Here are your questions for this week:
1. Do you use an ‘air freshener’ in your home/car/office? (solid, gel, spray, pot pourri, etc). I use a bath and body plug in in the bathroom but the scent is very light.
2. How often do you clean the oven or microwave? It depends if something splatters, but I usually just cover everything.
3. Do you use a fabric conditioner in your laundry and/or fragranced tumble drier sheets? I use detergent and dryer sheets that are clear and free, no scents.
4. If you have the choice, do you prefer to get your laundry dry outside on a line or use a tumble drier? I would but not possible any more. Funny story: when first married I was determined to do everything “right”. We lived in an apartment complex in Houston TX. I bet the neighbors thought I was crazy when I attempted to hang out my laundry in provided lines in the parking lot. They clothes never dried and had to be rewashed due to polluted air in the area.🙄
Gratitude: As always love of family and my granddaughter’s safe air travels.

Fandango’s Flash Fiction
Another lonely Saturday night, but Jane might salvage a good movie out of it all. She settled in with a plastic spork that came with her moo goo gai pan from the Golden Dragon and started watching the romance.

Life vs Dreams
Joe sat in the movie theater, not really paying attention as it was the third time he’d seen the production. His mind drifted to the story of his life. As a young man, he had been on a journey to derive the mystery of his previous dream vocation, to become a minister, or at the very least, a social worker. Joe wanted to lead a crusade to help the less fortunate. He began at a seminary college, full of promise and expectations of what he might achieve. It was in reality, an impossible task and he was discouraged early on. All humanitarian efforts he involved himself in were temporary fixes. Gradually he lost incentive and moved back to the city where he grew up. Joe looked at the third set of boys sitting beside him in the theater, part of the big brothers program at his local church, looking forward to not visiting the cinema again soon. Being a superhero might not be the best example for children.

Exasperating as it is, I did experience a good thing. My Roku had stopped working (just another annoyance lately) and when I thought I should move it out from my tv stand, I dropped it. All of a sudden the tv came on and the Roku has been working ever since. This was definitely in the twilight zone area since three family members and I had tried to get it to work previously.
I think it’s the internet service I have that is causing the tv to just go off without warning, slow charging of devices and other irritating issues. Or maybe it’s a secret recording tape by big brother listening in?? You never know😂
