When reading Di’s post about food at a market, I responded with info about our current siege and chief income for our capitol city, Cheyenne. July is Cheyenne Frontier Days here in Wyoming. People from all over attend. Last year my daughter took me because one of her old favorite bands was featured, Night Ranger, and we hadn’t been in a long time. It is a huge venue for Craft and other vendors to show their work and artistry, rodeos, and carnival type food and of course band performances. We waited till they performed that night and stood in a back area to listen. It rained of course, but my daughter loved it.

REBLOG: Trump Unfit part 2
SoCS July 20, 2024
A repeated story, to my dismay, in my family is about me acting like my stubborn self. I am reminded of it at most family gettogethers🙄😂
I was following my grandson, he on his bike and me on my 😡three wheeled scooter😡. He told me to follow him as I was going the other way. I said no I’m going this way…ran over a small speed bump, fell and broke a bone in my hip, smashed my elbow and embarrassed myself all around, including to a construction worker who rushed over and sat me back up on my scooter. So now anytime I resist a suggestion, the old…remember when…?
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS July 20, 2024
“The Bones Beneath my Skin” (T J Klune)
The first lines prompt reminded me of how many books I have loved reading more than once. This book is one. I love the way T J Klune expresses different stories, usually involving many types of love. I have many of his books and series on my list of favorites and narrators are very good also. Here are starting words from “The Bones Beneath my Skin”:

First Line Friday
Book two in the series: The Angel’s Game (The Cemetery of Forgotten Book 2) by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
“A writer never forgets the first time he accepted a few coins or a word of praise in exchange for a story. He will never forget the sweet poison of vanity in his blood and the belief that, if he succeeds in not letting anyone discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will provide him with a roof over his head, a hot meal at the end of the day, and what he covets the most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that surely will outlive him.”
The Angel’s Game (El juego del ángel, 2008) is a prequel to 2001’s The Shadow of the Wind, by Spanish author Carlos Ruiz Zafón. The novel marks a return to The Cemetery of Forgotten Books in Barcelona’s Raval district, and the Sempere & Sons bookshop. Like The Shadow of the Wind, it was translated into English by Lucia Graves and published in 2009. In Spain it was published in 2008.[1] The planned initial print run broke all publishing records in the country, with one million copies.
The Angel’s Game is set in Barcelona in the 1920s and 1930s and follows a young writer, David Martin.
In a once-abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, Martín makes his living by writing sensationalist crime stories under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque, “grand guignol” tales about the city’s underworld.

The light was red, and seemed to stay 😳that way! Sara was panicked😫, thinking this might be the last time she could 👀see a nice👱🏻♂️guy she met 👩🏼💻online. The date 👫was scheduled for a certain 🕰️time because it would be his 🍔 lunchtime. She looked 🙄up at the traffic signal🚥, pleading for it to turn green and suddenly it did! She parked 🚗 at the Starbucks, carefully checked her appearance in the car’s side door mirror and walked 🚶🏼♀️➡️in the coffee ☕️shop. She recognized🚶🏻➡️him right away🫠, stepped close for a quick 🤗hug, and the rest 👩🏼❤️👨🏽 is history.😀

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
Simple words for anarchy: chaos, confusion, disorder, disorganization, lawlessness, nihilism, riot, turmoil, insurrection, tumult.
Ask yourself, “do these words reflect the actions on January 6, 2021?” Actions incited by a former president? If you answer yes, vote your beliefs. If your answer is no, open your mind, watch the videos, watch Trump’s speech—listen to his plea to take the capitol, listen to him carefully, every riot mob building push to violence simply because he lost an election, well proven.
