Sitting In a Laundromat

sitting in a laundromat watching people steal from the dryers wondering why people just up and leave their stuff, i shake my head and get back to the new zane novel it is then at the finish of chapter ten, i hear a scream that will add to all that haunt me wherever your stuff is, doggonit, you stay with it my light load is now done i place the bookmark of heaven at the beginning of chapter eleven i fold the light load up quickly and immediately exit i go straight to Lowe's and get that stackable that is on sale no more laundromat for me dumb ish happens up in there no matter which one that you go to at least it does when i go yes, God was tryin' to tell me somethin', or perhaps, i was tellin' myself somethin' without knowin' home, from now on, will be the ONLY laundromat where i will be at

Sad that no place is safe anymore. I know a person here said to us in Sunday School class if any of you ladies need to go to the laundromat do not go by yourselves because I was over there for my wife the other day and it is not a safe place for men let alone women. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara
