His tiny knotted heart

Shawshank, August 8, 2020August 8, 2020

Well welcome to Saturday. We made it. It's supposed to be a nice sunny and somewhat hot day here in TinyTown. I don't know what's going on today. I'm either going to be helping make some jam, or going into town. It hasn't been decided yet. Right now, it doesn't matter, as I'm drinking coffee. Shady…

Twelve men broke loose in ’73

Shawshank, August 5, 2020August 8, 2020

Locked in the truck of a car

Shawshank, July 31, 2020July 31, 2020

What’s there to do in a small town?   Nothing. Nothing at all.    If, by chance, I want to go to a book store. The second hand store is open Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. A real book store? That’s about 2 hours away. The library? Not open yet. They hope to partially open August 4th.…
