Love & Cracker Jacks

Some lighthearted fiction for spring.



Love & Cracker Jacks

One evening, from my lanai, I watched spectacular fireworks crackle thunderously and shower the night sky with bursts of multi-colored twinkling lights. They reminded me of my childhood in Canada and how much I loved waving sparklers on the Victoria Day long weekend in May. When the light show was over, I was still feeling nostalgic, so I made some homemade popcorn, retired to the family room and put on a favorite film: Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I have always loved Audrey Hepburn in movies. She was so poised , graceful, and such a fashion icon.
