SoCS 7-27-24

I am tasked with repairing an older quilt that my granddaughter made for her brother. Unfortunately, it is made with flannel and some linen type fabric and the seams have come apart and the edges are extremely frayed.

I’m going to have to re-stitch the seams with a whipstitch or a hemstitch or a backstitch and hopefully it will stay together. I’m also trying a lock stitch and my old fingers are complaining but it’s a loving task. But I must say trying to make these seams look neat is a real bitch.😂

3TC – It’s not even Halloween!

He tries to creep

He’s a bit shy

He can’t even lurk

His bones too dry

Causes him to jerk

And then they clank

And there’s his odor—rank!

He should just give up and stay

In his coffin where he was laid.

One day…

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
One day I’ll wake up, stroll over to the kitchen, start the coffee maker, look out at my small patio garden and sigh. I am a very lucky person. I have a nice home, food, water, appliances that provide convenience, a few nice neighbors and live five minutes away from my daughter and family. Who could ask for more? I do complain about Trump🙄 and occasionally my wheelchair, but I’m alive and not kicking-well maybe if I really put effort in it, I could 😳🧐, but then you’d have to come over and pick me up. My arms are pretty strong, possibly I could punch someone, but I doubt the secret service would let me get near you know who😂

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

There’s no denying he’s belligerent
Banking on and using the ignorant
People he prefers to sway
With his deceiving ways
Always vociferous
Acts with indifference
With women or non wasps, he’s less than illiterate.
Supreme Court he duly appointed
He must have thought he “anointed”
Propped up by their rulings now indurate laws
Immunity for his flaws
As if tolerance and support never existed
This is really twisted!

No Theme Thursday

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
I’ve come too far to step down now
I’ve done everything the rules allow
I won’t turn my back or ever bow
They’ll look at me and see how
My talent is in my fists
I’m ready to join the boxing list
They finally know I exist
I’m letting them know I can do this!
I’m in the ring, announcer speaks
Excitement is at its peak
Audience admires our physiques
Managers go over our techniques
The first round bell is tweaked.

A Day in the Life of Beavers

“Okay Joe, quit lounging around on that pine branch. We have work to do!”

“But Chuckie, I love the smell of the sap and pine needles make a soft dry bed!”

“I gotcha, but this dam isn’t going to build itself, so get off your keister and help me!”

“Okay, but we quit at sundown, right? There’s this cutie down at the Bark Bar I want to ask to dance…”

“Sure looks like there’s been a murder here. Look at this building, it’s old, it’s dark, it’s creepy; there must be a thousand rooms in this place. You can’t tell me that there wasn’t at least one murder in at least one of these hotel rooms.”

“You know what Jack? We were supposed to take this vacation together to tour Europe, see some history, and if this building isn’t history, I don’t what is. And the whole idea that there has been a murder here just makes it all the more intriguing. I’ll bet there was even a room where Edgar Allan Poe sat and wrote one of his horror stories. Wouldn’t you like to see a room like that?”

“Mike, are you kidding me? There’s probably ghosts in these rooms! I don’t think I’d want to see a ghost much less stay in the same room with one overnight! But you’re right, we did want to come and experience historical places, and this certainly looks like one, so I’m game if you’re game. But let’s stop down the street first, get some snacks, maybe some fish and chips they’re famous for. Or we could stop in that pub I saw and have a few beers before we meet the ghosts. What do you think?”
