When I saw Paula’s picture for this week, I knew what I wanted to write about — and it’s not fiction! A couple of weeks ago, in the mailed advertisements was the usual sheet of coupons for Burger King meals, sandwiches, bundles, breakfasts, etc. in their usual orange, brown, red inks. Looking them over I…

Thursday Inspiration 60 — Cheeky Beast!
Five minutes after opening the back slider, I heard a terrible caterwauling from the kitchen. It wasn’t Mlady and it wasn’t Dotty.
