Casadora Island flowed onto the pages. After I read the first draft, I remember thinking I'd take that flight and leave it all behind in a heartbeat. I wondered if anybody else would. Here's one who did, and it makes the effort worthwhile. #Amazon #CasadoraIsland

In what seemed like an eternity, the couple fought each other daily. But at night, they would kiss and make up. None ever knew their secret; all they knew was that in public, they were happy #together. After 50 years, the couple's smiles changed from plastic to true love. #vss360.

My grandson and I observed a Beaver in the wild. He said, "Gramps, did you know a beaver can hold its breath for 15 minutes?" ."For what purpose?" I asked. "To breed, I think.".Shocked, I asked, "What did you say?".He breathed in deeply and exhaled. "You know, breathe." #vss365.

In that great getting-up morning when the saints come marching in, I hope to be in that number. Just imagine a wayfaring stranger could inherit the crown of eternal life and live in a city where the roses never fade. Those old gospel #spirituals will always be solid gold. #vss365.

The flight sucked. When we went to deplane, the stairs pointed to the sky. An older guy in front of me wouldn't step out. He mumbled, "Look, the stairs are solid #onyx. It's the Stairway to Heaven." A guy behind me said, Will you go on? I've got a connecting flight to LA. #vss365.

Creek-side on a moonlit night, the water ripples over the gravel shore, spreading a tranquil peace. It’s a time to reflect on the moment and to embrace life. The rat race disappears in this #mellow setting, so enjoy. The race will resume at sunrise when you break camp. #vss365.

His smile didn't give it away. It was #innocence in its purest form. My slice of Carrot Cake was gone. I asked my six-year-old son, "Did you eat my cake?"."No, Dad, it was the dog. I didn't know that dogs liked carrots. That's weird, don't you think?" #vss365.

I went to the bodega for coffee and a morning paper. Glancing at the paper, I saw we were under a flash flood warning for today. The clerk laughed. "Don't worry, my #Savant was here this morning, he let me know those weather guys' predictions are 90% true 10% of the time. #vss365.
