Hmmm ok, at first I wasn't sure what was going on...lol. This might be kind of fun, might have to join in. I lost track of a lot of friends from Flashbacks also. You should join us with Wednesday Hodgepodge, some of them play that one. Just found that corgi when doing the a to z challenge. Hope life has been treating you good! And yes the sore shoulder is from the pacemaker replacement actually it is sorer from the bandage and tape that the surgery itself. go figure... lol Really good to hear from you. take care

I noticed the little girl's tummy, too--she'll have to wear a corset later...poor thing.
ReplyDeleteI liked the dark humor of your second story. I enjoyed them both.
nice to visit here, mr. jim, u write so well..
ReplyDeletePoor, poor kitty!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that the little girls tummy wasn't what it looked like, but just made to look larger by the style of her garment, but the kitty. Please don't go there. We love our kitties.
ReplyDeleteI like your poetry blog. :-)
Rose's daughter will probably have eating issues in adulthood. As for Tilly Bell, she'll become a psychopath! :D Enjoyed them both, Jim, but number two is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the time with your grandchildren.
