<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve been sharing many stories from way back and I just thought I’d show that some things don’t really change. This little story happened just this past summer. Although I still rarely do anything wrong, you’ll see that Tom is still way too picky. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Actually, I’d personally been so good that there had been little to write about. I didn’t take the boat out by myself one single time <i>that Tom knows about</i>, and rarely at that. His stern admonishment at the beginning of the summer, ‘do not drink if I don’t put the drink in your hand’ has not been difficult to abide by. You see, when we last stocked up on wine, I positioned myself so that I put each bottle away as Tom unpacked it. Every drop of wine in those bottles was handed to me by my dear husband and thus, fair game! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Now don’t worry. Sue and I usually limit ourselves to one or two glasses in the afternoon and I’m pretty sure Tom knows. But truly I have been good, and while I know Tom appreciated the effort, I think he gets bored if I behave too well for too long. When this happens, I think he sometimes gets picky and begins looking for reasons for a sound spanking. Goodness knows why, we have plenty of fun ones. But then for no reason, he gets all stern with me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Here’s a case in point. Sue and I had plans to go to a pottery/craft show. Tom knew we were going. I didn’t really know what time we were planning to leave, but that morning Sue called early – right after Tom left on his run. “How soon can you be ready? Let’s go to breakfast before we go to the show.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I told her to come on as soon as she was ready and I’d hurry. I kept thinking Tom would be back before we left but evidently he was on a long run. Being a perfect wife, I left him a note:<br /><br /><i>‘Tom, </i><br /><i>Sue and I left early for breakfast. We’ll be home around one. </i><br /><i>Love you,<br />Cassie’</i> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">We were headed out the door when Sue began fussing at me, “You’re not planning to carry that suitcase around all day are you? We’re going to be walking a lot and you’re gonna break you shoulder.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Sue’s always making fun of my pocketbook and claiming I carry everything but the kitchen sink. It’s certainly not true, but for this particular outing, I realized she was right and quickly changed to a smaller bag. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">We had a great day. The weather had cooled off and the crafts at this show were amazing. I love the craft shows where you can visit with the artist. We talked with many and got to watch them create some of the lovely pottery that they were selling. We bought a few things, had a big lunch and arrived home a little before two. Sue let me off and headed on home without coming in. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">That was probably for the best. Tom was not in a good mood. I could tell that the minute I walked in. Tom came over and kissed me but it wasn’t a lingering one. “Where have you been?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“Where have I been? You know Sue and I were going to the craft show today. And I left you a note this morning. You know exactly where I’ve been,” I told him, somewhat bewildered. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re late. You said you’d be home at one.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t figure out what had put the bee in his bonnet. “I think I said around one and it’s not even two, so that’s around one. Would you be mad if I’d come home around twelve?” I was starting to get aggravated. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“That’s enough, Cassie Jane.” Tom told me, in his sternest voice. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "times";">Enough</span></i><span style="font-family: "times";">? <i>Cassie Jane?</i> <i>What</i> was going on? He was really upset and I knew it wasn’t because I’d been a little late. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“Tom, what are you mad about?” I asked, truly not understanding. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“I’m not mad,” he stated, shortly. “But you know one of the rules of this house is that you will not leave without your cell phone. I come back home this morning and you’re not here. The cell phone, however, is. And, then you breeze in here late, acting as if nothing’s wrong.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Bingo! I finally found what had gotten him upset. Hidden in that statement was the real reason for his annoyance. He came home and I wasn’t here. It bugs him to death. That was what had started all this. But I realized he was planning to spank me for not taking my phone – chalk another one up to, ‘It’s really Sue’s fault.’ She was the one who made me change my purse and I just forgot to pick my phone back up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“Tom, you know I always have my phone with me these days. I haven’t forgotten it in months. Now just calm down and I’ll tell you all about the craft show.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I was talking to myself. Tom took my hand and led me to the bedroom, with me protesting all the way. I had not done anything wrong, not really. That didn’t stop him for a minute. I was quickly bare-bottomed and over his lap. He spanked with his hand and I know in my head that it wasn’t even that hard, but I was fighting him mentally the whole time and that always makes it hurt more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">He stopped. But before letting me up, he said, “I’ve told you before, being without your cell phone will get you spanked every time. I don’t want you to forget that.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I hate cell phones! I wish the damn things had never been invented! The spanking hadn’t been harsh but neither had it been a good-girl. I was still annoyed and very quiet when he let me up. He hugged me and kissed the top of my head, but now I was the one mad then. I hate feeling this way after a spanking, but I couldn’t help it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Tom went about his afternoon and I took on the job of completely avoiding him and muttering to myself about his unfairness. Around four, Steve and Sue came over. Tom, Steve and Ryan, who had joined us, were in the yard chipping golf balls while Sue and Allie and I sat on the deck. We watched the men and they listened to me gripe. Both Sue and Allie were properly sympathetic. Sue continued on her old theme, ‘You shouldn’t have to put up with that shit’ and ‘why don’t you throw his ass out?’ It’s her way of showing support and, as always, we ignored what she was saying until she came to the following phrase. “He just needs to cool off.” She was exactly right. He <i>did </i>need to cool off.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you ever do something and the instant you do, you are stunned by your own actions? That’s what I felt almost as soon as I turned on the lawn sprinklers. I could hardly believe my own actions. I heard the men bellow and watched them sprint to the house. I stood there like a deer caught in headlights. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">They were soaked when they reached the deck. Everyone was staring at me in disbelief, even Sue and Allie. I made a stab at behaving like any mature woman who was completely justified in doing what she had done. That is, I blamed Sue. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“I… I… Sue said Tom needed to cool off,” I stammered. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Sue was on her feet in a flash at my treachery. “You’re trying to blame <i>me</i>?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m sure the rest of what she had to say would have been most interesting but I wasn't around to hear it. Tom, now with a slight smile on his face, grabbed me with one wet hand and marched me through the house to the bedroom. He picked up the school ruler – that darn thing is heavy and stings like hell. I was quickly pulled across Tom’s wet lap for my <i>second </i>spanking of the day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“Wait!” I yelled in a panic. “Tom you didn’t close the door! Close it, close it!” Tom had our suite soundproofed when we redid the house. While I know everyone on the deck was fully aware of what was happening, I still didn’t want them hearing it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“I wasn’t the only one you just tried to drown,” Tom told me, flatly. “Maybe they would like to hear you get your comeuppance!” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t believe him! My embarrassment didn’t slow him for one second. I know the pop that ruler makes could have been heard next door and I wasn’t exactly silent myself.