Do you trust your instincts? I wrote for the prompt maybe a year ago. Instincts I went back and checked on it. Yes, my opinion is still the same. I really do not want to predict anything. I have heard people talk, how they had predicted something bad would come to a person or family.…

It has been a while since I wrote for Ragtag Community’s prompt. But today morning, when I saw this prompt GLOVE, it was a no brainer. My son’s social group did a bouquet for fall/thanksgiving. As soon it was finished I was tempted to make one more. Have to do it at home. It is…
