dwgmSummer weather, we're having, and the pool not heated. Perhaps that situation will have to be addressed.
Friday was Kimi's 20th Birthday. Seems like just yesterday I was holding the cute little fuzzy-headed bundle. She's still cute, of course.
Attended Brenda's wedding shower on Sunday with Mom and Kimi. The latter was chosen by our table to be adorned with copious amounts of toilet paper in the form of a wedding gown for the third of the obligatory games. She made a beautiful bride. Brenda was beautiful too, as was the whole shower: decorations, gifts, food. A good time was had by all.
Written for this week's drabble challenge over at the MSN group -- 'anything to do with that bloody island on which Jack was marooned...twice'. 100 words, without the title.
Considering Miss Swann
Actually, if one must be marooned, there were worse companions one could have. Most females’d be setting up a howl at the thought of spending days--maybe weeks--possibly dying--on a hot, waterless pile of sand with no one but Rum and ol’ Jack for company.
Unusual girl, Elizabeth. Miss Swann. He grinned. Insisting on the proprieties, even in their present situation! And her undaunted assertion that they must “do something” for bloody Will.
Yes. Beautiful. Courageous. Resolute. Even cheerful.
Quite like himself, in fact.
“Another bottle, Captain?”
“Thank you, Miss Swann. Don’t mind if I do.”
She smiled.
