“Hey Harry! You better hurry up! The kid with the bug catcher toy is coming out in the yard any minute! We look pretty easy to find since we’re up off the ground like this. His mom bought him a magnifying glass too!”

“Yeah, I hear you! Kids usually don’t play in the yard, at least not without a cell phone taped to their eyeballs, heh, heh, heh. But this little guy is a curious sort, and we have to admire that. But hey, the snacks higher up are more tasty, don’t you think? And no need to find water, it’s provided…”

Snap went the plastic cap on the bug catching jar.

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 06/02/2026

Number four:

Walking barefoot on hard packed dirt roads which made a slap sound.

Wading in endless brooks.

Making mug dams in the brooks.

Walking in wet green grass with those bare feet.

Swinging on old wood swing from oak tree.

Climbing trees to shoot peashooters on cousins.

Picking strawberries from a wild patch way up in the meadow.

Jumping in hay in the barn.

Something blue secretly in your eyes

While stealing my sixpence wasn’t wise

I refuse something borrowed since hearing your lies

Something new instead would be my advice.

I listened to the songs on YouTube that fit this theme and I can’t stand any of them! Even Jimmy Buffet! Sorry, no report.

Celebrating International Burger Day

Sitting alone on her bed, fingers digging into the quilts, Susan felt a chill that wouldn’t stop. The cold atmosphere kindled a spin into her guilt, she was a murderer. Until David stopped his ghostly specter, appearing and softly waning into her nighttime sleep, Susan would not know any peace. Though he returned each night, David’s death was the risk she took. That was not a differing fact, she had indeed killed him.

I think my favorite type of posts include humor. I like to make a good story and hope people enjoy it, but some days it’s hard to find the humor in anything. We will still keep trying!👍🏻😀

Sunday Poser # 288- Favorite posts

“Ok, let’s just put our cards on the table.”

“Ok, fine by me. Are you going to marry her or not?”

“Jeez Joe, when I said that, I meant are you going to tell me the rules or what?”

“Rules? You mean like no “overnights” till you’ve said the words?”

“What words?”

“Oh my god, get out of my house, now!”

MLMM Wordle #158 – Misconception

In the corridor’s background the parallel moving walkways spill out their passengers at an even pace.  Having the obvious tendency of never stopping, the even flow insights a desire to step on, as I have, so many times in my life.  A constant smooth ride with no help except the never ending conveyor belt underneath my feet–no effort is made on my part, I just watch from here as the nerve of the world hurries by.  They must have goal oriented destinations in mind.  

They may be living a Mar de coucou life, never revealing themselves completely to anyone, not divulging their inner wishes or strong feelings about even the most remote subject.  Please don’t be surprised by their outwardly mundane appearances.  If they spoke Golem’s Truth and you believed them, you might even be disappointed.

You may live life as I do, in the constant concept of ordinariness, never being seen as extreme, or with extraordinary feelings of a vibrant life.  You may even be awestruck by the seemingly simple, uneventful life I lead.  How is it possible to lead this “grey” life?  In the end, it is all smoke and mirrors.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — May 29th

Margie blew as hard as she could. The bubbles floated across the pavement and the activity was to keep her entertained while her big sisters and mommy shopped. Shopping trips were long and boring for a four year old and Margie’s nanny always had something planned to keep her busy. The limousine driver Mark, also helped, but Margie and her nanny sat on a park bench for blowing bubbles. After the magic of watching beautiful bubbles was over, Margie, Miss Sue, and Mark sat back in the car for ice cream cones. Margie had a perfect day of “shopping”.
