Utter the Thought
The latest prompt from Sammi Cox. The word “utter” with a max of 92 words. Our family dinners had us standing on one side or the other while still fighting out who would wash the dishes to give Mom a break after her efforts, that one word that would lay dad to rest after turkey… Continue reading
