In Line at the Bank

I was exhausted.  I had had a busy morning, and I was on my way home with a van load of groceries when I remembered that I needed to stop by the bank and deposit some checks.

I parked the van and walked slowly to the entrance.  I felt the weight of my nine month . . . → Read More: In Line at the Bank
