"Honey, let me tell you before I forget, Carol is coming over for thanksgiving dinner." My wife, Lisa, informed me. "Is her husband coming with her?" I asked. "It will be only her and the others I have invited." She said. I knew Carol was a good friend of my wife. We have met in town and other places and mostly said hello when we met. I have seen her in t...
PART ONE- Winter Evenings I logged on and didn’t see him right away so I checked my e-mail and there was a message from him that read: My Love~ I may be a bit late today, I had something to do. But never fear, you will hear from me some time tonight. Love Always, Dean We had met over the internet, he had proposed over the internet and we kept communica...
After a long winding journey of driving you car through the mountains. You can finally see the Golden Mountian Hotel from the distance. The gold painted roof glimmers as the sunshine caresses the landscape. The ocean water shimmers next to it as the snow capped mountains reflect the sunlight like beacons. It has been a frustrating go of it at work. The seemi...
The woman at the far end of the bar caught Roxy's eye. Roxy had been tending bar in this hotel for a long time, and she knew what this woman's attire and actions meant. She first noticed the dress the woman was wearing: not just any dress, but the kind of sexy dress that a woman wears when she wants attention from a stranger. The kind that a single woman wea...
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2005. Marie wasn't over keen when I told her I'd booked a week's holiday to include lots of golf tuition from a P.G.A. Professional. Fortunately the hotel and golf course complex looks suburb with plenty of activities for her to get involved with. Pity I can't get my wife interested in golf though, but most sport leaves her cold. Stil...
**If this story sounds familiar I had posted it under my former screen name of chigirl74. If you haven't read it already I hope you enjoy it. Serendipity, one of my favorite words and it basically means a fortunate accident. My chance meeting with Mark in Siesta Key was just that. I had just been blown off by my now ex boyfriend for the last time. He left...

After leaving the lake, we decide to stay overnight at a hotel in the area. We had seen a fire tower on the Shawangunk Mountains when we had gotten off the NY Thruway at New Paltz, earlier that day. The fire tower was part of the hotel's grounds. "My mom had ridden on a horse and wagon in the 30s to get there." I told Zoe. "The hotel looks like a Victor...
It was supposedly a "boutique hotel" housed in a 19th-century mansion, but the place just looked old. That's one of the downsides of working for a small business - travel is done on the cheap. After checking in, I climbed the old wooden stairs to my room on the first floor. As I unlocked the door of room 5, the door of the next room opened a fraction. A midd...
