Prompt: "Describe the best place to hide in your home (closet, bed - under it or the covers, basement, attic, behind the couch, in a cupboard, etc.), and why it is the best?"

I live at the West Virginia Veterans Home. There are plenty of places to go to avoid being seen, but the best place is your own room. There are no actual hiding places that I have access to because I don't have the key to most of them. I don't want the liability associated with a master key.

Prompt: "What are your plans for the weekend?

I plan on getting some writing done. I am working my way down the Snail Mail Forum Birthday list, which has all the addresses and names of people in the Snail Mail Group. To date, I have written to everybody who has a birthday from March until early January. I have January and February to finish. I'll be working on that.

"Prompt: Write about your favorite fruit and/or cookie?"

My favorite cookie is soft chocolate chip or better yet, fudge brownie cookies from "Grandmas". Grandmas is a brand they sell locally. I don't know if they are available everywhere but they are delicious. They're soft cookies and full of delicious flavor. Each cookie is five inches across so they don't skimp on the size either. They're really good.

My favorite fruit is Mandarin oranges. Before this infernal shutdown began I ate with everybody else in the cafeteria. I had fresh mandarin oranges every day. Now the closest I can get is mandarins in jello and they just aren't the same. In time this too shall pass. Whether life is ever the same remains to be seen.
