Early this morning as I came back to bed Cheryl spoke to me. Listening, I quickly discovered that she was not speaking to me. She was participating in a spelling bee.

The current word was “manage” as were the next three words. The teacher or whoever was giving the words out eventually moved on to anger, agree and message.

A cough awakened her and she asked me, what’s next?

I told here today was laundry day and I would make blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

I like blueberry pancakes, she replied.

Carpe Diem.
