QB has a lot of pressure to make things happen. Support of a good team and coaching staff make all the difference.

Daily Prompt Challenge – “First”

Would you believe…this was my first car?! A 1969 Plymouth Barracuda, fastback edition. Yep, by many classic car experts, this would be a great find…but my high school friends weren’t classic car experts and didn’t think it was too cool! It was an older car and not what a teenage girl would choose as her first car, at least this once teenage girl. But for me, the Barracuda was key to my teenage independence and had great acceleration, and IRead more

Daily Prompt Challenge – Transported

He was transported in a car to an early morning baseball game. He played hard and helped his team win the game. Then he was transported an hour away to a park in the mountains. He listened to older siblings carry on with laughter and with bickering. When they stopped at the park, he was two feet shorter than everyone playing basketball. He quietly got his favorite mode of transportation-his skateboard. And off he goes, enjoying the freedom that comesRead more

The need? Chloee needs a bit of comforting after falling on the concrete. She handled it well at first, but concern for the “boo-boo” kept surfacing. The friend?
