Lab Partner

Talk about a recipe for disaster…the teacher pairs me with the cute girl in class, and suddenly I’m conducting a science experiment with the attention span of a goldfish. Forget balancing equations—I was just trying to remember how to breathe. Honestly, the real miracle wasn’t the passing grade…it’s that I didn’t accidentally set the lab on fire. 😍😅

Stop!

One night a black cat ran in front of our station wagon, so my dad hit the brakes. The truck behind us didn’t react in time and plowed into us. The car was totaled, we were shaken, but everyone walked away — even the cat. ❤️

Run

 My last cartoon reminded me of a family incident.

On a mountain trail we ran into what we thought was a cat. It was a skunk. We ran. FAST! 😅

Encounter

I often walk my neighborhood before the sun rises, which is apparently prime time to bump into my "pal"...a skunk. I’ve wandered as close as six feet of him before my brain catches up—luckily he’s never felt inspired to…"say hello" to me.🤢

Temp Swings

It's the time of year we get those wide temperature swings! Bundle up in the morning, and walk around in a short sleeve shirt by the afternoon! 😁☀️

Rock Paper Scissors

It was amazing how fixated we'd be over a simple game as a child. Once we figured out how the game was played, we'd play it for HOURS! 😅🪨📃✂️

Quiet Morning

When my mother had a long commute to work, she'd drop me off early at school...earlier than most of the teaching staff!

I would often settle myself by one of the school's doors and  enjoy the peace and quiet while watching the sun rise. 😊☀️
