Checks

Today I wrote check #3 on my vacation account. This check was for a tee shirt to be worn at the FMO retreat. Check #2 was for a tee shirt to be worn at a FMO retreat. Check #1, however, is the one that stares me in the face on the rare occasion that I open the book. Check #1 was for $50.00 and was written out to Barbara Smith. On this check she has no titles, no terms of endearment, no silly names and no written words of either love or respect. Just cut & dry, plain ole check. Barbara Smith. This fact bothers me to no end so I have now adorned this regular looking carbon copy check that is left in my checkbook on page one to stare me in the eyes every time I open the book. Now I have written Turtle Dove and Superhero and Momma B and even Mary Ellen. I am looking for a couple turtle stickers to further beautify this plain page that just doesn't do our Barbara Smith justice.
