Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
Do not, ever, underestimate the values lifestyles of the comfortable elderly; more than capable with years of experience behind them, of exercising the wisdom of those years. They do not lack for entertainment, avidly looking toward the week-end offering of advertisement flyers.
At the breakfast table, the house-delivered adverts that deluge society are sorted, compared, prices checked and re-checked, special sales with enticing nuances carefully noted; those flyers representing keepers, set aside.
The creaky old bones settle nicely within the family-sized van, deemed by the wizened owners adequate for their needs, and off they go, one driving, the other persistently navigating, to visit the shops on the route carefully mapped to acquire their bargains.
