1. I am happy with my life and feel content. I get frustrated as everyone does who lives out of a chair, but I really can’t complain—did I say that? Doesn’t sound like me🤪

2. The only trip I have planned is to see a ballet version of Dracula in Denver.

3. I listen to audible books every day and read blogs here and the news. My latest book was “Code Zero” by Jonathan Maberry. Before that I had read again, “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir, and “Wolfsong” by TJ Klune. If I’m waiting on hold in the library app and can’t afford Audible, I reread some favorites.

4. Actually I was up late this morning and I’m still having coffee at 2:20pm, so something small and easy. I think it will be a tomato/cheese quesadilla😂

I only snoozed a moment

I swear on my constant light

Then checked if I was standing right

I had woken up to a sudden shift

Felt movement, then a sort of lift

I looked around and saw in shock

I’d been removed from sea and dock

Now how can I be useful here

Watching foxes, bears or deer

Might they need my warning light

When hunters roam in dark of night?

Oh well, I guess I have no regrets

Here I’m not always getting wet!

Anyone seen the new Elvis movie? My daughter and her daughter are wild about it and told me I should watch it now that it’s on HBO, so last night I did, at least I tried🙄.

I love Tom Hanks but his performance as The Colonel, nope, lacked…a lot. The narration was irritating. I liked some of Bas L. other movies such as “Moulin Rouge” but this?? I fast forwarded through much of the colonel’s speeches and the way it was “in your face” with cuts across the screens like a TikTok video and huge letters displayed was annoying. And constantly going back and forth in time is not my thing. Add to that, there were hardly any performances by the actor who actually played Elvis, which was a huge disappointment!

I give a lot of credit to Austin Butler who was very good as Elvis and his singing and dancing were great—he has potential, but the movie as a whole was a D+ at best.

Now tell me what you think, have you seen it? Since I “lived” it, is probably part of my problem. The 1968 comeback special is how I like to remember Elvis.

A scowl spread across her ivory face, surveying the shoreline, hoping it would not be another day of unbearable summer heat. The lavish sand however, transpired an ethereal mirage as the waves refflected more of the sun’s wrath. The clouds played cagey, always hiding on the edges, until later when they would show themselves in an afternoon thunderstorm. The brief lightning would stalk the beach with brittle flashes only to be waylaid once more by another beautiful sunset.

I love this quote because it’s me

Saying how I’m there to see

Not with rich words eloquently

But straightforward mentally

Write and write and write and see

With no guard have fun, just like me!

Welcome to the Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip, 10 September 2022!

For this week’s Lucky Dip, I have reached into my mystery bag and pulled out a Quinzaine. The topic is up to you! You may be thinking to yourself, What on earth is Quinzaine?

Life’s only what you make it

Which one do you choose?

Move or spurn?
