The boys in school were like kids or brothers to her, definitely not boyfriend material. As beautiful as Chelsea was, she never had a boyfriend in high school a...

Hey, Folks. This one is a nice midwinter pot boiler. It's a little bit long and it gets crazy near the end. It's just the thing to keep you entertained during these snowy winter afternoons. SS06 * * * * * * I had just finished wheeling the stretcher from my last patient out of the examination room, when it happened. I walked into the control room between...
The afternoon was hot and humid, the air thick enough to cut with a knife, as Dan swung the last bale of hay from the pickup onto the stack for pulling up into the hayloft.
