Fandango’s Flashback Friday

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – 4-29-17 by rugby843

Howdy doody! It’s Saturday SoCS by lindaghill.com and we’re off with the Prompt “yard.”

I’m in an apartment now and don’t have a yard. Besides the maintenance, I miss it very much.  In Colorado at my old home built in 1940, we had a nice yard. Crab apple trees would be in full pink blooms today, the Forsythia in yellow, and the Bridal Veil in white. The English Sparrow babies would be peeking in and bobbing up and down outside the porch windows. The Iris would be in full bloom, along with white, lavender, and purple lilac bushes. The Colorado state flower, the blue Columbine, would be coming up and the Peony bushes budding. We lived on the Western slope where it was a near perfect seasoned climate. When it snowed in the higher mountains we were privileged to see beautiful snow topped peaks. I could go on, but you get the point, loved it!

Time to watch the “Blues Brothers” movie again—love the humor and music.

**no offense intended.

Fun fact:

Blues Brothers (1980) – 104 cars destroyed 60 police cars were purchased for the making of this film – and none survived. The most cars destroyed in a movie is 532 in “Transformers” 2011.

Writer’s Workshop – Agree

It’s not much fun if we all agree. We’re not all branches from the same tree. Even in families that aim to please, there’s dissent in opinions which don’t always agree. Voices are sometimes raised or met with smiles, even praised. All make it interesting and never boring. But we draw the line when it comes to scoring.