<br />“Owww, Owww! Stop!” I couldn’t help shouting. He was spanking fast and hard. I finally managed to throw in a few ‘I’m sorrys’ and ‘I won’t ever do it again’ as he finally came to a stop. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Tom was in a fine mood now and he was laughing as he helped me to my feet and gave me a big hug. “Girl, what am I going to do with you? Sometimes I think you’d spit in the devil’s face.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“I thought I just did,” I told him sourly and I tried to rub the sting away. “You could have shut the door,” I hissed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Tom laughed at me again. “And you could have behaved yourself. Now, you go out there and apologize to Steve and Ryan. And Sue, while you’re at it. Imagine trying to blame that sweet woman for your bad behavior. And one more thing,” Tom continued, before I could voice my indignation, “whatever else you may do – don’t ever change. I do love you.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">What am I going to do with <i>him</i>? He can spank me for no reason, as many times a day as he feels like. Embarrass me in front of my friends. Order me to apologize when I don’t want to and laugh at me in the bargain. Yet with one smile, one touch, just the sparkle in his eyes and I just melt with love for him. How does he do it? I guess I'll never know, but he’s a master at it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times";">Allie often pesters me for old stories. She’s not wanting to hear about anything good I’ve managed to do. No, she wants </span><span style="font-family: "times";">me to tell of the </span><span style="font-family: "times";"></span><span style="font-family: "times";">incidents </span><span style="font-family: "times";">that show my horrible side. Few stories show a worse side of me than the one about Mattie. For reasons you might be able to imagine, this has become one of Lily’s favorites too. For newcomers, this is <i>not </i>me now! I may still occasionally find myself on the wrong side of Tom’s paddle, but it’s not for being unkind to others.</span><span style="font-family: "times";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve written that Tom and I had a whirlwind courtship – marrying a scant six weeks after we met. But I’ve never told you about the other woman that was in Tom’s life at that time. Yes, there was another woman and yes, Tom loved her dearly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">They had met when Tom was nearly sixteen and time had only brought them closer. Now, in a way, I’m only teasing. Theirs was a love story – but not <i>that </i>kind. Mattie came to work for his parents when Tom was in his teens. She lived-in and became their household manager. She was a widow with a son not much younger than Tom. Mattie soon became Tom’s confidante and friend for the many days his parents traveled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">When he was twenty-two, Tom lost both his parents within a year of one another. Mattie’s son had recently joined the military so Mattie came to work for Tom, newly graduated from college, in the same capacity she had worked for his parents. She was part cook, part maid, part life coach and part parent. So yes, the two of them loved one another very much. They worked well together and the household ran like a well-oiled machine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">You may be shocked to hear this, but I didn’t fit right into their orderly, sensible, scheduled existence. LOL! My, we all had some adjusting to do. Having spent the previous five years acting as wild as buck, I was in shock at all the abrupt changes in my life. Suddenly, someone expected me to listen to him and do as I was told. I chafed and fought most of the changes Tom was bringing into my life, beneficial though they might ultimately have been.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Challenging him directly was a painful option. I know now that it was fear, frustration and anger that caused me to act the way I did. I was afraid I had jumped into marriage too quickly. I was frustrated by the sudden restrictions on my life and deep down I was heartsick and angry because I felt I would soon lose Tom, whom I had come to love so fiercely. All the men I had been with for the previous five years had eventually left. I had no reason at that time to feel Tom would be any different.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">It seems that my worry, frustrations and anger turned to one target – Mattie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I had watched how my parents and my first husband had treated those who worked for them – like dirt. In my mind I believed that there were two types of people in the world - those with power and those with none. I had been powerless as I grew up and I was in an even worse situation in my first marriage. But that ended when my first husband died and I was free of his tyranny. I had inherited his money. To me that meant that for the first time I was in control.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">For the five years prior to my marriage to Tom I had perfected my ‘power’ act. No one was immune - maids, cooks, waiters, store clerks, drivers – all of them felt my wrath. I cursed, berated and belittled. Today, it hurts to remember how I was back then. I now see myself as a pleasant (if somewhat batty) little southern lady, but that is Tom’s creation. On my own, my fears and insecurities combined to create a cross between Leona Helmsley and the Devil wears Prada – only not as sweet!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Mattie – dear Mattie – she must have wondered what had hit their peaceful home. It began smoothly enough. I was so blotted in love with Tom I followed him around like an adoring puppy. But as he got back into his work schedule, I began to resent Mattie for running his home so efficiently. I resented the closeness she and Tom shared and I resented their easy, relaxed friendship. In front of Tom I was sweet as pie to Mattie, but oh my, when he was out of the house I turned into a shrew!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I soon began countermanding any order, suggestion or request she made to anyone who worked at the house. I would change menus at the last minute, rearrange the way cleaning and laundry were done – anything to annoy Mattie. I wanted Tom to fire her but I knew that was extremely unlikely. What I didn’t know, though, was that Mattie was on the verge of leaving to live with her daughter and son-in-law who were expecting their first child. Tom had begged her to stay until the baby came or at least for a few months so that I could get settled. She had agreed. She would do anything for Tom. But I knew none of this and my feeble plan was to make her unhappy enough to quit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Mattie always brought my breakfast tray up after Tom left and I would begin my day by finding fault with something. Mattie soon adopted a calm ‘take it or leave it attitude’ and suggested I might be more pleased if I came to the dining room for breakfast – closer to the kitchen – where last minute changes could be more easily handled. I screamed abuse at her for such a suggestion. I cursed and called her names – but she barely reacted and never once told Tom what was happening.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">This had been going on for some weeks when one morning Mattie failed to bring me my Bloody Mary. “Mr. Tom’s worried about you overdoing it on the drinking,” she explained, “and I agree with him.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I went ballistic!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“You stupid cow!” I screamed at her. “Who do you think is in charge here? I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think of my drinking! Who the hell are you to interfere with my life? When I tell you to do something you damn well better jump!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Mattie, as usual, was completely unaffected by my tantrum. “Orange juice would be better for you,” she stated, calmly. Oh, how I <i>hated </i>her calm.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“Do you know what you can do with this f-ing orange juice?” I bellowed. I punctuated my question by throwing the full glass of juice at the door. The glass exploded, spraying its contents over the room as glass fragments rained down.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">It was then that Tom stepped into the room…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I was nearly speechless with terror. One look at Tom’s face had me wondering if I would ever sit again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I was like a deer caught in the headlights in the face of his fury. He was fast – he grabbed my hand and had me over his knee before I could take a breath. He began spanking fast and furious! All I could get out was, “NO! Tom – don’t! Stop! Please!" But he may as well have been deaf.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Quickly, I was in agony, but he was nowhere near finished. Then he paused for a moment and said, “You stay right there. I want you to be here for this.