It wasn’t just another starry night.
This one was special.
They heard it on the wind
as it blew in from the west,
gently lifting the edges of their overcoats.
Something magic was about to happen.

When I was a little girl my family
would spend every summer by the sea.
It took forever to drive there,
or at least it felt like it did
to someone as impatient as I.
I drove my parents crazy with my restless anticipation.
And then suddenly we’d come around that old familiar bend
and there it was - the sea, the sea, the sea!
Every summer by the sea

Burly Crumb was a loner. Mostly he stayed indoors watching minutes tick by
on his old kitchen clock. But one day, one fine spring day, he stepped outside just to see what it was like
out there in the great outdoors.
He was so impressed he decided to stay there.

It takes courage.
You can’t dally
or stand your ground
or stick to your principles
just because that’s what you’ve
always done.
Deep down you know
it’s time for a change.
So go on.
Take that leap of faith.

Although there was a faint promise of spring in the air
we still feared that this year it wouldn’t come.Yet it did!
Now we are feeling so hopeful, we are starting to believe
that summer will come as well.
We are still waiting.

Cruisin' down main street

Smokin' and swearin'

were a jumbled sticky mess
and nothing less

There was
no saying no to Sherman.
Anything from a mild warning
to a flat out lockdown
would do nothing but stoke
his rebellious penchant
for showing off.

Mabel was unsure about herself.
Somebody once told her that
she was not a good person
and she often feared that it might be true.
But today she remembered,
almost as an afterthought,
one good deed that she had done.
And a few minutes later,
she remembered a couple more.

And then there’s you.

Filled with nothing
