Truthful Tuesday 9-17-24
Did your family move around a lot when you were younger, or did you pretty much live in one place for most of your life? What about now? Do you move around frequently or have you lived in the same place for quite a while?
I moved at 3 to a dairy farm and then at 15 to a small apartment in town, then a boarding house, apartment, house and more houses and then two apartments. I lived in Vermont, New Hampshire, Texas, Colorado, Texas, Texas, Colorado, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming.☺️

MLMM Wordle
Excitement ruled
‘Twas the first day of school
A uniform donned
A bus trip such fun
The teacher stern
No games learned
But excited eyes blink
Seeing all food and drink
Lunch money spent
Cookies were lent
A fun day for tots
They love school lots!

MLMM Monday Wordle #390
SYW 9-16-24
Here are this week’s questions:
1. Do you believe in Love at First Sight? Definitely ❤️
2. How did you meet your partner? (I know I have asked this before) I worked at USACRREL and he was a GI there.
Alternative question for my single readers:
Do you live alone or do you have a pet for company? I do live alone, widowed in 2013 and no pets.
3. How long have you been a couple?
Alternative question: how old is your pet?
4. Did you marry in a church or other religious place, or somewhere else? We married in 1966 in a small church, reception in basement😀
Alternative question: have you had more than one pet at a time? When our kids were little we had three inside cats and two outside dogs.
Gratitude: I am grateful today I had a trip to WM for groceries, but bought too many snack items and fixed a Taylor Swift book display that some weirdos had turned backwards and put Bibles in front of them all 🙄😳😡🤯🫤

dVerse Poets Quadrille
Bela Lugosi played it so well
The long toothed monster from hell
When midnight came the vampire’s thirst would swell
Always eyeing the prettiest, young belle
As a monster figure, he looked pretty cool
But when approaching his prey, I think he might drool.

Quadrille #208 – Undead to the World
Limerick Time
Many books that I do hold dear
Apparently cause people fear
They spend their free days
Ruin book displays
It’s become a pain in the rear!

Laughing Along With A Limerick
And so it begins…😡
We were at WM today and passed this display of books. The photo shows that I had just finished turning all the books around the way they should be presented.
When we saw the display someone had turned all the books backwards and put bibles in front of them…WTF? My daughter took the Bibles all off and put them back on the shelves where they belonged.
I turned all the Swift books around. It’s bad enough to be accosted by groups of women, preaching to you, or wanting you to join some cult or telling you about God or Jesus, or whatever, that is bad enough, but going around to book displays for Pete sake, Taylor Swift? that’s just ridiculous.
If people don’t wake up and stop this nonsense, it’s going to be life like the Handmaid’s Tale 😳😡
Winnie’s Woe
Poor Winnie, she stood right outside the door, hoping the sun would cure her, aches and pains and a sallow complexion might have been a product of her melancholy. She was physically exhausted as night after night she watched the moon climbing into the empty sky, and then fitfully dreamed of lost love. Winnie’s days were long and tiring and certainly disappointing. There was no one to help her get out of her slump. It was affecting her appearance and wrinkles started forming around her constant frowning lips. One night she decided to make a wish on a falling star, silently pleading for a happier life. The next day she decided to make a change by herself because it seemed no one else would help her. She got up early, walked down the path near the beach and on a whim, ran into the surf. It was invigorating and she even screamed to the waves, “I’m ready!” She had a sudden burst of excitement and then ran out and lay on the sand. She cared not that she was soaking wet and gathering sand on her clothes, even looked up to the sun, smiling.
“Ready for what?”A deep voice asked, and right then, Winnie didn’t feel woeful at all.

OLWG# 383- Rigmor @ The Met
The Sunday Whirl
The school decided to have a seventies retro love in, celebrating freedoms of all kinds, some controversial in closed minds, but that was not deterring them. The principal’s role was to only bear witness and not get physically involved, staying off the streets and in the commons area. His wife was surprised the next morning to see newspaper images of an untidy man behind prison bars. Headlines reading: “Principal Jones Reveres Protesting Students. Jones let personal feelings from his college days get the better of him and was seen chaining himself to the bike racks along with his students.”

Steampunk Saturday Study?
A soldier of fortune that’s what he could be or an adventurer traveling the seas. It’s the steam punk era, so it could be the future where every human has metal sutures. I have to say this man stirs intrigue, but alas, I fear he’s out of my league!

I hope it’s okay I borrowed this image, Kevin.
