“Guest post on my blog?” I asked hopefully.
My head in her hands, she whispered. The words warm with love and gentle as a summer breeze, “Peanut butter toast, Grandma Betty, August 3rd, Lasagna, Amelia Earhart, shrubbery, Dorothy, garden tomatoes, keys, Irish Whiskey and Anastasia.”
Each word a story unto itself of our shared lives.

I think you needed more than 55 to develop this
Happy 55 and thanks for visiting mine already
As always, you leave me wanting to hear the whole story and then some.
55 words to ponder...
MM....
Shrubbery and Anastasia in the same paragraph?
This is a family Blog!!
Excellent 55 Oh Cryptic One...
I'm sure it's much deeper than it appears..
Have a Kick Ass Week-End
What a wonderful 55 full of mystery.
PG
A few of her favourite things...?
Great 55!
amazing how mere words can ring wiht so much memories...nicely done monkey. that is a guest post and much more. smiles.
Shrubbery is near and dear to me in a Monty Python kinda way.
that's just sweeter than tupelo honey and a perfect way to end a week---here's to hearing more about that story---kudos monkey man
This is really cool and unique. Nice!
Great 55, MM. Those words tell such a story, and leave us all wanting more.
People + things = memories!. All these images are like keys to old kingdoms - including the keys. Interesting piece!
there seems so much more to this !! interesting :)
Nice 55! Have a great weekend. :-)
Family names and dialogue! I love it - it brings back such sweet memories!
Love 55 I am a fan now for sure!
You leave a lot of questions in this one.
That's what writing should do.
intriguing.
Funny how a single word can be a story in itself. Nice job. Speaking of garden tomatoes, we picked our first ones yesterday!
Did somebody say 'Irish Whiskey'?
(I'd like to hear a few chapters of THAT story!)
Nice 55, MM!
I like your shared lives 55 - sounds like an interesting combination.. ;=9 - but I would die for a peanut butter toast right now..!
Hmnmm I'd love to read more about this. Very intriguing. Filled with lots of love :) Excellent. Have a wonderful Friday :)
I hope future 55's will be a sharing of this wonderful collection of words. A very unique 55 Monkey Man!
Will you be sharing some of those stories with us? Nice job getting me curious. And thanks for your visit to Life is Good. Appreciate it!
soft and beautiful.
well done.
wonderfully compressed!
I love it, the secret stories, the language shared from a life shared. So very romantic.
Tea you have to include cups of tea and the unsaid emotions as it handed over. Sadly, my evil employer expects me to work occasionally for my wages and this week has meant a whole lot of lobbying, prize-giving, speech-making, and back-room politicking - oh and lots of trains and planes. So thanks for dropping by and the comments. I would add that the story has no reference to anyone I know - living or dead. And that mean my wife...because she reads the blog.
Ah what our imagination can do with those words! You leave us wondering. ;)
This was *beautiful*, MM. I don't even need to hear the stories...just knowing they exist is kind of the point, right?
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on mine as well (even if I did sort of gross you out a little bit, lol!)

I love how one word can tell an entire story between two people. :)
Nicely done!
Life links in strange ways!
Oh, I love this. So....do we get to hear the rest of the story?
