Children grow up. The Salesman came in last night with folders and keys and stopped in the kitchen as I asked if his appointment went well. I listened to his colorful retelling of a day on the road and thought how some of it could be fodder for a country song, as every story is so much better when he unravels it.

Like a magnet I drew the bouquet out of the water that I’m ... Read More about One Mother-of-The-Bride Dress in Soft Peach
