Update

Sorry I am not active here the past few days. I am in a turmoil with move, can’t move yet, what am I going to do now that everything is packed and I can’t move dilemma. My daughter is a life saver—don’t know what I would do without her—yes I do…go on. We all go on no matter what, don’t we? And it’s not like this is a horrible tragedy, it’s just mind numbing inconvenience. This whole experience reminds me of an old proverb:

***

Or the Army—“hurry up and wait”

Have a good one!🤓

The Sunday Whirl

***

The truth is, a morning running free on a hayfield was an engine starting my shiny day. My father and uncle never sat around reading the papers on a Sunday morn. I was witness to their tireless ability to hold a day job while striving to work a farm. As a child I never wondered why they chose to pay the price, but it was the life, in those days, to split their time between two needed endeavors. I was always just happy riding on their wings, living an interesting adventure.

MLMM Saturday Mix

This week we are diving into the depths of our thesaurus and exploring the world of synonyms.

Same Same But Different
Your ‘Same Same But Different’ task is to take the five challenge words and NOT use them in your writing. That’s right, you need to dig out your thesaurus and find a synonym for each word instead.

Your words are:

  1. die
  2. wrinkle
  3. hurry
  4. day
  5. hear

Your writing form is either poetry or prose.

We wait for all the fails

The era of the rumple

They speed across your body

As seen in morning vails

Eyesight dims, reading woes

You strain trying to listen

Aging comes in many forms

The fading bloom of a rose.

Holidays

I’m not a person who suffers from avarice and at this time of year it can be a problem. I pity the hollow heart that thinks spending a lot of money, even to the point of going into debt, thinks this is what the holiday season is about.

My greed is warmth, in many fashions, mostly being together at home and hearth with family.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback – FFAW

***

“Girl, what are you wearing?” Gina was laughing at her friend Gloria. “You think that flower is going to get you a man? Girl, you are crazy! You know all they think about is their next meal, give it up!”

Gloria kept strutting around, hoping to stand out enough on the purple gravel to attract George, her favorite beau. “George likes flowers, and I think he’ll be happy to see the ones I’m wearing.”

“You be careful now!” As Gina left, she saw George jump down, landing right next to Gloria. “Guess she was right, he does love those flowers!”

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

A mixed bag his year—some are traveling, some are sick, some waiting for serious test results, and some across the sea, but I am grateful and happy to have three of my grandkids coming over. I am ordering four meals and a pie 🙄😂 so no cleanup, no cooking. My apartment is in disarray with boxes piled. Move-in day is December first and a uhaul will be filled on the 29th and 30th. We will play games, laugh and talk about the latest happenings—it’s family!☺️

Have a great day wherever you are and think “thanks” to the universe🧡
