Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 04, 2014

Well, there’s always Biscuit! ;)

Someone’s getting lonely. ;)

Someone’s thinking about married couples.

Well, it could be you and Phil, if you’re open to it.

The dog is wanting his affection now.

I don’t think she looks lonely at all, more like contentment.

And “The Point” is?

I see now.

“just me and my shadow…oh wait, that’s my daughter.” (said I, not to long ago)

Hey at least she’s dating. More than some can say….

I think that is the reason why Val is still alone – she enjoys companionship of a boyfriend but does not want to be in a committed relationship where she has to make sacrifices and compromises. She enjoys the advantages of single-hood with the benefits of a boyfriend. She gets to raise her girls her way without interference of a step dad. She gets to do things her way without compromising with a husband. She gets to manage her own money without sharing it with a husband. She runs her own home without any interference by a husband. She goes out and have fun with a boyfriend when the mood strikes. She gets to sleep with him and has him leave before her girls get up. She was married before and remembers how it was and now chooses to stay alone. A boyfriend is enough.

“make him an offer he can’t refuse”Does it involve a dead horse?

And your dog!
