Thanksgiving

***

The tempo quiets as the last dish is cleared and the grunge of cleanup begins. The mostly male visitors avouch their status sleepily stretched out on the sofa and recliners digesting their over indulgence of turkey. This scene will continue until the final football game is over and people begin packing up their early Christmas presents for their journey home. The start of the holidays begins, anticipating the old year’s end.

RDP- Palisade

Freddy Cannon recorded Palisades Park in 1962. I remember dancing to it, but the writer’s name might bring back a few memories, Chuck Barris😊

Charles Hirsch Barris was an American game show creator, producer, and host. Barris was known for hosting The Gong Show and creating The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. He was also a songwriter who wrote “Palisades Park”, recorded by Freddy Cannon. Wikipedia

Holiday Anxiety

Choosing his favorite comfy sweater, Jules’ customary feeling of being ungainly was just another prelude to the approaching Thanksgiving holiday. Why he could not achieve that particular ataraxia his siblings had, he didn’t fully understand. Jules thought his childhood memories were pleasant, and he maintained a relationship with his parents; however each autumn, the anxiety began. He packed his bag with an uneasy reluctance.

Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge

***

Eternal to me means forever, or unending, and the most important of all is love. Love comes in many forms, not just a demonstration with a kiss or hug, but endurance by being closeby as in family. Every family has a crisis once in a while, regrettable remarks, etc, but the love never ends, it is eternal.

5 Things Tuesday – Coffee

***

I never liked coffee as a drink until a few years ago. Growing up it was a staple in my family, they loved it black and that is probably why I never liked it. The first time I tried it was at a drive-in movie with my girlfriend. It was so cold we went to the concession stand for cocoa but they were out, so coffee was the only choice. I added milk and sugar but still hated it. It always tasted watered down. Then someone took me to Starbucks about four years ago and YUM!😂 I think sugar is the key🙄😳.

1. Caramel latte made from my own espresso machine

2. Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream plain coffee flavor

3. Any coffee flavored desserts

4. Mocha shake at Arby’s

5. Starbucks’ almond joy latte
