One Liner Wednesday
Author: rugby843
I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Not looking closely, Marci grabbed the bouquet and pulled it to her chest, nearly squashing the roses. She knew it, hoped it, dreamed and even wished it—he loved her. Now here was the proof! She quickly took a couple of dollars from her purse on the sideboard and tipped the delivery man. He spied her quizzically thinking she had better take a better look at the flowers, but shrugged and left.
Marci just held the roses against her taking in the beautiful scent, of course he knew her favorites. He had been too distant lately and hopes were dwindling, but now? This gift? She almost swooned she was so enraptured.
It was only later while disassembling the bouquet, she saw the odd looking one, and being over excited earlier, promptly fainted.
MLMM Photo Challenge
Glass containers hold them all
Treats that cause diet dreams to fall
A bad nightmare remedy
Does not involve a cup of tea
Dry toast’s better with sugared jam
Maple syrup with your ham
And bravery shown after a bottle of gin
While dancing wildly with your kin
All these bottles, jars and such
Make everything a tastier bunch.

Word Craft Poetry
This week’s challenge is a photo prompt. This year, I’ve asked my friend, and photographer, Terri Webster Schrandt, from secondwindleisure.com to share her photos with us for inspiration. Terri runs a weekly photo challenge called Sunday Stills. Check it out HERE.
bright as if played in a dream
mist rising, now done
moving on to other streams

dVerse Poets Quadrille – Gasp
Where dirt and gravel lack
Snow carpeting everywhere
In forested landscapes there
Small hands, mittened warmth
Boots heated at the hearth
Adventures were on her mind
Wearing coat heavily lined
Wishing to see the deer again,
Suddenly, a gasp!

Classic Song Beginnings
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
See, my old man’s got a problem
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for working
His body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
So I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me’d find it
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

- Does your spouse/partner (or do you) help with the household chores? When I had one, no.
- What is your least favourite chore? Vacuuming
3. As a kid, did you have to do chores to earn your pocket money/allowance? My grandfather gave me a dime to spend if I went with him to the store.
4. Did you save any of your pocket money or spend it all? It’s not easy to save one dime😂

Fashion Fauxpa
“Far be it for me,” she said as if it a fluke
“I don’t mean to be harsh”, but keeps on the rebuke
“If you chose a much better style of dress
It would stay flat and even without such a mess
Prove a beneficiary to your body type, I’m sure
Straight cotton fabric might chafe, I agree, but still show some allure.”

“What’s all that racket out there? The basketball court is for practice for your games. It has official points’ lines drawn even for a backhanded drop and a scoreboard. You know I love to watch you play, and there’s not a single time that I don’t enjoy watching you dribble the ball down the court. Of course, the string netting on the hoop needs to be replaced but that’s not your fault. Now double time it over to that sporting goods store and get a replacement.”
