One day, I almost picked up a pair of scissors to cut myself with. My father hid the pocket dao, con dao from me. I then saw my guitar. As I was strumming, a few words began to pop into my head. I got a notebook I wasn't using otherwise and a pen, and I wrote some words down. They were very sad, but they seemed to give me some comfort. Just then, my mother came into my bedroom and said, "Aubrey, your Những người bạn are here." I came downstairs, and my Những người bạn Chelsea, Sam, and Brian were standing at the door. I said, "Hi, guys. What brings your here?" Chelsea said, "We're going to the mall. My mother is driving us there. We're just going to hang out." I said, "Okay." My mother said, "It might be good for her to get out of the house. She could use a change of scenery." I went with my friends. At one point, we looked in a store called FYE. It had all kinds of things, including âm nhạc things. I thought that I could use something different to listen to. I had been listening to grunge bands that my father liked in his twenties in the 1990's. Although I enjoyed them, save for Nirvana, I decided I wanted something different. I looked at a Rolling Stones CD. Brian said, "Seriously, Aubrey? The Rolling Stones?" I asked, "What's wrong with them?" He said, "They're ripping off a certain Liverpool band." Sam said, "They're all right, but they're not as good as the Beatles." I titled my head. "Beatles?" I đã đưa ý kiến curiously. Brian said, "You'd tình yêu them. If bạn like grunge, bạn like the Beatles. A lot of grungers were influenced bởi the Beatles in some ways." I said, "Cool." The only albums that were in stock were Past Masters and Abbey Road. I went with Past Masters. Brian said, "Ooh, that's a good one! It has all the best from the early years and all the best from the later years!" I said, "Okay." He said, "I'll tell bạn a little secret. I was named after their manager, Brian Epstein." I laughed and said, "You were not!" He laughed and said, "Okay, bạn got me!" Once at home, I listened to Past Masters. The Beatles were really great, and I could see how grunge musicians were influenced bởi the Beatles. bạn see, what most people don't understand about the grunge movement is that, despite the angst-filled lyrics, these musicians were actually about peace and love, much like the bands in the British Invasion. Angst is actually anger and despair, but there is still a glimmer of hope, unlike with anxiety. That was how I had been feeling since Jim's death. After listening to the Beatles, I went for a jog. I enjoyed it, but I wished I had a companion. I thought, A dog would be the perfect jogging companion for me. I began to do research on the perfect dog for me.

"So what happened after bạn decided to stop being a hippie?" Jimmy prompted him.
Henry settled back in his chair. "Well, around that time I was beginning to get tired of always being on the road. I loved the adventure in my youth, but I started to miss not having a proper trang chủ - hoặc neighbourhood, since I knew bởi then I wouldn't be getting married. I was just over thirty when I decided to quit being a roadie. My travels had taken me to North Carolina, and I knew I wanted to settle there. I was near the ocean which I loved, and it was near where I grew up but not too near - I knew I wouldn't want...

After a moment of crying together, Henry and the boys dried their tears. Henry said, "Okay, how about something happier now?" The boys nodded "yes". Henry said, "A năm had passed. It was 1967, the Summer of Love. Arguably, that's when the hippie scene started." Charles asked, "Were bạn a hippie back in the day?" Henry said, "Well, kind of. I dabbled in the scene a bit. I grew my hair long." Les said, "I never thought bạn would have long hair." Henry laughed. "I've got a picture to prove it." He took a picture out of his wallet. Sure enough, it was a younger version of Henry with long hair....

The band gathered round to listen closely, drawn in bởi the faraway, almost dreamy smile that had come over Henry's face.
"It was also in '65, I believe, on a warm summer's day. She was sitting tiếp theo to me in the stands, the prettiest girl bạn ever saw. And so excited to see the Beatles, bạn could feel it. Her smile made bạn want to smile too." Henry paused for a moment as if savouring the memory of all these details. "I wanted to lean over and introduce myself, but bạn boys know how loud the Beatles' concerts were. No chance at all of her hearing me. Everyone was cheering as loud as they could...

The boys perked up when they heard that Henry was once a roadie. "We'd tình yêu to hear about those days!" they said. Henry said, "Well, after I left home, I made my way to Memphis. I'm sure bạn know it was the birthplace of rock and roll. People did have a hard time taking me seriously at first." Charles asked, "Was it because bạn looked young for your age?" Henry nodded. "Yeah. I didn't look seventeen. People thought I was thêm like fourteen, and they were surprised I was able to drive. They soon learned to take me seriously when they saw how I was able to lift heavy equipment with ease. Just...

