeks now. My apologies. Yes, “writers block” really does happen, and I have been experiencing this impact recently while trying to write the vignettes about my vacation during the summer of 2024.

Why I Write…
When I started my personal story blog website, my writing was a therapeutic exercise to reconcile with everything going on in my world at that time.

Lunch At The Bunny’s Place…
Well, my birthday party this year was awesome. And after the party I now have more new friends and a new best friend. I think that this is the time in my life when I discovered what a best friend is and what an inseparable bond feels like. In life, you only get so many…

The Dark…
Have you ever been so frightened that the experience of that trauma would change how your daily routine would be impacted? And did this experience happen when you were just a kid in your age of innocence? Or did it happen when you were a young teen? Well, my bedtime routine was dramatically changed when…

Scary Movie…
There was a movie theater on the main street going through the heart of Mount Airy, North Carolina in the early 1960’s that played matinee movies on Saturdays for the town’s kids. The movie variety from what I had heard was ok. I had not been to the theater and only heard stories from friends…

Cobbler…
Behind our new house on the street that ended in a circle was a thick stand of trees. On the other side of the trees were train tracks that ran through our side of town and trains ran on these tracks almost daily. One train ran to the cement plant up the hill and on…
