Friends

There was a time when all we had was time. Now, this was but a snippet of history, where three friends got together, in a busy world. Once a month, on a Sunday, we ditched our husbands, and children and took an hour to marvel at the clouds. ”That one looks like an elephant, onContinue reading “Friends”

Typing, Writing, and Ravenclaw

An old fashioned typewriter, and I remember learning to type on something very similar. It was a heavy, made out of metal, and I used to carry it up a flight of steep wooden stairs.
