Here are this week’s questions:

1.  What kind of challenges in WordPress do you prefer? I like them all, especially the multi words.
2.  If you were to host a challenge, what would it be? I can’t host, I don’t have a computer, but probably a multi word or poetry form
3.  Do you miss the ‘Awards’ posts that were very popular years ago? Not really
4. Do you think they were a good way to grow your blog followers and get you recognised? In the beginning I used my awards as a way to promote other blogs. Then it got to be too much and questions repetitive.
5. Gratitude: Another safe trip to Spearfish, so all’s well.

Share Your World 14th July

Jane’s daughter could be disappointing at times, like today…Jane thought she had designed the perfect room for Judy, her daughter. It even had a small space just for reading quietly. Judy took one look and inconsiderately described the room as cramped and not suitable for her “grownup”needs. Judy overlooked the fact her mother put so much work into the bedroom and turned on her noisy headphones, acting like an overgrown three year old.

Monday Poetry Prompt: Relinquish

Henry had tons of allergies

Wasn’t a day without a sneeze

One day sneezed so hard

His air mowed his yard

Now he does the yard work with ease.

***

Julia was dressed up to please

The skirt barely covered her knees

Her beau was enamored

Too bad he’s not armored

She blew him away when she sneezed!

Such a fun word to use👍🏻😀

Holding the quickly disappearing bouquet, the astronaut places it on the cracked stone plaque. It was a murder of course, the way the earth inhabitants ignored scientists and let their home be destroyed. Now even a momentary visit is toxic because planet earth itself continues to be desiccated.

Weekly Writing Prompt

Sue’s last mission, a piece of history, drew a laugh to her face as she tried to report findings. “Only a man of experience can explain a space walk. You were a chess piece for the government.”

“True”, said a fellow astronaut. There were murmurs brewing from some female participants, and they finally raised their fists to fire back at the males in the room.

“We as women are as capable as any of you, and that thinking we are tokens of the government is rude and uncalled for!”

Sue stood defiant and looked to her superiors for help, even though they also were men.

None came.

Wordle 714

The couple next door always having a row, makes me tired of hearing it. They argue and yell and pretty soon clunk! One of them lands on the floor. I know because I live in the apartment under them and someone is landing heavily. I have learned to expect this but it still makes me jump, spill my drink and cause a mess. I guess next time I start to hear them, I’ll get a taxi and go to the cinema!

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

The marching band teacher was getting very frustrated with the freshman playing a drum. He couldn’t seem to play and march at the same time. The young man’s marching buddies were chatting, saying they needed to dump the dumb freshman. The teacher, though reaching his limit, told the older boys to stop, that they were all in that place a couple of years before.

Three Things Challenge #MM118

Trying to find something to watch on tv, tired of news on a tablet, decided to read more and finish my latest book choice. V E Schwab’s “Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil”. Schwab is known for much but “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” probably you have heard of it. So far my favorite book of Schwab’s is “A Darker Shade of Magic”. It was an intoxicating read! Check out her books, you won’t be disappointed.
