JusJoJan 23 Colour

The color today is BLUE. Blue to see another school shooting with two killed and 17 injured. RED for the people who think easy access to guns is an answer. PURPLE for frustration at the no change gun policies. BLACK for the mindless who think having and teaching children how to use guns is a good thing to do.

FFfPP – Week 4

Do you constantly have to look at yourself in the mirror? You know you’re not all that popular anymore. Don’t you know orange is the new black?

I suppose you think that neon blue you’re sporting is better? What are you, a leftover from the seventies? I’m surprised you don’t have flowers and peace signs painted on.

You’re just jealous ever since Dory was in that movie with Nemo. Now he was something!

Daily Prompt: Tardy

I never cared for this word, tardy

I was never that foolhardy

For school I always took the bus

Small neighbor van drove all of us

He was a neighbor, son a classmate of mine

We lived miles apart and his driving was fine

Old Mr. Adams we used to call him

Acting well behaved and prim

So if lateness an issue, it wasn’t us

It was the old guy driving the bus!

Apologies, Mr. Adams. I expect lightning in my area soon.

FFfAW 1-23-18 – You Call This Furniture?

“I see you’re finally chopping that wood I wanted! Now we won’t freeze to death since there’s a storm coming!” Agatha had to ask her husband more than once to do anything, but seeing him actually doing something productive was rewarding.

Jake was usually preoccupied with inventions. Some may have been good ideas, but what Mary needed was a practical man, not a dreamer. Of course she had no problem often reminding him of this fact.

Sharpening the axe, Jake took his time–physical labor wasn’t his forte. He turned to Agatha. “So how do you like the couch I invented?”

SYW January 22, 2018

This month (my least favorite of the twelve) is going by fast. Either that or I’m getting older, so realize how fast time goes. Nah, that can’t be it!πŸ˜‚ Snow on the ground, cold, but it is pretty, cleans everything up for a while. Time for ceenphotography.com‘s Share Your World questions again. Partial of her post below, come on in, the water’s fine.

. My life, my family.

2. I love rocks, collected them as a child and still do if I have the chance.

3. Definitely a hugger, come on in!

We had a great time at the Downtown Aquarium in Denver, CO last Friday. Me, my granddaughter and daughter stopped to pick up the oldest at UCD, had a delicious lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with a delightful waiter – I'm a sucker for an English accent – and then went to the aquarium. After the 11 year old's classes, we toured the huge maze of facility, and watched the mermaid show. A lot of fun, and I'm grateful we can share these outstanding events.
