Picture Boards

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

My mom sadly passed away 6 years ago this month. There are a lot of details to take care of for a memorial service, least of all, the picture boards of mom’s life. We went through all the boxes of pictures at dad’s house, and of course, all the relatives added their favorite photos.

The day of the service the picture boards are all out in front for people to peruse until the service started and then afterward as she was cremated.

Choosing the pictures was really difficult as we tried to make sure everyone in the family was represented.

Will They All Show Up For The Game?

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

Roger was itching to get out to the basketball courts and play a game. That’s if all the guys show up. Somedays not everyone shows and they have to play short of players. The ones who come don’t want to miss time playing so they do the best they can with what they have.

It had poured all afternoon, but it was hot enough to start drying out the courts. They just had to wait a little bit longer. The sun was already poking out of the clouds.

Roger headed out to the field, stopping for Dan on the way.

Unemployment Lines

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

Judging by the long queue of people it was no doubt another company had closed, and those employees were standing in line in the rain waiting to get into the building so they could fill out their unemployment papers. The quicker you filled them out, the faster you started to get paid.

I learned from experience that you needed to be in line before 7:00 AM if you wanted to get into the office that day as they shut the doors in your face once a certain amount of people had arrived. The employees did not want to work overtime.

Love My Kitchen

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

Stella was watching her favorite show about buying and flipping houses. She dreamed about being able to flip houses. Maybe she could if she could somehow afford her first house and flip it, she could set up a business doing it full time.

She continued watching the show and saw them hanging kitchen implements down off a rack on the ceiling. What a unique way to find homes for things as well as decorating. Maybe she would use that if she ever got a chance to flip a house. Of course, she could use it here at her current home.

Mother Dearest

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

I kept a close look on my mother and her glasses. I needed her to put them down so I can grab them making her lose her ability to see.

She is sitting upstairs in her office in the attic. The steps are dangerous enough when you can see, but without her glasses, she will be off-balance for sure.

I had taken a look at her will, and it all goes to me and none to my brother and sister.  It is time for her to go.

She disappears out of sight, and there’s a sharp pain in my neck.

Research Without Google

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

“Robert, get your report written,” mom says.

“Aw, mom this is taking forever.”

“Robert, you can work faster than your father and I could. We had to go to the library and use the encyclopedias. See the books on the to shelf? We didn’t have Google. We had to look everything up in books, newspapers, and magazines.”

“Are you kidding me, mom? It would take forever to research something and write a paper on it.”

“Yes it did take us forever, but we had no choice. You kids are having a much easier time writing research papers than we did.”

Uphill Battle

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

John was pushing his aunt, Edith up the hill and could barely budge her. He saw his friends going to the park, and he called them over and asked them for help. At first, they balked because they were in a hurry, but John begged and pleaded that he wanted to go with them, but he was stuck getting his aunt up the hill. They were all going to the same place.

Finally, they agreed, and they all pushed the person in the line ahead of them. Slowly inch by inch, huffing and puffing, they got her up the hill.

Family Reunion

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

The family was having a reunion dinner at the restaurant. The adults were keeping an eye on the children. Or so they thought.

Suddenly Johnny’s mother realized that Johnny wasn’t in the restaurant that she could see. She started panicking. She grabbed her husband sobbing and told him she couldn’t find Johnny and that she only took her eye off of him for a couple of minutes.

Her husband was calm and walked into the restroom area. He didn’t tell Johnny’s mother that he had seen Johnny head over there. He took him out to his mother, who stopped sobbing.

Epic Storm

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

Jenny knew that they shouldn’t have set up the equipment the day before they were hosting the event. They’d set up gaily colored canopies and the barbecue grill along with the tables. They set out the coolers, ready to be filled with ice and cold drinks.

That night there was a storm of epic proportions. The storm whipped around the house, and Jenny could just imagine the damage the wind was doing to their equipment.

The morning was sunny, and when Jenny went outside, she found the canopies ripped to shreds, and the equipment and tables were all knocked over.

Facing Reggie, the Meanest Kid in Town!

By Teresa Smeigh 2019

Gerry knew the moment he threw the ball, it was going to hit a window at the worse house on the block. He turned to run, but Mrs. Stroud’s grandson, the meanest kid alive, grabbed his collar.

He broke loose and ran down the block to the deserted area at the end of the street. He searched for a way through the wall that was left standing and hunkered down. He could hear Reggie noisily searching for him.

“I can wait here all night long kid, til you have to come out.”

Gerry was sunk, he had to pee now.
