Six Sentence Story: Reservation

Linking up again with Six Sentence Stories.  This week's prompt: Reservation.


 She searched through the file cabinets of her brain, mentally pulling out memory after memory, then discarding them in a heap, promising to restore them to their proper place later.  

 I've never had a humorous mix-up with a reservation?  How can that be? I guess I won't participate in this week's Six Sentence Story link up.  

 Then, suddenly, as she embraced her hesitancy, the answer hit her like a heavy thesaurus.  She opened up her laptop and started to type.

      Thanks, Ivy. I should make it to this week's party, too--I just have to narrow down which experience to write about. Wind is a constant here in the desert.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos.

I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
