Your DAILY MESSAGE from Angels
MAKE FRIENDS with THE WIND!
We love you
We can be buddies, Angels!!!
Ah yes, Charli Mills challenged us with writing about FREE PIE this week for her 99-word flash fiction prompt. And it took me back to 1990 when I met a fabulous woman who became my dear friend. So, here is the 99-word version of what happened that day… Join in the fun at The Carrot Ranch anytime!
Everyone told me to be sure and meet Aunt Bett, a local treasure who should be showcased in a television program. A perfect suggestion, since I ran the local television studio.
That first afternoon I spent with her was magic. She entertained me with wit, and wisdom and banged out ragtime on her piano. Impressive for a 90year old.
All at once, she realized she didn’t have time to cook dinner and walk her dog. So, I offered to cook the meal.
She returned to find Shepard’s Pie waiting in her oven. Reaching for her wallet…
Seriously, Aunt Bett?

This afternoon, she called
Shared a situation
Demands reparation
Her car damaged
Because she chose to park
Underneath the tree branch
Not in front of the ranch
Someone must pay
It’s in the neighbor’s yard
Hanging over the fence
Causing emotions, tense
Friends now at odds
There’s no reason to fight
Of course, no one’s to blame
Foliage hangs in shame
Grab the clippers
