The Wall #14
~She said the recipe had been handed down from her grandmother who baked bread and pizza in an outdoor oven.
As we sat there sharing stories, a boy of about 12 years came running down the hall, slowing to a walk as he neared my open door. He stopped outside and smiled impishly.
“Mother, may I ride my bike to Tommy's house?” After questions about homework and chores were answered to her satisfaction, she sent him off with a warning to be home before dark.
We laughed as he dashed down the hall and out the door with wings on his heels.~

Ohhh, how I love slice of life. Great job!
Another wonderful addition to your continuing story...BRAVO ! I remember those carefree days when kids could go out on their bikes for hours and be home before dark !
Did he grab a slice first? My boys would have!! Great take on the prompt!
I can't wait to find out if he gets home in time!
Oh what a great way to continue such a delightful story...bravo!
great job
Loved this. I need to go back and read the rest of this. You have such a nice way with words. Great job.
I like the phrase "wings on his heels". This was really fun.

Soon, your wall will be as long as the Great Wall in China! I love this little snippet, and, like Judie, I'm surprised he didn't grab a slice. Is he up to something?
Well that was a smoothe continuation of your story! Job well done!~Ames
Oh, possible drama if he doesn't get back in time...will wait for next week's installment!
Look forward to more..
