Wild Word Friday! HALL? Ummm, what’s wild about that? I’m not referring to HALL as in HALLway, but HALL as in the names of various German and Austrian places or towns such as HALLein, Schwaeblish HALL, and HALLstatt.

I was having a great, motivated, write-every-day week. My husband was away on a fishing trip, and I had six hours of daylight between care-giving times for my dad-in-law.

My maternal grandfather (Granddaddy) was a smoker of CIGARs. I’m quite sure they shortened his life. (He died of a heart attack at age 69….

We’re in the midst of horse racing season. We’ve watched those incredible animals compete in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness.
