DP Daily Prompt: Leftovers Sandwich

Today, publish a post based on unusual material from a previous piece–a paragraph you nixed, a link you didn’t include, a photo you decided not to use. Let your leftovers shine!

In one of my previous post I wrote about Mr. Melendy, how thoughtful he was, I wasn’t able to thank him enough for his kindness.

I didn’t mention another thing he did for me. He called me one day and asked if I’d be interested to go to St John’s, because he was going and it’d be no trouble for him to pick me up from my house, he knew my husband was in the hospital and I might want to go to see him, I was delighted but had a bit of a problem, I had our two cats in the house and I wondered if he’d mind taking them along.

I was surprised when he said, ‘sure take them along.’

I did feel guilty, but Mr. Melendy did not mind taking me and the cats in his vehicle all the way to St. John’s, which is two hundred miles from Gander.

He was unbelievably kind, in case you are wondering I could not rely on anyone in Gander to look after the felines!

365 Writing Prompts: Keeping up with the Jones’

Tell us about the luxury item you wish you could afford,in as much detail as you can.Paint a picture for us.

This is a very interesting prompt, thank you WordPress.

As far as my memory goes I had no intention of wanting something my friend or acquaintance had, simply because I never felt I had to have things the same or better than anyone else.

I was perfectly happy to have what I could afford and I I never failed to appreciate what the so called Jones’ had if it was beautiful.

I remember my husband once asked me, “Ranu don’t you want a house like the one our friends have?”

I told him I did not, my reason was it was too large and I wouldn’t be able to take care of it.

I have no idea what my husband thought, my feeling is why should I go for something that our friends have, if it is not practical?

I am of the opinion not every one is keen to keep up with the Jones!’
