Her voice is breathless answering my
call, 'Good morning!'
'Is everything alright? It took quite
a few rings...'
'Oh, yes. I was out starting the car.
It's too cold and snowy to run it
cold.'
I imagine her energy melting a path
right to her car. 'Well, glad I
caught you... where you headed?'
'I have a patient to care for, then
thought I'd walk awhile at the Rec
Center.'
I smile. 'You're a young 71! Happy
Birthday, mom...'

Welcome
In every day a moment passes that
asks to be honored in memory.
Some, like spoiled children,
demand this honor. Both make us
who we are. My collection of
micro-fiction is inspired by such
moments. Eldiess' is a pen name.
Images are, to the best of my
knowledge, from the public domain
(or will be otherwise noted).
About Me
- Eldiess'
- I have been a keeper of time, off and on, for decades and recorded events for various publications (in between a 'co-career' with husband, raising a family, and nursing career). I enjoy healthy living, time with family and friends, and being awakened by songbirds. This is my first experimental blog.

Hello there! I see that you came by my blog today! Thank you for visiting me and wishing me well on my thesis! Anita
Oh how wonderful! Amen to your Mom!!! =:o)
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the kind compliments on our lil baby Wicky poo. He really is something else and lets just say, if you have not owned this breed before you are in for a real treat!
Wick really does need a lot of love and attention. If I start to do something and he feels it's still "his" time he will come up to me and continue to slap me with his paw until I give in and pick him up lol. It's hard not to baby him that's for sure.
I would love for you to keep me posted should you get a Brussels!