"I was born in Tennessee," Henry began. "My father was a miner in the coal mines, and my mother stayed trang chủ to cook and clean and raise me. bạn didn't see a lot of women with jobs in those days," he added, as the band members leaned in closer to listen.
"My childhood was nothing terribly unusual," Henry went on. "I went to school, and I was a good student - not hàng đầu, đầu trang of the class bởi any means, but my parents never complained about my grades. I went to church and Sunday school, and in the afternoons and on weekends I would play outside with the other boys in the neighbourhood. My parents were strict,...

Introduction

A Wave Tossed in the Ocean had just released their một giây album, and they were on tour promoting it. It was March. It was a cold winter night, so the members of A Wave Tossed in the Ocean, and their manager, Henry, were staying warm in their hotel room. They were taking turns telling funny stories. Henry laughed and said, "I know I've đã đưa ý kiến it before, and I'll say it again: you're like the sons I've never had." Charles, not really thinking...

A few hours later, Una and Everett were comfortably snuggled up together on the couch, sharing the last of Una's chocolates which lay in the open box between them, as the credits rolled on the movie.
"That was so good," murmured Una, her head resting on Everett's shoulder. "You know - I was looking phía trước, chuyển tiếp to your plans, whatever they were going to be, but I was really hoping we'd be able to watch this."
Everett gave a small laugh and shook his head. "I wish I'd known. I could have saved myself all this trouble."
Una grinned. "This year, our Valentine's ngày plans were on me," she said. "Next năm I expect it to be your turn."
Everett felt a warm rush at the thought of tiếp theo year, that Una was so certain they would be celebrating Valentine's ngày together tiếp theo year. But then... of course, Everett though. He wouldn't have considered anything different.
"I tình yêu you, Una," he said.
"I tình yêu bạn too, Everett," she said.

Valentine's ngày had finally arrived. Everett still had nothing special for Una. He felt ashamed of himself. A part of him wanted to tell Una that he was sick but lying to her wouldn't solve his problem. He had to tell her the truth. He proceeded to get ready, and he went to Una's house. He đã đưa ý kiến to himself, "She's going to be so disappointed. What if she decides to break up with me?" He then said, "It's a risk you'll have to take, Everett. Honesty is the best policy." He then rang the doorbell.

Una had just finished getting ready when she heard the doorbell ring. She said, "I'll get it." She...

“You don't have any tables for that night? Are bạn sure?”
“Yes, sir.” The gentleman's voice on the other end of Everett's phone was polite but firm. “Most people book weeks in advance for a được ưa chuộng time like Valentine's Day.”
Everett sighed, thanked the man anyway, and hung up the phone. His chin dropped into his arms on the table. That was the fifth fancy restaurant he had called, and every one had told him the same thing. No one had any không gian for him to make a reservation, even really early hoặc really late.
No special necklace... no fancy dinner... What was he going to do? Una was...

Everett went to the mall the tiếp theo day, trying to figure out what to do for Una for their first Valentine's Day. He then noticed the jewelry store. "That's it!" he đã đưa ý kiến to himself. "I'll get Una a beautiful necklace. I know she likes necklaces. She has so many of them. She never wears the same one every day." He then saw a sign advertising a beautiful chuỗi hạt, chuỗi hạt cườm on sale. It was fourteen karat gold, and it had a ngôi sao on it. Una was sure to tình yêu it! He went to talk to the woman at the front desk. She said, "I'm so sorry. We just sold out." He said, "Oh, that's too bad." She said, "I could special...

Everett flipped the calendar page from January to February one mild winter morning, wondering why something felt thêm significant about February than it did every other year. Then his eye wandered down the page to the fourteenth, and he laughed and shook his head. Of course, he reminded himself. Most years, he didn't think too much about Valentine's ngày beyond giving his parents a call and wishing them a happy one. But this năm was different. This would be the first Valentine's ngày that he and Una would spend together.
Everett's heartbeat quickened. He had to do something big for Una - something...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and this is what you've all been waiting for: this year's holiday message. Without further ado, let's get started, shall we?

We are now in the holiday season. I can't believe it's already here. It seems like we should only be halfway through the year, but here we are, heading to the finish line of 2021. This holiday season consists of quite a few firsts for me and my family.

This is Joplin's first giáng sinh with us. Technically, this is her một giây Christmas, but last Christmas, she was too young to leave her mother. We brought her trang chủ in January this year. She will...

The doctors did keep Una in the hospital a couple thêm days just to make sure she was okay, but to Everett and Una it was already clear she'd recovered. She started feeling impatient to get out and start doing things again, though Everett suggested they maybe not try hiking in the snow anymore, at least not this year. Instead they discussed a trip to the skating rink for later in the winter. Everett stayed with Una in the hospital as much as he was able to, and they entertained themselves with the phim chiếu rạp Una had brought.
The only thing worrying Una is when she decided she really should call...
