The Big Tree (part two)

I was driving my father to visit an old military friend a few cities away. On our way there he decided he wanted to visit some family that lived somewhere in between, so I made a little detour to accommodate him.      It was no big deal. I know how to get there, and I know the area.      "This does not look familiar," my Dad says.      I continue to drive down the street I'm on. I say nothing. Between you and me, I'm on the right street.      Out of the corner of my eye I see him looking out up and down the street. Side to side. His head must be on a swivel.        "I don't think you're on the right street," he tells me, his eyes bugging out. "I don't recognize the area."           One funny thing about my Dad I've noticed the few times we've traveled together,...

Funny Shades of Grey--chapter nine

I know exactly what I'm going to do.   I'm going to make Christian breakfast. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     When he wakes up hours later, he walks in on me dancing playfully in the kitchen.   "...