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">He was talking to Mattie, who was still present. Mattie’s only response was, “Then it’s a good thing you’re old enough that your wants won't hurt you.” And she quietly left the room.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I had a fraction of a second to think ‘<i>Go, Mattie!</i>’ I couldn’t help admiring anyone brave enough to stand up to Tom. But in the next instant he resumed the spanking, if possible, with even more force! And he wasn’t even talking yet. I had already learned that once he began talking, we were barely at the halfway point. I didn’t think I was going to make it. I was crying and begging him to stop when I heard Mattie, who had come back, say, “That’s enough.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“Not by a long shot,” Tom retorted, as a well-aimed spank found my sit spot. “Her rudeness, her language, her disrespect – I will not tolerate it.” The next lick landed on my upper thigh and I howled! Mattie walked right over to Tom and shocked both of us by taking hold of his wrist.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“I know you won’t tolerate it – but I said, that’s enough. You're angry and the best thing for you to do would be to go back to work. This incident is over with and Miss Cassie has a mess of orange juice to clean up.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Tom seemed somewhat at a loss and I didn’t dare say a word. Tom hesitated, then finally relented. “Very well, we’ll continue this discussion tonight.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">“You can discuss all you want to tonight, but you’ll do it face to face,” Mattie told him, firmly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Tom stood me up and looked at me sternly. “You are very lucky to have Mattie on your side.” He kissed me on the forehead and as he left the room, did the same to Mattie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">After he left, I didn’t know what to say. I was embarrassed – Tom had never spanked me in front of anyone. I was also beginning to feel ashamed for the way I’d treated Mattie. What I was mostly feeling at the moment was profound gratitude to her for <i>literally </i>saving my butt.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">I did clean up the mess I made. Then Mattie and I had a long talk, the first of many, many long talks. During those first years of my marriage, Tom was the one who insisted I be a lady – but it was Mattie who actually taught me how.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">She didn’t really approve of spanking. That was the only real spanking Mattie ever witnessed and the only time she ever interfered – but she made no secret that she didn’t like it one bit. She had dealt with the same issue of disapproval when Tom’s father spanked his mother. They had had a standard ‘agree to disagree’ deal.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, Mattie was the closest thing to a mother I ever had. Over the years she would often come and stay with us for short visits. During those precious visits we often talked, fought, laughed and cried. But mostly, we loved each other as families should.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: large;">Mattie passed away in 2000 at the age of 82. We were all with her that day – her son, daughter, grandchildren and Tom and me. She had a hand in rearing us all and we all still miss her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here's the last part of my story of running away - at least it's the last part of that particular time I ran. You can click on the following parts to read them, <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-one.html">part one</a>, <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-two.html">part two</a>, <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-three.html">part three</a>, <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-four.html">part four</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t believe what Tom had just said. “What do you mean?” I asked in shock. “You just wore me out. Tom, I can hardly sit. You can’t spank me again.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie you ran away. If you ever do that again, you can expect that exact reunion. You can call it a warm-up for all I care, but when we get home, we’ll address the issues at hand.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My bottom was throbbing. Every turn of the car was a painful reminder of our ‘reunion’ and the thought of more on top of what I was feeling was something I didn’t think I could bear, “Honey, please,” I started. “I’ve told you I was sorry. Can’t you…?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie, I said we would discuss it at home, not in the car. You need to hush.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hate it when Tom won’t let me talk and it’s even worse when he doesn’t talk to me. I liked the idea of talking it out while both of his hands were firmly on the wheel. So I tried again, “Tom please don’t be like that. I was coming home this morning. You’ve spanked me. Let’s forget it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom slowed the car and pulled to the side of the road and turned to look at me. “I need to make sure I have your full attention before I repeat myself one more time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly, realizing he was perfectly capable of blistering my bottom again right there on the side of the road and knowing I would still get another at home, I hastily apologized and promised to be quiet until we arrived.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“That’s a very good idea,” Tom told me in a serious voice and he pulled back onto the road. My heart was pounding but I stayed quiet as a mouse until we arrived home. Tom came around to open my door and just getting out of the car and standing was an ordeal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As soon as we got in, I had to keep trying. “Tom, I’m so sorry. I really am. Honey, I didn’t get any sleep. I need a shower. Can’t we discuss this later, maybe over a glass of wine… maybe in bed? Let me show you how sorry I am…” Unfortunately, Tom was not accepting my offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Take your shower, and then we’ll talk.” Tom told me as he led me to the bedroom. I sighed and headed toward our bath. “Leave the door open,” he told me. “I want to keep my eye on that window.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Under the circumstances, I wasn’t comfortable undressing in front of my own husband, but I did as I was told. I so wished he would join me in the shower. But I knew that wouldn’t happen. I showered as long as I dared. I knew he was waiting on me. Tom was sitting in a chair in the bedroom watching me as I dried off. It gave me such a strange feeling. I finally took a deep breath, donned my robe, and joined him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gingerly, I sat on the bed clutching a pillow as though it were armor. I didn’t say anything. I knew there wasn’t one thing to say that was going to change his mind. He kept staring at me for the longest time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Standing up, he finally spoke. “You messed up girl. You didn’t stay home when I told you to, you were going to lie to me about it, you ran away from me, and then you hung up on me when I was worried to death about where you were. You’re not going to do that again.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly for my behind, that wasn’t exactly true. But I surely would have been willing to swear at that moment that I would never do any of those things again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom picked up the ivory brush from the dresser and coming to the bed, took both the pillow and the robe. I was protesting, but he was listening to nothing I said. He then sailed into my extremely sore bottom, full force, and suddenly he was full of questions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“What possessed you to leave the house when I told you not to?” How can he expect me to answer questions while he is scorching my bottom?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I knew he wanted an answer, so I managed to gasp, “Sue called and begged me to go to the casino with her. She had some free tickets to the buffet and didn’t want them to go to waste. Owww,” I added as he continued to spank.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“So you thought going with Sue when I told you to stay home was a good idea? What do you think now?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Owww… No, it was a horrible idea. Please stop,” I wailed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom paused a moment, then asked, “When you went out the window what happened? Where did you go?