The criticism of the display at the Paris Olympics is such a thoughtless vibe when athletes from all over the world have worked for literally years to just compete? The goal is camaraderie among the sport teams and individuals, not ridiculous headlines. Shame on you, media.

“Much ado about nothing”

Someone famous wrote

I saw it myself

With a tv remote

I thought it was laughable

I’ll be honest

A platter of veggies with

A man laying upon it?

I think the hoopla is undeserved

And a poor attempt at meaningful not served.

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Have you ever wanted to design your own home? Yes. I know for certain I could design a better useful handicapped apartment/home than any I’ve lived in😂


2.  Have you designed anything specifically for you or your family? No


3.  Does anyone in your family have ‘artistic qualities? (ie. painter/artist, sculptor, landscape gardener etc). They all do! My three sisters were all artists and writers and I have grandkids who excel at this and landscaping.


4.  When it comes to property or buildings, do you prefer a modern design or a more traditional approach? I like both, but don’t really care for large heavy dark furniture

Gratitude: I am grateful that two people in my family are starting new jobs this week! Yea for them! 👍🏻👏🏻🥳💪🏻❤️

As light turned to dark, the energy in the area perked up. It was starting to get cool and the previous escape from the heated weather that drained everyone’s ambition, suddenly left to hide until another sunrise. A mix of food and latest cover music delayed the earlier urge to sleep. The beach was alive again with a local band and all ages dancing.

The Sunday Whirl

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
On the edge of the surface, Joanie felt windswept by emotion. She observed through gauzy curtains a familiar silhouette approach her best friend Julie. A deep sense of dread called up her jealous nature. It started with a few kisses and then his hands were in her tangle of long curly hair. This was no unfamiliar act, it left no room for doubt. They had been lovers behind her back for a while. Her mind threw sketches of her time with him, their love making, but was that all a sham? She drew the knife from the buffet table, determined to slaughter them both. But then she laid it down on the sideboard. They could have each other! Both were not worthy of her love any longer. Joanie left the beach house and drove home.
