The Smoky Corridor

Judy and George sat in the TV room.

George flipped through sixteen channels, then paused on a college football game before clicking forward another sixteen channels.

He handed the remote to Judy who flipped back through thirty-two channels.

“I miss Zack and Zipper,” she said.

“Me too,” said George.

“You want to take them lunch?”

“Yeah. We could pick up a couple pizzas. Swing by the cemetery. Surprise everybody!”

“Excellent!” Judy zapped off the TV. “But no pepperoni for Zipper.”

“Right. No pepperoni for the dog.”

“He gets gassy, George.”

“I know. Besides, he prefers sausage.”

Judy laughed and scooped up her keys.

This would be fun! A pizza picnic and maybe she could do her own grave rubbing. Later they’d take the kids to the Olde Mill for cold cider and hot doughnuts.

It’d be a perfect October Saturday!
