“Just one more time”
By Bob Perks
.
“Damp, musty and well-worn.” It certainly wouldn’t catch your attention in a travel brochure.
.
“No indoor plumbing. Hand pump for water located in back of the building.”
.
No, that wouldn’t make me want to stay there either.
.
“Out house conveniently located in front of or directly behind your rental.”
.

Memorial Day weekend!
Someone sent one of my stories to me without explanation. I read it and felt strongly that it needed to be shared again. This is from 2007 so some of you never saw it before. I write so many
things that when I read it, I didn’t remember it. So, it’s new for me, too.
.
Whatever your plans this weekend, be safe, I need you.
Love always and all ways,
Bob and Marianne

“Love and the joy of hurting”
By Bob Perks
“Do you like what you do?” she asked me.
“I write about happy things,” I said.
“Wait a minute. I’ve read your work. You made me cry sometimes,” she said.
“That makes me happy,” I replied.

“Well, that’s sick,” she said smiling.
“I don’t make people cry by hurting them. They often cry from the hurt they have already.

“It’s LOVE that make the world go ’round . . . !”
* * *
“Take time to love, and to be loved,
it’s a God-given privilege.
Take time to look around,
the day is too short to be selfish.
Take time to laugh,
it’s the music of the soul!”
