Sitting here sipping my crème brûlée

Sun’s decided to come out and stay

Thirty degrees is a fairly warm day

It’s Wyoming winter’s February way

Most last storm’s snow melted away

Perfect for basketball, watching plays.

Did the day you met your partner unfold like a romantic film?

My answer is definitely yes. But all romantic films end☺️

1. What does love mean to you? Total commitment of unconditional love.

2. Is love blind? Sometimes.

3. How do you remember Valentine’s Day as a kid? Do you have any special plans for the day this year? Making and receiving valentines with a party at school. Getting together with daughter and granddaughter today.

4 Are you a fan of the movie genre known as ‘rom-com’? What’s your favorite (or one of your favorites)? Not usually but lately I’ve seen a few.

5 What’s something you recently put your heart into? I think I put my heart into writing but doing for and being with family is the best.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  My oldest granddaughter is 28 today🥳

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 02/13/2024 – My Take

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: He woke to the sound of whispers, not knowing if they were coming from elsewhere inside the house, or from within his own mind. He could probably decipher them. Words like drunk, again, problem, how, and tired sifted into his mind. He couldn’t blame them for talking about him. His life took a wrong turn a year ago and he could not seem to get his act together. He was not the first or be the last to drive under the influence and cause a terrible accident. Maybe today he could turn it around. Maybe.
