MLMM Sunday – February

***

February is a busy month for my family. My oldest son in NJ just had additional surgery, my only daughter has an anniversary and birthday this month and my oldest granddaughter has a birthday as well. Me, my daughter and her daughter are all twenty five years apart. ☺️ Not planned but it’s been great!

Of course it also reminds me of how old I am when my oldest grandson will be thirty this year, whoa! Most of the time I rock along not thinking of my age. That is, until I try to open one of those horrid childproof caps or seal a baggie😂

Have a great new week!

Sunday Confessionals – Checking in with February

The Sunday Whirl

***

The patch of dust was glistening on the low stone wall. Above, the sky was stitched with lines of shadows streaming the expanse. Any hints of rain would not deter the two hearts’ wishes as they lay upon the grass. They stole their gaze from the canopy of blue when a small swarm of gnats interfered. The only mercy found were chilly drops of rain that fell to dispel them.

This is going to be a long day”, thought Jill. She made the commitment and needed to keep that thought to herself. Joe was excited and really needed a break. Jill was trying her best to be happy for him.


She made the mistake of buying new hiking shoes to impress Joe, but she felt blisters form as the anfractuous trail continued climbing. Trying not to show she was in pain. Joe noticed, and made her sit while he set aside bandages from his backpack. “We’ll rest here, have lunch, then cool our feet in the stream.”

Weekend Writing Prompt #349 – Anfractuous

MLMM Saturday Mix

I was sitting in my living room reading a book when I heard footsteps. That was odd I thought, since my wife had left on the tram early this morning. She had been redoing the garden out back and today is buying some cacti to complete her new desert sand look.

I smelled pipe smoke, my favorite old brand which my brother still uses. I gave up smoking a few years ago but I still enjoy the scent of pipe smoke. My brother walked in and we started visiting. He was quite excited as he began to tell me of a movie he had just seen the night before, a murder mystery, which is also my favorite genre. The time flew by as it usually does with me and my brother and soon my wife walked in asking for help to plant her new purchases from the local nursery.

Lucky Dip – Saturday Mix, 3 February 2024

From USA Today🙄😡

“Donald Trump’s federal trial on election interference drops off court schedule, raising questions about other cases”

“Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, has sought to delay four criminal cases until after the election. He has also argued he is immune to the federal election charges because he was president when the alleged criminality took place.”

Lady, where are you?

Reminder

Peeked into the hall

He was walking there 

I backed up, not wanting to stare

His manner reminded 

Of one once binded

Remembering when

I loved then

I peeked again

Causing no harm

Started losing the charm

Though memories danced

Alas, no chance

Just a thought, enhanced

By a man’s forward amble

Caused my mind to ramble.

Excerpt from Claytoonz:

Swiftie Conspiracy

“But perhaps the best reason Republicans and MAGAts are creating conspiracy theories about all of this is because they’re the party of fear. Their entire mode of operation is to scare people. Have you ever heard a speech by Donald Trump? Have you ever seen a tweet by Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene? Add Taylor dating Travis to the long list of fears which also includes immigrants, drag queens, black history lessons, transgenders, the gay agenda, and Michelle Obama’s bare arms running for president in 2028.

To end this on a fun note, a lot of conservatives are looking for their own Taylor Swift and many have decided the person for that job is…put the down the coffee… Lauren Boebert.”

“I’ve seen other comments claim that Swift, who is a billionaire, is only dating Kelce, who made around $14 million this season, for his money. This is another great example of why Republicans suck at budgets. C’mon, guys. She’s not Melania.

And now we have conspiracy theories. Fox News Jesse Watters floated the possibility that Swift is a Pentagon asset. This is another example that Fox News is not a legitimate news outlet.”

Read for yourself but like Clay said: Put down your coffee first🙄
