One of the worst vacations we ever took was when we lived in Houston, TX and road tripped to my in-laws in Colorado. We had three small children who were ignored and literally shoved aside by cousins when wanting to interact with their grandparents. My father-in-law had remarried and they had two children in between our children’s ages. So you can picture the dilemma. My parents lived in NE and we traveled there every other year, and they would have been loving grandparents, but passed away. When we moved back to CO, we were close and saw the in-laws more often, but the relationship as true grandparents was never there, so sad for our children. So if you live close or in the same home, don’t take loving grandparents for granted. My own grandparents lived with us and I appreciated them.

Writer’s Workshop Prompts for September 12, 2024

My last post for the Unicorn Challenge was a long poem. As I was trying to edit it, the entire thing started moving around, wouldn’t hold a position and that irritating whatever it is pops up, looks like a paragraph symbol plus, and lines are separating my words, deleting lines etc, it’s a madhouse! I need to know how to keep this symbol from showing up and driving me crazy. As I have said before, I am an impatient person. I’m at my wits end—I know, doesn’t take much, but how can I fix this?

I felt a strange thrill

Walking the cemetery chill

Suddenly felt ill

As if I could kill

But must have been that pill

I’m losing my will

Need some water to swill

Hear a scream shrill

My bravery nil

Will hide until

Hearing a sweeter trill

My nerves wild and spill

From seeing a shill

With a metal spiked frill

I’ll hide down in the rille

Then escape in the hills

Won’t repeat this drill

I’ve had my fill.

Easy Peasy Writes

Remember the old days when there was a race?

All the biggies wanted to be first in space?

Now you can ride up to the edge and float

In a small capsule, your heart in your throat…

Every country wants to make spacial😉homes

Me, I like watching from an observatory dome.
