Arvilla Fee
Midnight Maze
Did I lock the door? When Susan said nice slacks—did she mean pretty, shapely, high-class slacks? Should I fix baked ziti or chicken fettuccine for Friday dinner? When was the last time I shaved my legs? They feel a little prickly. Can I wear white after Memorial Day? When is Memorial Day? May something. I should probably plant flowers soon. And put out hummingbird feeders. What flowers do hummingbirds like? How small is a baby hummingbird? My friend, Jenny is having a baby. I should make some booties. Do people still make booties? Wait—did Susan think my booty looked too big in my slacks?
