a first crush 

A Fourth Grade Girl – 

A name to remember. Barbara. My friend also liked her. He rode my bike that I couldn’t ride, with me on it to her house about a mile away. We sat in the ditch calling her name.

A Work In Progress – 

A slow reduction in activity. Started morning bike ride at 71 and still doing it at 83. Time with grandchildren. Potted plants. Rocking chair. Neighborhood watch.

A Daily Use – 

A stereo receiver that my son left with me. Being hard of hearing I need a speaker, the next oldest that my daughter gave me, close to my right ear. Both are connected to my TV. Now I have an ear to hear.
