This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.
Or the three people I guilted into reading this blog, whatever.

Hi Russell,Grandma's Rock is a pastoral in an of itself. I enjoyed the tone and reverence for nature and, of course, for Grandma herself. A lovely piece.Aloha,Doug

hi Russell,Great piece here – I loved how you so closely associated Grandma with the rock, using adjectives that could describe either and finishing with a scene of Grandma long before she was a Grandma. Here's mine:http://elmowrites.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/friday-fiction-13/

I really loved this piece. We all have lifemarks on our body from living. And that this character can pinpoint the location of where his/her grandmother received one of hers is poignant. Very well done!The link to my drabble is here: http://quillshiv.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/reading-tree-leaves/

Hi Russell,This if a very nice memory piece and as a resident of the Ozarks, I loved the Ozarky feel of it. Great descriptive writing with a touching sense of nostalgia.Here's mine: bridgesareforburning.wordpress.com/

Aw, that was charming. I thought you were going to end it differently and I really enjoyed the story ending with the reality of why the rock was Grandma's.Good show,Lindaura

I loved this, Russell! Our grandparents worked so much harder than we do–with their hands. I could just see Grandma washing out those dirty diapers! Interesting that you and I both saw the stone slab as a sort of couch. Like minds…Here's mine: http://www.banterwithbeth.blogspot.com

Such a delightful piece. I loved the memoir tone of it. I also liked the comment from bridgesareforburning–it has an "Ozark-y feel." Mine: http://vsta.pr/zMx9VT.
