Good Wednesday morning, my peeps! What does that mean? Friday Fictioneers! Luckily for me, I was asked to switch shifts (from 11 to noon) so I had an extra hour this morning so I could write this now rather than later, when I could have forgotten what I wanted to write. Coz that happens. Often.
Thank you always to the lovely Rochelle for hosting this here weekly party and this week, a thank you to our very own Dawn M. Miller‘s grandson, Nathan Sowers, for this beauty of a picture.

The House That I Built
“Why do you always bug us to keep the house up?”
“You listen to me very carefully. It took me everything to get where I am. I worked hard. But I became a drug addict and a pusher. I had a house at age 23. Amazing, eh? Well, I almost died from those drugs and lost everything. I owed lots of money and could have gone bankrupt but instead I worked my ass off, ate macaroni and bologna for years as I paid back every single dime I owed.
“So yeah. It’s really important to me to keep my house up.”
That’s the kid told! And inspired by their parent’s tough love, I should think.

Indeed! Sometimes they need to be told that things are not just there…