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Westly,” I answered truthfully. Ten more licks had me squirming like mad to get off his lap with no success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I mean right then!” he said angrily. “I looked all over for you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn’t want to say, but I didn’t dare hesitate. “I stuck around and hid in Sue’s car. I was in it when she left.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom paused, “Do you mean to tell me Sue knew exactly where you were all night? I’m going to ring her neck.” I felt like suggesting he run right over to their house and take care of that immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“You didn’t use a card last night. Where did you get the money for the hotel?” I was impressed at the incredible speed at which my mind sorted through and discarded various scenarios even with my backside ablaze. I could tell him I borrowed some money from Sue – then I could keep the money I won gambling. But I wasn’t sure how soon I could get to Sue to tell her. If Tom got there first and found I had lied again… well, that was something I simply couldn’t risk at the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I won a little at the casino,” I managed to gasp out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“How much?” he asked<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Heaven help me, I hesitated a moment too long and five blistering licks landed at exactly the same spot on my upper thigh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Not there,” I screeched before I managed to gasp out, “seven hundred dollars.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Alright Cassie,” Tom said as he began to lightly rub the smooth side of the brush around my bottom, “Do you feel I’ve gotten through to…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Yes, yes, Tom. I’ll never do it again,” I promised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That only earned me another hard pop, “You listen to what I’m saying before you answer me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I shut up and listened to every word he had to say. I had no idea what the words actually were, but he wasn’t spanking and I surely didn’t want it to start again. He finally ended with “… do you understand?” And I sincerely and eagerly agreed, to whatever it was he’d said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He rubbed a bit, but I could hardly stand it. He set me on my feet and said, “Go get me the money before I take care of your bottom.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wasn’t about to argue. Tom has never allowed me to have large amounts of cash. Please understand, he denies me nothing, but it goes on a credit card and he sees everything. I liked having a little ‘mad money’, but I quickly got what cash was left and turned it over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I lay on the bed then as Tom gently rubbed lotion on my bottom. I was so raw it felt like he was pouring on liquid fire. But I gritted my teeth and said nothing. Tom hadn’t slept the night before either, so he joined me in bed and held me. I was drowsy, and despite the pain, I felt so content in Tom’s arms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was nearly asleep when it hit me. Something had happened that day, that in my dread of the consequences, I had completely missed. I had bolted, I had run away from Tom… and he had come after me. That had never happened to me before. When I had been with other men and bolted, or they had, there was nothing more than a ‘good riddance’. Tom had cared that I'd left. He wanted me back, and he came for me and claimed me as his. As I thought about it, I was blown away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gingerly, I turned over so I could look at Tom as he slept. This beautiful man was mine. He <i>loved me</i>. He wanted me with him. He would protect me. He would guide me and always, always keep me safe. Turning back over, I gasped as Tom pulled me close, even in his sleep, and my thoroughly spanked bottom was pressed against him. That wasn’t the last time I ran. It was years before I really, fully believed that Tom loved me and wasn’t going to leave. It’s almost hard to believe now, but I had had no experience with real love before. It’s been an amazing journey. One I wouldn’t have missed for the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I tossed fretfully that night. I didn’t fall into a deep sleep until the early morning hours, but I slept until almost ten. I woke feeling rough. I had no change of clothing, no toothbrush, I felt like a wreck. I knew I was going to have to go home, and soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was just coming fully awake when someone began pounding on the door. It had to be Tom, but how on earth had he found me? I’d slept in my clothes and I knew I looked like the devil. Tentatively, I peeked through the eyehole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was Sue and she had coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“How did you know which room I was in?” was my first question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“You don’t think after all these years I know your aliases?” She then started in on me, “Tom’s about ready to call out the National Guard. He has Steve and Andy and probably half a dozen others out looking for you. If he had any idea you had left with me, I think I’d be tied to an anthill by now. You have to come home.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A small shiver shook me and I nodded. Sue is rarely seriously, but her next words and her tone made me realize she was truly worried. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie, what is it? I know you’re scared to go home. What are you afraid Tom's going to do to you? You’re not scared because he’s going to be mad and yell. But you <i>are </i>scared. Cassie does he hit you? I never thought he was like…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I recoiled as she said the name of my first husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“<i>No</i>!” I said with passion. “Don’t you <i>ever </i>say that. Don’t say that name to me again ever. Tom, like that… that…?” I couldn’t finish my sentence. “You’re insane!” I snapped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Well then, what is it?” she snapped back at me. “Tell me what has you so scared that you ran away. <i>Tell me!”</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“He paddles me,” I blurted out. “There, are you satisfied?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“He does what?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My face was burning with embarrassment, but I'd said it and I was stuck. I couldn’t allow her to think that Tom treated me poorly. He certainly didn’t. But how could you explain this to someone who knew nothing about the dynamics of a spanking relationship? I couldn’t even bring myself to use the word ‘spanking’. I was too embarrassed and somehow the word ‘paddling’ sounded gentler.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sue was still staring at me in total disbelief. Finally, she said, “You mean on the butt? Like, he spanks your butt? Oh, this is hysterical.” The absurdity of what I had told her, along with her relief that I wasn’t again in an abusive situation, was too much for her. Spanking within a marriage wasn’t so unheard of in those days, though it was usually taken as a joke. Sue could no longer contain her laughter and she simply cut loose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don’t know which emotion I was feeling the most – mortification or anger but they seemed to be running pretty much neck and neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Shut–up!” I yelled, “It’s not funny!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“The hell it isn’t,” she choked out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I turned my back on her until she was able to compose herself. She finally came over to me and put her arm around me. “I’m sorry. Honest I am. I didn’t mean to laugh, but I thought the bastard was really beating you or something. I was ready to kill him. Driving up here I was thinking of places to hide the body and now you tell me he pops you on the butt when he’s mad… hey, that sounds reasonable to me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Well, it hurts some,” I snapped. “And it’s <i>embarrassing</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps I hadn’t given her the total truth, but it was the closest I could do at the time. During that first year, she had seen me sitting sensitively a time or two and wondered, but I don’t think she had any real idea of what I was talking about until she actually saw it on the cruise. And we never really talked about it in detail for another thirty years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“You’ll live,” she told me without much sympathy. “Come on, let’s go home.