Nine pm and a loud knock on the door. Checked my email, nothing from Amazon showing a picture of a delivery, but I heard the person get back in their car and drive away. So I cautiously opened the door and there was a white soft envelope containing one of the gifts for my soon to be 18 year old grandson.

Making a short story long, it has been very windy and gusting through the nights so everything seems colder than it actually is. The funny thing I wanted to tell you is that when I opened the door I heard this sound and it was exactly the sound of wind you hear in a movie soundtrack on a snowy mountain top disaster. Actual whistling– and it made me smile.

So that’s it, just thought I’d share a sound that stirs the imagination on a Monday night.

How easily time

Slips by in moments of years

Today’s yesterday

Retiring to his secret lair at Maralago, Donald smoothed his hand over the skull, revelling in his talent to oscillate between his prime followers and the general public, saying whatever appealed to a particular group. No one knew of the private collection that fed his evil doings, but the book of spells to insure their loyalty was the key.

“Argo”, is a movie starring Ben Affleck and a host of character actors I’ve liked for a long time. A story based on true events and real people and worth your time. Personal note: It was before the Shah was overthrown that my husband and our family were going to be transferred to Tehran for two years minimum, and then cancelled. Someone was watching over us. Please watch the credits.

This is my look after taking all the word prompts and writing a story to post using them and then finding an appropriate photo to accompany my words and then suddenly the whole works disappears. 😳😱🙄🥴

I used all the prompts in one post in order not to flood the reader and put this lovely picture on it and then poof, it disappeared. I looked in drafts and there were old ones I had redone and published and who else is tired of the three steps it takes to delete an already trashed post and why can’t you delete them all at once instead of one at a time? By now you see I am frustrated at WP again.

So here is the pic and I’ll just let you use your imagination with today’s prompts.

She stared into the marvel of depth in the canyon. The river had morphed into a pit of blue ice, as the beauty of the wintery climate no longer deceived the eye. She decided to forego the hike, as the consequences seemed too dangerous.

I don’t know but I’ve been told

Texting calls get really old

Repeating every word

Your own voice is never heard

Stop these calls, stop them now

Only wish I knew how

Sound off, 12, sound off 34, sound off 12-34!

Each movement of the ballerina was calculated to ensure her claim of extreme talent at the audition. It was however, dubious, as she failed to calculate the area of the stage and made an eventful grand jete’ into the orchestra pit.
