LEFT ALONE by Granny Annie
NATO was not being effective. I watched the destruction on television and swore loudly. My concerns were totally inadequate. While I was intrigued by the dilemma, there was nothing I could do about this tangled mess in Ukraine. President Zelenskyy was showing tremendous bravery. Our President Biden was totally lost. We needed for the pious Putin to withdraw his military. We must see that the end to this world crisis was promised and a Russian withdrawal inked. Exactly what ladder is Russia climbing to achieve these added acres. When is enough, enough? They are trying to leave Ukraine a jagged, corroded mess while the brave Ukrainians are fighting back with all their might.

BEST KEPT SECRET by Granny Annie
Matilda cried and wanted to flee their home. Her father knocked softly on her bedroom door. “Go away” she demanded. He responded, “Let me in unless you want me to smash the door.”
Matilda tip-toed toward the door and reluctantly allowed her father entrance. He was carrying the most beautiful gown she had ever seen. She was totally enchanted by the beauty of the dress and by the gorgeous heart-shaped orchid corsage bouquet he brought in. “You are going to the lavish ball tonight and I am your date.” Her father was very handsome in his tuxedo and Matilda began scurrying around to get ready. She was filled with excitement. Her date had backed out but she would be able to share in the party with champagne, caviar and candlelight anyway.
It was the first time the village paid attention to Matilda. They never realized she was the Princess and her father was their King. It has been a wall guarded secret until now. The date who had jilted her stood trembling as Matilda and her father entered the ballroom.

BELIEVE THE MIRROR by Granny Annie
The man was only SEMI-STABLE but I MARRIED him anyway. I believed he was a real SWEETHEART. Very little time passed before he began to ridicule my weight gain. I tried a fad DIET of SUCCOTASH and/or SQUASH. The mirror began to tell me I was looking good but he DENIED it. He did not believe I had found a SOLUTION.
SINGULARLY I ran off to a secret URBAN area to find SOLACE . I have learned LATELY that living alone is actually very nice.
So Punny...

HOW DOES COURTSHIP LAST by Granny Annie
It seems like only YESTERDAY
that I waited at the airport terminal for him to exit
the plane. We had both been filled with LAUGHTER as we
embraced. Together we collected his luggage. He opened his suitcase
and pulled out a crinkled brown bag that was somewhat damp. "This
is for you" he said and I reluctantly took this strange GIFT,
opening it to discover a small LOVELY bouquet of roses.
The FLOWERS were carefully packed and looking as
fresh as the moment he cut them for me in California.
Our
courtship included lots of GENEROUS presents. He
showered me with poetry books by Robert Browning and Elizabeth
Barrett Browning and other favorites. He would SURPRISE me
with several pieces of precious jewelry. The first FEBRUARY
on Valentine's Day after we met, he sent me a huge bouquet of roses
to my work. It was a thrill to display them on my desk for people to
admire and inquire...and envy:) He SPRINKLED me with
gifts just the way women always hope a man will do. I would insist
that he should stop being so generous, but he was STUBBORN
and I was glad.
While he was giving me those gifts and entertaining me with laughter and excitement, he was preparing a lifetime of gifts by listening. After our MARRIAGE the glittery gifts faded away to be replaced with a new type of gift. My HUSBAND heard and remembered my wishes and made my every dream come true.
(This is a true story and I will always miss him.)
