“BACK DOWN MEMORY LANE” by Robin Simon

Submitted to Contest #102

Wow I can not believe that time has slipped away from me. I will be 60 years old and if I could go back and change things in my life when I was growing up, things might have been different.

My parents did what they could do, we were poor and had to share beds with siblings. It wa...

My name is Lynn and I need a new look on life, I have been visiting the library every day this week trying to find a new look and a new beginning for the rest of my life.

Submitted to Contest #87

April Fools is not one of my favorite days. I came up with good deeds for the day instead of being around those that enjoyed seeing others scared out of their wits or finding ways to embarrass everyone you canInstead I thought about spending my time helping others and doing good on this day. Such a beautiful spring time and did not want to spend my time figuring out ways to out do everyone. I took off work to just focus on doing things going on in the neighborhood and around the community. But I was not going to get off that easy. It was Apr...
