3TC+ Crazy Couture

The neophyte model shyly peeked out of the draped curtain to assess the vibe of the audience—a coterie of specialized high priced store owners. Every woman and man seated could be a fashion plate for the next issue of “Vogue”. As the emcee stepped onto the platform to give his welcoming speech, the camera flashes could have made you blind!

Your Daily Word Prompt – #Coterie- #YDWordPrompt September 7 2023

Excerpt from Robert Reich

NO LABELS, NO FABLES, NO THIRD-PARTY BETRAYALS

“If Trump wins the GOP nomination for president, as seems highly likely despite (or because of) his coming trials, all Americans who believe in democracy must unite behind Joe Biden — to ensure that Trump, in the words of then-Rep. Liz Cheney, “never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.”

Entering the unusual house with more than odd occupants, feeling confident which quickly subsided,

There was a sight feeling of destiny as his stiffly minded consciousness started to melt. What was this place and why did he feel compelled to visit?

Creatures as yet unknown to him, curiously eyed the newcomer, yet he felt somehow already known.

Fantasy beckons him, he whose life resembles an unending assembly line, is now experiencing something unusual, something enticing and excitingly new.

Should he turn away or let the spirit of the house win him over, or can it? Linus steps inside and may find adventure or disappointment, but indeed a challenge and we all need challenges in life.

I have no idea if this is what you are looking for in the prompt. The book I refer to is “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by T.J. Klune.

Simply Six Minutes

“Oh Pearl, did you hear? Junie just found out she’s getting a baby brother! Oh you bet she is, jealous already! And Roger, is completely potty trained, can you believe it? I can’t see that happening anytime soon for me—I heard mommy saying I’m a late starter. Daddy and mommy are going out again tonight. You know what that means—Maura the horror is coming to babysit. Remember last time when I woke up to see her just standing and staring at me in my crib? Oh, gotta go, mom’s coming and she doesn’t let me use the phone.

It’s National Read A Book Day…whatcha’ reading? What’s a book you want to read? I am reading “Alone at Dawn” : “Medal of Honor Recipient John Chapman and the Untold Story of the World’s Deadliest Special Operations Force. Book by Dan Schilling and Lori Longfritz” — Goodreads

Which is better…having high expectations or low expectations? Explain why. Always expect the best!

Serenity is being with my family.

What’s the most interesting thing in your purse or pocket right now? I never wear anything with pockets except a sweater in the cold. I don’t carry a purse – a backpack only that probably the most interesting thing is a pack of Mamba Fruit Chews.

What helps you calm down? Reading

Autumn is coming🍁my favorite!

Take a walk with me in the Colorado sunshine
along the dry grassy shoreline
strewn with sweet scented yellow flowers
I could even stand here for hours
rushing river water capped white
red rocky cliffs in my sight
bright blue and white canopy viewed
stuff for inviting poems I can construe.

Take a Walk with Me!