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We both turned as we heard a key in the door. It was Tom and his presence seemed to fill the room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sue grabbed her purse and headed for the door. “Don’t give me one of your looks,” she told Tom as she passed. “I’m going. Call me later, Cassie.” And out she went, leaving me with Tom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How can you be so happy and so scared to see someone at the same time? First came the hug. I was so happy to be enveloped in his arms I almost forgot what was coming next. He held me for the longest time. It felt like heaven, but sadly, it didn’t last forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In one swift movement I went from being hugged to being face down over his lap. He didn’t say a word. He just bared my bottom and began with his hand as hard as he could. It was excruciating. It was exactly what I had feared all that restless night. I thought I could feel all his fear and frustration coming right through his hand. I didn’t think he was going to stop. I tried not to cry out, but it was impossible. Finally, I was pleading with him to stop and promising perfect behavior for the rest of my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was a sobbing mess when it finally came to an end. I needed him to rub so badly. I couldn’t stand it. As he stood me on my feet, I reached back to do some rubbing myself. “No, leave it,” Tom commanded, handing me his handkerchief. I managed to keep my hands from rubbing, as I redressed, but I was shifting my weight trying to get some relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom handed me my purse. There wasn’t really anything else in the room, so he ushered me to the car. I was hurting so at the moment, I dreaded sitting. Tom opened the door for me as I eased in gingerly. He reached for the seat belt, which I didn’t usually use at that time, and tightened it firmly enough to make me gasp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom got into the car and turned to look at me. He had conflicting emotions in his face. I wasn’t sure what he was going to say. He finally took a deep breath and said, “Cassie, you have no idea how much I love you.” I leaned my head back against the seat and took a relaxing breath until I heard Tom finish with, “But when I get you home, I’m going to wear you out.”</span><span style="color: #0432ff;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here's part three. You can find part <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-one.html">one</a> here and part <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-two.html">two</a> here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sue and I didn’t talk much on the thirty-mile trip to Westly. I know she wanted to ask questions, but she also knew I didn’t want to discuss Tom anymore. When she let me out at the hotel, she asked, “You want me to come in?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hesitated. I didn’t want to talk but I didn’t want to be alone either. “No,” I finally answered. “Just don’t tell Steve or Tom you’ve seen me since you left the house. I’ll call you tomorrow.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“You have to go home and face him sometime you know.” Sue seemed a little concerned. “Aww… come on and let me take you back before this gets out of hand. So, he’s pissed. He’ll get over it. Come on, let’s go home already.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wavered momentarily, but I was in deep and I just couldn’t back out. “I’ll call you tomorrow,” I repeated and headed in. I used a fake name. It wasn’t hard back then and if anyone was suspicious that I had no luggage, they never said anything to me. My winnings from the casino that day kept me from having to use a card. I felt that I was pretty well hidden for the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I reached the room, I drew a shaky sigh of relief. Quickly, however, overwhelming loneliness and guilt hit me. I did think I had the right to come and go as I pleased, but I <i>had </i>told Tom I would stay home and I hadn’t. I felt horrible. I really wanted to go home but you have to understand that back then I <i>hated </i>being spanked. I hated the pain, I hated the embarrassment, I hated the loss of control, I hated every bit of it. Back then I would do <i>anything </i>to avoid a spanking – except mind Tom, of course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As my lonely evening wore on I couldn’t stand it any longer. I called Tom. He answered on the first ring with, “Cassie, is that you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s me,” I managed in a shaky voice. “Tom, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I went out with Sue today and I’m sorry I was going to lie about it. And I’m really sorry I ran out on you. Will you forgive me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie, where are you? I just want you home. You know I’ll forgive you. Where are you? I’ll come get you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt such relief wash over me. “Tom, do you really forgive me? You’re not just saying that? You won’t spank me?” I knew if he said he wouldn’t then he wouldn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie,” his voice was worried, but it still sounded soothing to me, “you know I love you. When I say I’ll forgive you, you know I will. I’d forgive you anything. I want you to come home. We need to be together so we can talk this thing through.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was crying with relief. I started to speak when Tom continued, “But you need to know that when I do get hold of you I’m going to wear you out.” As badly as Tom wanted me home, he wouldn’t lie to me. He’d never try to trick me by saying there would be no spanking, then go back on his word.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“But… but…” I sputtered. I hated the phrase, <i>wear you out</i>. It always sent a shiver down my spine – still does. “I said I was sorry. I won’t do it again. I’ve learned my lesson, okay? There is no reason to spank me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie, you’ve said you’re sorry and I believe you. You can believe me when I tell you you’re forgiven, but neither of those things changes the consequences you have coming. Now where are you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“That’s not <i>fair</i>!” I shouted into the phone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom continued in his soothing voice. I wished what he was saying had been as soothing. “And why is it not fair? I told you straight up, before we were married that you were going to have to do as I said, and that lying would not be tolerated. And I made it quite clear that I would spank you for breaking my rules.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remembered that conversation only vaguely. He had said something about me calming down and listening to him, letting him keep me safe, never lying to him. I remember him saying something about spanking me. He had only spanked me once at that time, so I didn’t believe him for a minute. And besides, during that conversation I distinctly remember trying to take his shirt off and turn his mind to things other than a long lecture. My saying yes at that time, when my mind was on other things, shouldn’t have meant a thing. One should not be held to a contract agreed to under such circumstances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At that moment, as he talked to me on the phone, I wanted to be with him so badly. But I couldn’t make myself give in. I’m afraid it wasn’t the last time my stubbornness and self-destructive streak kept me from using my common sense. I slammed the phone down and cried myself to sleep.</span><span style="color: #0432ff;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

You can find part one, <a href="http://cassiesspace.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-runaway-part-one.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remembered Tom kissing me good-by the next morning, but with no particular reason to get up I had rolled over and snuggled down to sleep as late as I wanted. I had just dragged myself out of bed and had my coffee in hand when the phone rang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Get dressed. I won two free buffet luncheons at the casino last night. I’ll pick you up at noon. We’ll eat and spend the afternoon at the craps tables.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved the luncheons at the casino and at that time gambling was one of my favorite pastimes. Tom’s rules drove me crazy. But like a good girl I told Sue, “I can’t go. I’m exhausted, really. Tom wanted me to stay home today. Can’t we go tomorrow?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Exhausted, my ass. No, we can’t go tomorrow, the tickets are for today. Now get ready.