for the Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Alternative.
.
I’m about to make the biggest decision of my life so I need a plan of action.
I’ll have to buy a diamond ring, but should it be flashy, sophisticated or understated?
Then where to do it, should it be in a smart restaurant, somewhere in the countryside or in the pub on a busy night?
The most popular way to propose must be by going down on one knee, but I might have difficulty getting up again so I’ll have to consider some alternative methods.
As for when, that’s a difficult one and will depend on when I can spare the time.
That just leaves the most important question of all, should the lucky lady be Jane or Mary or Sally or Maggie or … ?
Thanks to GirlieOnTheEdge for hosting.

I hope you were able to figure it out 🤭
Jane…Mary…Sally…Maggie.. Sounds like you live in a seniors’ complex. 🙂 Yeah, definitely go easy on the old knees.
If the choice is difficult, be practical: marry the lady with the most congenial offspring, the ones you want to spend time with.
Now that’s a very good idea! I’ll interview their families then decide! As for the senior’s complex, how very dare you!
Whoops! my bad. 🙁
Actually, I’m looking forward to living in a seniors’ complex. I can visit, play Scrabble and do jigsaw puzzles all day. 😉 The stairs are great exercise, too — unless the elevator fails when you have four bags of groceries to carry up. 🙂
I’ve got 60 steps and no elevator to my flat now, so I do my shopping a bit at a time!
