Three weeks after her eighteenth birthday, Emma was looking for a part time job that she could do on the weekend, or evenings after she finished high school for the day. She wanted to go to university when she graduated, but her family didn't have a lot of money so she wanted to try and save up and pay for at least some of it herself. Flipping through the cl...
You really should read "Lady of the Lamp" first before reading this since this story picks up right after that one ends. However, I haven't written it yet. Until I do, it is enough to know that after the events depicted in "Throwin' Pennies in the Bay," Judy falls in love with Jon, and they get married. They have two beautiful girls and are madly in love. Th...
This continues Memories. For the new readers it would be better to start at Chapter 1 to have a better feel for this chapter. Thanks for all the encouragement, comments and support from you that took the extra few minutes to drop me a line. It begins: After ordering the pizza, we hoped in the shower. The shower was not big enough to hold all three of us. T...
The house was quiet FINALLY when we decided to take a swim in the pool and perhaps lay out in the sun. It was gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky, the blue of it intense. Most people would have thought it odd to have a pool on the beach but we both thought it a cool indulgence and no messy sand to deal with. Besides the water of the ocean was just too cold this...
I grabbed my luggage and tossed it on the bed, unzipping it quickly to get into a bikini and hit the pool. My parents dragged me to their "peaceful" vacation yet left me alone in the hotel. Luckily for me, I got my own room away from my annoying little brother. Now that I'm 18 I don't have to do activities with my parents. These vacations that my mother lov...
Several days later Joanne came over to begin the interior decoration. I was intrigued with the lovely tall blonde. She was very smart and knowledgeable and I liked her, and her ideas. Her estimate was very satisfactory and we began the redecoration immediately. She was over almost every day to make sure that the workmen did the job to her specifications. She...
You should read 'Tomorrow is Promised Pt. 03' and 'Promises Made and Promises Kept Pt. 01' first before reading this story. This story picks up right after 'Tomorrow is Promised Pt. 03.' Note: PM&PK needs to be told from both Points of View (PoV). In order to do that, I am alternating between Virginia and Judy in each part of PM&PK. Because of this,...
There was a pool outside our hotel room on the roof, but because I like to swim so much and so long underwater, Blue and I went down to the larger hotel pool. Gee, I didn't know a bathing suit was required...Blue didn't have me created with the knowledge of such things. We grabbed a few chairs and dropped our stuff. Blue removed her robe and was wearing t...
She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, sometimes turning this way, sometimes that. She smoothed her blouse down over her stomach, feeling only flat and hard-won muscle. Her breasts, finally healed from the surgery, defied gravity in a way that they hadn't since she was eighteen. A long time ago. They were still tender, unfamiliar. They made the...
I'll never leave you alone, I'll never leave just a memory. I'll never leave you alone in the garden Where nothing grows. – Harry Nilsson Amelia Thorn, 'Amy' to pretty much everyone except her daughter, looks across the Corian vanity top in the master bathroom, to the mirror fixed to the papered wall. The wall is patterned with small and large seashells,...