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Okay, sure. I’ll go but we have to be home before five. Tom really didn’t want me going out today and he’s going to be ticked if he finds out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Fine, anything you want, but I have to tell you, you’re starting to pay way too much attention to what Tom says. You need to get over that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Easy for her to say. Back then, even more so than today, Tom spanked hard. Now there was no way on earth I was letting Sue know that. Although I liked to go out and have my fun, spankings were something I really wanted to avoid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I went, of course, and we had a wonderful time. I was even having a pretty good streak and won over seven hundred dollars that afternoon. We pulled into the driveway just before five. That was the earliest Tom got home. It was usually closer to six, but I still peeked into the garage with my heart pounding. Tom’s car wasn’t there and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sue came in and joined me for glass of wine. She quickly picked up a topic I really wanted to leave alone. “What’s with Tom anyway? Why would you be so worried if he knew you had gone out today? Are you some kind of prisoner or what?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s not that… well, I mean he worries when I get tired and crabby, so he told me to stay home. I usually don’t mind doing what he asks. Honest Sue, he’s the best man in the world, but… well, sometimes it’s hard doing everything he wants me to. I have to be creative. He wanted me to stay home. I wanted to go. I’ll tell him I stayed home – he’s happy. I got to go anyway – I’m happy. This way we both win.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“That’s not really the way I see it,” Tom said, coming out of the bedroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was as close to a coronary as I ever hope to be. I truly couldn’t speak. My heart lurched in my chest and I wasn’t able to make a sound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Where the hell did you come from?” Sue asked, seeing I was totally incapable of speech.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I had the car serviced this afternoon and they drove me home. I came home a little early to get to spend some time with Cassie. But she wasn’t here.” Tom hadn’t taken his eyes off me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Yeah, well, that’s my fault. I really needed her today. I had to talk her into it. Sorry. I didn’t know you were coming home so early.” Sue seemed to sense I needed saving, although at the time she didn’t know from what.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Cassie’s old enough to make her own choices,” Tom answered, still looking at me. “I don’t think she made a very good choice today.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Oh what’s the big friggin’ deal? We went to lunch – get over it,” Sue told him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“The big deal is,” Tom said, still not looking away, “I asked her to stay home and she said she would. Cassie, I’d like to speak with you alone. Would you wait in the bedroom while I show Sue out?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I still hadn’t regained the power of speech. Clutching my bag, I left the room without glancing at Sue. She was angry. “You’re sending her to her <i>room</i>? What is your problem?” Sue continued telling Tom what she thought of him for a few minutes before he was able to get her moving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom escorted her to the door even as she was speaking. Totally ignoring her rant, he said, “I’m sure Cassie will call you tomorrow. Give my best to Steve.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sue didn’t like the, ‘Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry’, routine, but finding herself outside, she stormed to her car and yanked open the door before turning back to Tom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Let me tell you one thing, you big jerk. Cassie’s been married to one asshole. I won’t see her in that situation again. If I ever find out you’ve lay one finger on her I’ll… I’ll…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“<i>Will you get your ass in this car and drive?</i>” I hissed from my hiding place in the back seat. I’d startled Sue nearly as badly as Tom had startled me earlier. But she recovered quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She looked back at Tom and spat out, “You’re an ass. You better have Cassie call me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sue waited until she turned the corner and was out of sight of the house before she spoke. “You scared the crap outta me! What are you doing?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Momentarily avoiding confrontation,” I answered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“So where we going?” Sue wanted to know. “My house?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“No, too close.” I closed down my mind. I didn’t want to imagine Tom coming into the bedroom and finding I had made a break for it. The open window wouldn’t leave much doubt. “Drive me to Westly,” I told Sue. “I think I need a hotel for a few nights.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<i><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "times"; font-size: 18pt;">I don’t think so. Even in play Tom usually concentrates on only one or two implements at the time.</span></i><i><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "times"; font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "times"; font-size: 18pt;">No. Occasionally Tom will intentionally leave the bedroom door open when we have guest. It he’s determine to make a particular point. But unfortunately, those noises aren’t ‘weird’ to our family.</span></i><i><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "times"; font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">If I tried to tell you everything going on at the river these days you probably wouldn't believe it. But I've missed posting and I thought you might enjoy this.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Runaway<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do have a wonderful life and I give Tom all the credit for making our lives so good. There are times, though, when I let my mind wander back to our early marriage. I had more bad habits than you could shake a stick at, but I suppose the worst was running away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I was only gone a short time, but there were times I evaded him for a week or more. I don’t think there are many things I have ever done that have made him any madder. I’m afraid some of the stories are pretty dark – it was a bad time, but some strike me as funny now. Not that I would <i>ever </i>tell Tom that. And, truly, there are parts of my anatomy that thought all those incidents were dark and scary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before we were married, back when I was a wild-child, I needed constant activity. During the day we had brunches, shopping trips, visits to the casino – this, of course, was before the infamous cruise. I attended luncheons, club meetings, afternoon teas, dinner and dancing and sometimes all-night parties. I just had to be doing something. Stopping and having time to think about my life was something I didn’t like and tried to avoid. I was better after we married, but old habits die hard. When Tom was working, I had to be on the go. Often this swirl of activity was too much for too long and I would become exhausted and quite ill-tempered and snappish with Tom in the evenings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tom, of course, would only put up with this for so long before he put his foot down. Sometimes he would take off work and spend the day at home with me. Those times were wonderful. He would pamper me and I loved the resting and relaxation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There came one evening when I arrived home after Tom, something he didn’t like to begin with. I was exhausted. I think I came in biting Tom’s head off about something. I was just on a tear. Tom took all he was going to take. “Cassie, I know you’re tired. And I know why you’re tired. All this running around is going to stop. I don’t want you leaving this house tomorrow. You’re going to stay home and rest. We’ll see about the next day, but I’m not putting up with your attitude any longer.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I’ll do as I damn well please,” I flared. “Not you or anyone else is going to tell me when I may come and go. Stay the hell out of my business.