Not sure why, but they do seem to blend in my head quite easily.<br />I loved the adoring dog for the lonely old man, too and why not assume he'll also watch over her?<br /><br />♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-8137234678592742412012-05-31T02:23:47.263-04:002012-05-31T02:23:47.263-04:00What an awesome story, made even better by combini...What an awesome story, made even better by combining not 1, not 2, but 3 writing prompts.

You know-- as I read your story--which I really enjoyed--I thought back on my occasional alone time weekend--before the hubby and the kids. I have to say--while they worked for me then-- I would not be able to enjoy them now. I enjoy having my husband and my kids surrounding me--and I don't look forward to the day that I'm an empty nester. I don't mind "getting away" for the weekend with just the hubster--but I no longer enjoy time totally alone. When I had to train for my current job--in Michigan-- I was there for 4 days with no kids and no hubby and I was missing them something fierce--I could not enjoy myself. I guess it is the "people person" in me :) <br /><br />You did a great job telling the story and combining all the themes. <br /><br />Cheers, Jenn ♥Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-74847623805358838712012-05-22T23:54:48.318-04:002012-05-22T23:54:48.318-04:00Lovely story and congrats on combining not 2, but ...Lovely story and congrats on combining not 2, but 3, writing prompts!

I love my husband, but I also love alone time. Just about the only time I am completely alone is when I travel. Though I could get from my house to my sister's house in N. GA in one long drive, I choose to break it up with a motel room about half way. I only drive about 5-6 hours per day with a delightful solitary time for one night in between. That is my treat to myself about twice a year...Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-38935983248784649812012-05-22T18:35:51.087-04:002012-05-22T18:35:51.087-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-4267046807271650562012-05-22T18:34:42.492-04:002012-05-22T18:34:42.492-04:00I chose to end with her thinking of her future whe...I chose to end with her thinking of her future when she might fall in love and have children and totally selfish and alone time would no longer be possible for her. To that end taking this weekend to herself was a very good choice. Does that help?

I kept wanting to continue to the end, and I did. But the ending lost me, I cannot figure it out. I had questions at the very end feel I was left up in the air.
