Gramma Tolley
had bins of toys.
Bins.
But the toy
that everyone wanted? Fought over?
A necklace made
of spools. The kind that used to hold thread.
30 years have passed.
Recently my daughter presented me with a precious gift. All for
myself.
I cried.
We’ve come full circle…
Today is Fifty Day!
And that means another challenge to tell a story using ONLY fifty words.
Thank you so much, Adela, for opening this new world to me . . .
This is an uber-fun, uber-challenging exercise.

I had a very similar necklace.

ReplyDeleteCute idea. I'm sure I must have had one because my mother was a seamstress.
ReplyDeleteIt's the simple things in life, isn't it.
