Grandma’s Earrings
By Sharon Romine
They weren’t really. She never even wore them, but only held them in trust until I turned sixteen, at which time she was to give them to me. They were given to me by Mrs. Stumps, an elderly lady, that the neighborhood took turns caring for.

"Geezers" (slang for an old man)
"Geezers" (slang for an old man) are easy to spot:
At sporting events, during the playing of
the National Anthem, Old Geezers hold
their caps over their hearts and sing without
embarrassment. They know the words and
believe in them. Old Geezers remember
World War I, the Depression, World
War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy
and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age,
the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age
and the Moon Landing, not to mention Vietnam.

Breakfast at Grandma’s
By: Sharon L. Romine
I recall breakfast at Grandma’s. There I'd be all snuggled and warm under Grandma’s electric blanket, and Grandpa, passing by the end of my bed on the way to the kitchen, would reach out and grab my big toe. After I’d raised a fuss, he'd grumble about kids sleeping so late. It was usually all of 5:30 or 6:00. From the kitchen, I'd hear Grandma fussing, “Henry, leave that young’un alone, she needs her sleep.”
