Hidyho! Sun is shining, 36F degrees and I have new upstairs neighbors! They moved in Saturday and I already like them. They are normal – hope I’m not jinxing anything! Another March week gone, time is passing fast. I’ve been sleeping better, so most everything is all right with the world.

Ceenphotography.com has new questions for us this week. She has an endless capacity for coming up with them! Check out her blog site. She’s more than just a pretty face….😉

1. Favorite color of hair? I have red hair, grown to appreciate it, like it, my best feature and still get compliments on it. However, as a child I hated it, being called carrot top, red, etc….I wanted raven black hair that shown blue highlights in the sun, or was that just in books?

2. Five things I’m good at…hmmm. 1. Speaking my mind🙄, sometimes at the wrong moment. 2. Smiling 3. Laughing 4. Talking😳 5. Listening

3. I have many animal favorites. Large dogs, wolves, horses, cows, large cats. Not really into reptiles.

This week I have to appreciate my grandson again, well actually, it’s every day of every week, but the new soccer season started and he’s great at it, #4.

Scarlett didn’t comprehend the ramifications of her fib to Rhett, acting verbally uninterested, but fluttering her long eyelashes at the same time. He noticed the wide vee in her neckline and decided to overtake her in the ballroom. After a sumptuous waltz and the obvious attraction, he decided to plunge into a new relationship.

I was just laying here, trying to sleep. Does your mind wander at that time like mine? I usually have to smile about something, giggle if I think it’s a good story, or cry, thinking of something upsetting. Tonight is a good one, so thought I’d share it with you.

My first day going to the VA for volunteering, I took the curb to curb bus. They come to your door or lot, and load you on one of those mechanical ramps. It was my first excursion here in WY with the scooter. As I left my apartment I didn’t notice the missing sidewalk piece because it was covered in snow. I see the bus waiting. I turned the corner, the scooter tire went into the hole of the sidewalk and tipped over. Go on, laugh, it was a funny sight I’m sure. You know those cartoons where you see something going along and it disappears? Well that’s what the bus driver saw. He saw me and then I was gone. Luckily he had no other passengers and came to investigate.

I was laying on snow and gravel on the side of the walk. I couldn’t get up, was soaking wet already. The driver was a very slight man. I could see he was hesitant to lift me. I had to laugh as he was trying to help. We finally got me up on the scooter seat. I don’t know if he noticed my backside had gravel stuck to my coat. Maybe he did and didn’t want to embarrass me or was afraid to brush it off. Nevertheless I didn’t feel it of course. I went to the VA hospital, filled out everything, got my ID, etc, all still sitting on the scooter. I did notice the left leg of my pants was wet. Took the bus home.

Back in my apartment, I moved from the scooter to the wheelchair to find I was soaked from my waist down to my knees from the snow I fell in. Also saw about ten pieces of gravel I had been sitting on the whole three hours. Of course my coat remained on and I’m sure no one saw it, but I just laughed thinking about it. I think if I had moved into a regular chair during the orientation process there, we all would have gotten a laugh out of it.

A short story long, I think it’s a good thing. Have a great day!😂

Yul Brynner, a unique actor in many ways. His look, his voice, his walk, all very different from the old Hollywood norm. Many excellent movies were made starring him and this is a taste of some:

Where can he be? I told him it started at two! I just know this is the one, I just know it! Harry took out his cell phone and called his buddy, Joe. Receiving no answer, he texted Joe, looking at the paper again.

Yes, there it was, his golden ticket. . .third race at “Lose Your Money” downs, a train ride away. Harry needed Joe to bring the rest of the money. It was no coincidence, Harry went over and over it since last night, reading the racing section to see if any horses met his criteria for a sure thing. He called Joe to tell him the good news and to bring the rest of the loot from the robbery. He knew this would be it, just like the last robbery was the last job.

Harry finally saw Joe running up the street from the train platform. However, Joe had no bag with him. “Where’s the money?” Harry yelled, he was so anxious.

“You’re not gonna believe it, I was just robbed. . .course, I can’t tell the police.”

“You’re right, I don’t believe it.”

Another day in the life of two losers.

I choose fear for this Prompt. Most times faceless, but it looms over you like a black cloud heavy with rain or hail. The rain you don’t mind so much, you probably have an umbrella for facing it, even in heavy rain. But hail, often bold, pelting and harmful balls of ice is dangerous. Your usual protective umbrella doesn’t work. Hail damages everything around you, including your spirit. Hailing fear may get the better of you some days. You hide inside yourself, fearful of coming outside, fearing damage you may receive.

Faceless fear is the worst, because your imagination and even unwarranted thoughts plague your mind, may balloon out of control, out of the realm of common sense.A spider, snake, a threat in person, ordinary fears, you can face them. You can overcome their reality. It’s the ones in your mind it is hard to fight.

“Wow, this is beautiful! Can you believe these colors? It’s like I’m seeing them for the first time!”

“Yeah, but they’re huge! Where are we anyway? The last thing I remember was being yelled at to weed the garden. Mom hates seeing weeds in here.”

“She sure does, and we hate pulling them!” Jerry laughed as he and his younger brother Tom looked closer at their surroundings. “Everything is huge, bigger than I remember, it’s scary!”

Stepping around the bright blooms, they came face to face with a large inquisitive ant. Looking the two boys up and down, the insect passes by. The boys freaked out and grabbed onto each other in fright.

“Was that what I think it was?” Jerry nodded in shock. The reality of their adventure hit them both at the same time. . .”we shrunk!”

Earlier, the curious pair had found a bottle that said “drink me”.
