For Esther’s “Can You Tell a Story in. . .” Her prompts are:

  • CAPTAIN
  • LEAPFROG
  • BAKERY
  • PRESCRIPTION
  • WIDOW
  • SHAMPOO
  • ANAGRAM

The captain leapfrogged over rain puddles as he checked “bakery” off his shopping list and headed for the pharmacy. He had the widow next door’s prescription to pick up, as well as his own favorite shampoo, as well as the daily paper with the anagram puzzle in it. If only he’d thought to bring his umbrella, he thought, as he ducked into the store, shaking water from his full pants cuffs.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
