Little Piano Before the summer sun got too hot, Dillon took Evie to the other barn. The one he’d gotten hurt in playin’ as a child. Evie gasped, “this is the barn.” He blushed, “yelp.” She skipped through the hay. “We had just watch some of theContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

The Ledbetter’s Rebecca’s first reaction was no. But Simon was all smiles and excepted the offer for both of them. Which got him a dirty sideways glance. “I’ll holler at you when it’s ready.” Dillon offered. Once alone in the barn she scolded, “what is wrong with you?” Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”
Ah, what?
Sunshine Valley
Choices Dillon lay in his bed listening to the fan run. Had he made the right choice? Givin’ Evie the letters? Suddenly he felt exposed. Worse than being naked at a wedding. Everyone in fine tailored suits while he was trying to hide behind a champagne flute. Would she hate him forever? TryContinue reading “Sunshine Valley “

Trinkets
Been putting little trinkets in a jar. Things I think I need in my life. Not necessarily my hearts desires? Goals, longings, trinkets in a jar. Mementos, little trinkets in the jar. Trinkets, that’s all they are. Trinkets of things that will never be. Trinkets for a hearts desire? Just trinkets. Lost trinkets. Lost desire?Continue reading “Trinkets”
