Using her left hand, which was slightly less shaky than the right, she carefully guided a razor-sharp box cutter across the top of a plain birthday package she got in the mail from her older sister.
After she discovered the faded beige moccasins were two sizes too small, they were unceremoniously tossed aside and attention was refocused on the stunning bouquet she received from a secret admirer.

I’m mad at her sister! Come on how can you be so far off with your own sisters shoe size? And they were faded at that? Dang, why bother if your not gonna bother! Thanks for pulling me into the story! And with only two sentences- awesome! Light and Love, Shona

Return for the correct size? I would donate them to a charity. Was this a vintage present I wonder? Flowers are always appreciated, and the photo has beautiful ones.

Thanks for the like on that long New York Times article on the death of George Bell. I doubted that many would take the time necessary to read it, but I couldn’t resist this subculture of death of which I knew nothing! And you, who write in two sentences whole stories. . . LOL. . . I love it and just had to tell you ! Happy Tuesday !

I wonder what her sentimental sister wrote on the note in the toe of the right moccasin. Perhaps it was directions to find her actual gift in toe of the left moccasin. You’re sentences made me think!

However, perhaps her older sister is suffering from dementia. If that’s true, I’m delighted she received . Give it a rest Meredith.
