People often asked me if I am a character in my books. I know that I have a little Ophelia Jones that I carry with me every day,

it is the ability to make fun of myself and situations. I have a new story that is fun to share. You all know the wedding is coming up and my hunt to try to find the Cinderella shoes that will help me magically dance the night away. We all wish, but we know new shoes take a proper amount of stretching. Does anyone really believe that Cinderella slipped a foot in a glass shoe? Of course not and I was not going to take that chance. I decide to wear my new shoes to brunch. I am going to say in an undisclosed city because I am about to commit a small crime. I had gotten away with just two years ago and was ready to go at it again. The brunch is done and I will walk to my crime site overtly make off with my prize and have the getaway car waiting. The wedding shoes were a dream, and I walked to the selected site. A place where I located  the most beautiful flower two years ago. Snuck the seed pod away and brought it to a wonderful flower against all odds. Now, here I was again ready to snip a flower when a tourist decide to follow me. Is my getaway car anywhere in the vicinity. I don't think so. My getaway drivers are busy conversing with waitress or perhaps a passing person wishing them how to do. Whatever the case I have the seed pod burning a small hole in my palm. This new tourist follows me with glazed eyes wondering if I knew where to go for the day. He has a  camera and seem to want to make an event happen. My small attempts at small talk only make him follow me faster. And where is my getaway car? The van slowly turned the corner puffing and huffing as a tourist waved to me as I carried my prize to the car. The getaway was smooth even with the sprinklers going off in all directions. It is easy to see with every ordinary event, we can turn it into a comical and unique way to view ourselves.