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know, I know, feel free to groan at this point. It’s just possible I may have had a bit too much to drink that afternoon. But in my defense, we hadn’t been married a year. If I managed to go a few weeks with no spanking, I tended to forget exactly what it was like and I reverted to my old self. Unfortunately for me, Tom was his old self too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got about three swats with his hand before he realized I was wearing a girdle. Rather than try to wrestle it off at the moment he quickly pulled me into the kitchen and laid into my latex encased bottom with a wooden spoon. He was burning me up with that thing, hard and fast and no let up. I was yelling, but managed not to cuss while doing it. I was much more compliant when he was finished. So when he told me to get ready for bed, I didn’t argue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That darn girdle retained the heat from the spanking to the point of cruelty. Yet taking the horribly tight thing off was a punishment in itself. Young women today have no idea how awful it was to have to wear those things. I finally freed myself from its evil clutches and angrily threw it in the bedroom trashcan. Tom walked in then with my supper on a tray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“That’s the perfect place for that thing,” Tom said, glancing at my discarded foundation garment. “I hate when you wear that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s not like I want to wear one, you know,” I fussed. “I’m just trying to look good for you most of the time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I’ve seen you without one on occasion and I found you quite appealing,” he told me with a smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I slipped on my gown and curled up on the bed. Tom had brought me a light supper. He sat the tray on the bed and turned serious. “Cassie, your attitude this evening is a perfect example of what I’ve been telling you. You do too much. You get tired and ill-tempered and I’m not putting up with it. Now you’re not to leave this house tomorrow. Do I make myself clear?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn’t like it one bit. I felt like a child being grounded. I tried to get a little leeway as I ate. “I’m sorry I was so ugly when I got home. I’ll cut back honey, honest I will. But I don’t like not being able to come and go as I please. Couldn’t you stay home with me tomorrow?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We have people coming in from out of state and I have to be at work tomorrow. But you’d better listen to me girl.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Fine!” I snapped. “But I don’t like it. You’re not being fair.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I’m not asking you to like it. But I’m telling you to mind me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It annoyed the devil out of me when he told me to ‘mind’, but I didn’t say anymore. I had every intention of acquiescing to Tom’s wishes. At least that was the plan until Sue called.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve thought for several years
now that I want to return to blogging. Most of the friends I met when I first
began have moved on to other endeavors. But as I’ve lurked and talked to some
out here, I know there are fine folks here now. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I first began blogging, I
was trying to fill long lonely hours while Tom was working and I was delighted
when I found other women who lived the lifestyle Tom and I had shared for so
long. Back then I only got to see Sue and Annie a few times a year. Ryan was
just a dear boy who took care of our lawn. Much of the time I was lonely. But
God showered us with abundant blessings and these days ‘lonely’ is a feeling I
can barely remember.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone came here for
Thanksgiving this year! The only ‘family members’ missing were Cal and
Jenny. They were at his folks. Since
Jenny has no contact with her parents – thank goodness, I have claimed her as
my own. Cal has to deal with me as a mother-in-law and you can all imagine how
he loves that!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sixteen sat down at our
extended table. Lily and Allie acted as chefs with Drew and Jackson training as
sous chefs. Drew is Allie’s ‘little’ brother – he stands at six feet seven
inches! He began dating Henry’s son, Jackson, several months ago and they both
seem very happy. Henry’s daughter Lacey, pitched in wherever she was needed.
She’s recently begun dating a fine young man and he joined us also. We were so
happy that Chris and Kate, Allie and Drew’s parents, flew in from London. But
having one more ‘mother’ at the gathering finally caused Allie to have a small
blow up.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had finished our lovely meal
and Allie and Lacey were bringing the desserts to the table. Kate leaned in to
whisper something to Annie and then they both looked up at Allie. I saw Allie stop in her tracks and set the two pies
she was carrying onto the island. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Alright, I’ve had enough! It’s
time we all had a ‘Come to Jesus Meeting!’” I inwardly smiled at her use of one
of Lily’s favorite sayings. Lily used it when she was particularly upset with
something Sue and I had done. But I had no idea what Allie was talking about.
She soon let us know.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I’m sick of the looks, the
whispers, the questions you can’t quite bring yourselves to ask. I feel it
every time I say I’m tired, every time I turn down a glass of wine, every time
I say I’ve gained a few pounds and every time I say something about not feeling
well.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Every time one of those things
happens, everyone around gets the little light in their eyes, that hopeful look
on their face then immediately looks at my stomach.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I am <i>not</i> pregnant! I am intentionally trying <i>not</i> to get pregnant. And you people and your hopes and dreams and
speculations are driving me crazy!”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We all sat a little stunned,
although I’m sure each of us would have had to admit the truth in her
accusations. Allie finally gave us a little smile as she went over and put her
arms around her mother’s neck. “I know how much you are all looking forward to
grandchildren. And Ryan and I have every intention of giving them to you – but
in our time, not yours. Give me a break. I’m barely twenty-three. You act like
we’re going to sneak off and have an baby in secret. When we get pregnant,
we’ll let you all in on it – I swear. But please, please stop speculating every
time you see me!”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those of us around the table
gave somewhat of a collective sigh. She was right and several of us began to
apologize. Sue, however, was true to form when she piped up and said, “You sure
you’re not pregnant? You sound pretty hormonal to me.” That got us all laughing
and with a deep eye-roll Allie and Lacey got back to serving dessert.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later that afternoon I happened
to see Allie on the deck alone and joined her. “Have we really been that bad,
honey?” I asked her.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She sighed, “Yes, Mom, you’ve
really been that bad. And it’s not just you wanna-be grandmas either. Tom,
Steve, Andy and my dad are nearly as bad.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I nodded as I chuckled. It was
true, Tom and I often spoke about a potential grandchild and he was every bit
as enthusiastic as I. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I don’t know what we’re going
to do with y’all when we <i>do </i>have a
baby. We may have to move away to keep the kid from being spoiled rotten by
more grandparents than we can hold back.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I gave her a stricken look and
she quickly put her arm around me. “Mom! I’m kidding. We’d never leave the
river and all of you. You can spoil our child as much as you want – with your
time. But if we didn’t rein you guys in, the poor kid would have a bike, a
motorcycle, a pool, a puppy and a pony before he was a year old!”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sighed and nodded at her. She
wasn’t wrong. “Cassie, you’re going to be the best grandma in the world. You
should have a dozen grandchildren. But I’m afraid I just can’t do that for you.
Can you settle for one or two.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Oh, you know I can!” I told
her with a big smile. Little did either of us know at the time, that indeed, in
the future I was to be the grandmother of an even dozen.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I’m backing off. No more
pushing for Allie and Ryan to have a baby right this minute. But I do want to
be able to be nimble enough to get on the floor to play with the child when he
or she comes. And I’m not getting any younger! But I’ll quit pushing. Maybe.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think that if I'm going to come back and post a little
more often, I need to reintroduce myself to any new readers. There are ten books
in the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cassies-Space-10-Book-Series/dp/B077MPZ3BH/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1542910624&sr=8-15&keywords=Cassie%27s+Space+Series">Cassie’s Space series </a>now. I’m certainly not able to fill you in on all the
details, but this is the introduction from the tenth book and tell you a little
about all of us now.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">I was widowed
early when my first husband died unexpectedly of a heart attack in his forties.
