    In the several seconds it takes for me to notice the scraping noise, I find myself once again mesmerized by my new pug, Beatrice. She’s trying to squeeze her little sausage body out from beneath the coffee table while I am considering that perhaps three meals a day is excessive for a puppy. What can I say? I just want to make the little princess happy. She stops wriggling again and tilts her head in the direction of the kitchen, growling. This is when I hear it; metal grinding against wood, as though someone is whittling away the frame of my kitchen window. Damn the old buildings in this city.

    There comes a time in all our lives when we have to say goodbye to someone or something that we like. This happened to me a few years ago when one wintry morning my old car wouldn't start. Again. This was in the days when cars still had chokes, I'm not sure what they have now but I don't think that they have chokes.

    Margaret climbed the weathered rungs of the nailed-on ladder, which led up the side of the old barn to the loft above the calf-feeding pen. It was 1947 and she was ten years of age—nearly two years older than her brother—and it wasn’t fair that Joey got to do important jobs on the farm, along with Dad, while she had to help Mom with the boring indoor chores.
