Pussyfootin’ Around…Christmas, 2020

Posted on December 25, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi

We Gathered Together….To Eat

Posted on November 26, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi

My present Thanksgiving is very different from the one I celebrated as a child. My mother made so much food, even Shrek would have been popping Tumms. What comes to mind besides, we could have used a vomitorium is, we … Continue reading →

Best Story of the Week…November 12th…Hearing With a Limp

Posted on November 12, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi

A 10 year-old boy in my building, walks with a slight limp, something that occurred at birth. It’s barely noticeable, providing you’re not James that is, who alas, has to live with it. When I heard that they were making … Continue reading →

Say Nothing…Say It Often

Posted on September 15, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi

It’s so hard to shut-up…to refrain from comment, silence your tongue, hold that verbal fire. They should teach it as an alternate language, same as Spanish, or French. When the woman rubbernecking me at the market, her cart, scraping my … Continue reading →

Meat and Potato Men

Posted on August 2, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi

Old Levis…Old Friends

Posted on July 6, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi

My jeans should be willed to the Smithsonian, they’re that old and tattered…sewn, stitched, patched, the original denim humbly peeking through. If they could only talk, the tales they could tell. We’ve been through a lot together, well traveled, zipped … Continue reading →

Scalped…Cash Only

Posted on May 26, 2020 by Susannah Bianchi
