The Table 2. Top Story - September 2024.
An empty table where are the people to enjoy the space. (An empty table could mean a lot of things to me. One reason for an empty table is because there is no family. Another reason for an empty table there could be no food, but still another reason for an empty table could be that no care to show up just to be together food or no food. A table's purpose to bring together those who care and share what is important with one another. I know in today's society its main purpose is to be a vehicle to serve and eat food with very little meaningful conversation except for maybe 'Pass the butter." or "Pass the ketchup." No one really shares their day around the table anymore maybe because they are so busy from school and work and other activities. There is one day or two that there is that allows for conversation even though there is a lot of passing around of food. One just has to listen to the others around the table.)

The Green Door
The person did not go back to the secret room for a while for there were too many others that were roaming around the door. She did not want anyone for the time being to know that she knew that the room was there. She wondered who did live there at one time and seems to visit every once in a while, to tidy things up for the girl never seems to notice anyone from the staff going in that general direction maybe they use that back entrance to do their cleaning duties. Maybe I should ask around but not in a conspicuous way. Who should I ask first?

The Room part three
In this room there are many options that one may take. One way could be to just repaint the walls a white or grayish color or as if it was a child that created the partial image still on the wall for there must have been a reason for it. For what is there for to me it is a garden view for there is lattice and leaves. The plant on the windowsill to the left looks to me like the leaves on the wall. What could this mean? Whoever designed this is one very creative person adult or child.

The Women
Here is a novel written by Kristin Hannah entitled 'The Women'. It is a novel of the women who were nurses serving during the Vietnam War. The main character, who goes by the name of Frankie is the focus of the story and how she comes to grips about herself from someone who wants to make her family proud to a person who just wants to be accepted for what she has accomplished. Frankie is a new nurse who decides she wants to serve her country in Vietnam as a way to be close to a brother who was killed over there. She goes even though her parents are against it, and she should just get married and have children as this was the time that women could really only be nurses, teachers or secretaries other than mothers.
