I guess I’ll give up. I am tired of course, but it seems I’m never doing the right thing. I can’t be everywhere at once and I’m too small. I was only supposed to be a book light. I was made in this design to encourage children to read. Oh well, I’ll just rest here a bit hoping another curious child will pick me up to “secretly” read a book under their covers at night.

Thanksgiving here in Wyoming will be an adventure for those who travel to be with loved ones. Today we are under a huge mountain of snow and the city of Cheyenne is basically closed! Interstates and highways are closed around us, but our family group is close by and we’re thankful always for that.
Scrapers and shovels on windows and stairs
Snowplows working tirelessly on thoroughfares
As for me, it’s hot coffee and blanketed feet
I might make cookies just for a treat
Snow days are fun unless you have to get out
But kids build snowmen and play and shout
I wish I were able
I’d make a snow angel.
🥶🥶🥶

Yes, it’s a big figure because it’s more than frustrating. I had to delete my app and of course it went from this:
To this when I tried writing to support:
To deleting the app. All drafts lost, except they weren’t drafts, they had been published, or so I thought. Looked the same through a browser. I had a couple of stories, and a good poem which was written on my emotions so can’t be repeated as I’d like, so I am beyond frustrated.
As soon as I write anything I publish it. The only prescheduled post is Movie Monday and that’s not every time. The first response I got from contacting them by email was sort of a smartass comment–well you published one six hours ago (movie Monday)? I wrote back explaining that was prescheduled two days beforehand. No response from them.
I had written the now missing ones, published I thought, and left the house. Checked in later to find them sitting there with a message saying they couldn’t be published because I wasn’t connected to the internet, but I was connected! I wrote them an email saying that and finally heard from them today but no help. I wish I had screenshot the poem. Then a little later I couldn’t see them, only what the first figure shows above. Ewwww!
There’s never an We’re sorry, how can we help, etc. Tonight I’m feeling my age, not a nice feeling.
I was looking for something funny and liked the actors, so turned on “Daddy’s Home 2”, starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. hadn’t seen the first one, but Sean Anders also directed “Instant Family ” which I enjoyed and I took a chance. I was laughing out loud! One of my favorite parts was the snowblower scene. I love comedy, slapstick and chain reaction sequences, so it fit the bill.

Night and darkness foster memories.

It was only an instant, maybe a minute
I fell and suddenly he was there,
Picked me up like a feather
I was dizzy, unsteady, and
He held me close.
__
I’ll never forget
The crisp blue shirt
Soft scent of cologne
Feel of his body
Strong arms holding me
__
I hesitated, embarrassed,
Never a stranger so close, just holding me.
It was only an instant, but I’ll never forget how it felt, how he felt.

I thought I would post some games you might like for gifts. Our family play lots of games!🥰We played this game today. The kids and I love it. The original is good and you can get different extensions to play more cards.

My choice this week is “The Banana Boat Song” sung by Harry Belafonte. This is an article from “The New Yorker” magazine:

Sleigh bells ring as the fancy decorated horse clip-clops along the path. It is a Christmas tradition every winter. The problem starts when it’s an extra cold night and the driver gets a case of hiccups. Those hot toddies are delicious!