He was twenty years my senior, and the marriage had not been a happy one. With
his death, I was suddenly both wealthy and free. I immediately cut ties with my
parents, who had forced me into that marriage, and began partying like there
was no tomorrow. This went on for nearly five years. I suppose the only thing
that kept me from flying off the earth was my friendship with my best friends,
Sue and Annie, and their husbands.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">Even these dear
friends were having a hard time keeping me together until my wonderful Tom came
into the picture. Tom fell in love with me almost the moment he saw me. I had
done nothing in my life to deserve this wonderful man, but I was blessed with
him anyway. We married after a brief courtship and with his love and stabilizing
influence, I not only survived that turbulent time, but have thrived under his
loving attention for forty years.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">I could easily
paint Tom as perfect, but he does have a few annoying traits. He’s bossy. He’s
domineering and he’s terribly old-fashioned. I can’t say I didn’t know this
when we were first married. Perhaps I didn’t realize the degree to which these
traits molded him, but I certainly knew they were there. I’m not complaining.
When you weigh the good against the bad, there is no contest. As I said, he’s
not perfect, but he’s perfect for me.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">For a good part
of our early marriage we spent most of our time alone. We visited with friends
often and traveled with them, but our day-to-day time was spent with each
other. I was completely fine with that. Talking with Tom was, and still is,
something I cherish. I think he was the first person to ever listen to me and
he still does to this day. That continues to amaze me. However, as we’ve gotten
older we’ve realized the joy of living close to our friends. They’re more
family than friends and now that we live close, neighbors actually, those long
times where it’s just the two of us are but a fond memory.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">Although she is
the newest member of the family, Lily is the one who keeps us all straight
these days. Lily came to us last year to care for Sue when she was ill. My
description of Lily, as well as my feelings for her, often change drastically,
sometimes on an hourly basis. She’s a woman of color, in her early forties and
the most energetic person I know. Within weeks she was indispensable to us all.
She can be the sweetest, most loving, nurturing woman anyone could ever find.
Then the next minute she is the most bossy, annoying, strict, opinionated
busybody that ever drew breath.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">Technically, all
three families employ her and she cooks and cleans for us all on a rotating
basis. But Lily seems to have a bit of trouble remembering that she’s not the
boss. She lives in Annie and Andy’s mother-in-law apartment and Lily thinks
Annie can do no wrong. She harbors no such illusions about Sue and me. She does
her best to keep us out of trouble and we do make her earn her money in that
respect. And for all my griping and complaining, we all love Lily dearly and I
know she loves us right back.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #0432ff;">Sue and Steve
moved here three years ago and Annie and Andy just six months ago. We all love
spending a lot of time together. But these two wonderful couples aren’t the
only family we have. Tom and I legally adopted Ryan just as he graduated from
college. That’s the best time to adopt. We managed to miss the terrible twos,
as well as much of the teen angst. One of my greatest joys is introducing him
as our son after he had been just a dear young friend for six years. One of the
finest things my son has ever done for us is marrying another friend of mine
just a short time ago. Sweet Allie was our sixteen-year-old neighbor when we
moved to the river five years ago. Now Sue, Annie and I have been friends for
nearly fifty years, but Allie fit in with us old broads like a missing puzzle
piece and we all love her dearly.</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I think this gives you the basics. I
hope you’ll come by as I occasionally update what’s going on here at the river
and maybe tell a few old stories from the past.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I know, I know – I have no right whatsoever to be here. But when
has something like that ever stopped me? It’s been a full year since I posted
here and would you believe that I still have lurkers?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I wasn’t going to post this year, but new and interesting
ideas have come to mind. PK is asking for more stories. Will I be doing another
book? Who knows, but I do still have more to say. I wouldn’t be posting often,
heaven knows. But it has certainly</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> piqued my interest.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I’ve enjoyed doing the books. I hope some of you will read
them if you haven’t. They have recently been re-edited but we’re still waiting
for Blushing to send these newly edited copies to Amazon so that you can
up-date your Kindle to the better edited version or if the books are new to you and you’d
like to try them I hope to have these better edited one ready for you soon. They
may even be coming out in paperback. Of course I’ve been hoping this for several
months now, so…</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I’m using Love our Lurkers Day as a way of asking if you’d
be willing to drop by if I do start posting a little again. It’s not going to
be wildly exciting every time, but Tom and I did have a lovely second honeymoon
and things are always hopping here at the river. All the family is well. Hopefully
you’ll be hearing from everyone soon.</span></span><br />

lately, however. I haven’t been here as much as I would like to be. As I am
sure Tom would be delighted to tell you I am a creature who craves attention

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Now you all know I can't pass up a good meme. I don't get to post my stories here much anymore, but I can keep up a little this way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Who’s the oldest?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">I’m older than
Tom by three and a half years. I’ve been embarrassed about this most of our
married life, but it’s true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Who was interested first?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">I’d have to say
Tom, because I didn’t see him the first time he saw me. But the next weekend,
when I saw him I knew I wanted him!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Same high school?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">No<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Most sensitive?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Probably me,
but Tom is a sensitive soul too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Worse temper?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Tom is the soul
of patients, so I guess I’d have to say me – but I don’t really think I have a
temper, I just get annoyed at times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 207.2pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">More
social?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 207.2pt;">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">We’re both very social, but I probably win out by a bit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 207.2pt;">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">More stubborn?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Tom! Definitely
Tom on this one!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Wakes up first?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Always Tom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Bigger family?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Me, I had one
brother. Never really considered him family, but Tom had no siblings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Flowers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Yes! I love
them and Tom sends them fairly often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Cooks the most?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Well I can tell
you it’s certainly not me! Tom and Lily share cooking duties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Cries more? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">That would be
me. I’ve seem Tom cry very few time in our marriage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Better singer?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Tom, he has a
beautiful voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Said I love you first?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">It was Tom and
I didn’t believe him for a minute. I wasn’t sure back then that true love
existed. He has since convinced me that it exists indeed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Better driver?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">I am a
perfectly fine driver, but I’ll give this one to Tom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Hogs the remote?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0432ff; font-size: 16.0pt;">Neither, but
Tom usually has it if we watch TV together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Clothes and shoe hoarder?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not be over stating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I know you have many places to stop by today and I’m delighted to
be one of your stops.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">I realize my blog
is different from most and perhaps a little off the norm, but I still love visitors
and I still try my best to answer every comment. Should you by chance have a
question for me or Tom or Sue or Lily or any of us feel free to ask and I
promise to get back to you.</span><br />
