Fifty-nine
Peggy, I am conducting a test of my fingers, but I know you are there. She has been away. We talk and text and facetime each day. It's not holding her, kissing her, feeling her warmth, skin, hair...sorry... A short learning getaway I search for words too, but I don't try to dig up archeological or look-at-my-mind artifacts. I do smile when I find them, sometimes use them. It's hard enough, sometimes, finding everyday (sorry, vernacular) ones to use. Yes, I too like to keep it simple.
