Six Sentence Story: Suspend

Every week, Ivy at Uncharted gives a one-word prompt and invites everyone to write a six-sentence story based on that word. While my contribution this week might stretch the rules a bit, I suppose it's OK when the prompt is suspend.

Only fun on the schedule today.
Grown kids are home, and their friends have come
To join with us for the holiday.
We talk, laugh, eat, and play
And suspend routine 'til after New Year's Day.

    very cool

This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
