Vacation Time

-


 



          Vacation time, what is it really?  Is it not something for the upper-class or those who are rich 

only? When I was young, I was taught that it was a time to go visit family or go to church meetings.  

For some reason the church meetings have ceased to be for me.  I do, however still visit my one 

surviving parent once a year.

            Yet I see some families go here there and yon.  I know that for myself one day taking a vacation

will mean staying at home by myself.  To go to another country is possible for only a few, but not for 

me.  For me vacation time will soon come to an end.   For when my Papa passes away where will I go 

on vacation?

              Then again there is the magnificent places I go when reading or writing stories.  These 

vacations are created by the mind.  In the vacation to the mind, you might find yourself going miles or 

ages away without leaving your armchair.  You can also see a magnificent creature or two.  Oh the 

things and places you will see if you take a vacation in your mind!

               So when you are really bored let your mind take a vacation.  Take a vacation by reading or 

writing a story.  For I do both and have a library of 470 books.  As well as having composed close to 

one hundred stories not counting the ones that had to be deleted.

Paul D. Eccles

Self Pleasing

                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God, nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the  fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.                                     The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she  she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God, but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this  problem.      ...

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
