Fandango’s Story Starter

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
THE SUN WAS SETTING OVER THE LAKE, PAINTING THE SKY IN A MIX OF ORANGE AND GOLD, AND THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH THE SOUND OF CRICKETS SINGING, WHEN SUDDENLY…Joe startled. He heard hoofbeats, loud on the sand and getting closer every second. He rubbed his eyes because he couldn’t believe what he was seeing! Then a voice with a strange accent yelled at him, “Master Yoseph! They are coming! Mount up!” Joe was incredulous at the sight of a black clothed warrior riding up close and speaking to him. Suddenly a horse appeared and as he looked down, his entire wardrobe had changed. This is cool, he thought and just as he pulled himself up on the saddle, his wife nudged him. “What’s going on? I think you fell asleep. By the way are you finished with that book, because I want to read it too.”

Another Book!

Finding not much to watch I have been reading more and this book brought back my feelings during the days of the Vietnam War and the Pentagon Papers. It is a YA book and maybe that’s why it was so easy to understand. I highly recommend it! And what is your opinion of the PP if you’d care to share?

From Wikipedia: Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War is a 2015 non-fiction book, aimed for young adolescent readers, written by Steve Sheinkin and published through Roaring Brook Press.

5 Word Challenge – The Big Day

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Goodwill is prevalent even in 2022, with polar winds and white surrounds, the excitement is especially reveled by the little ones. The anticipation of a savory feast, and then afterglow, sitting cozily with a cup of cocoa, choosing each other’s love over everything else.

The fairy godmother‘s smile caused a crinkle in her cheeks as she twisted her wand to collapse the spell created by the sinister Grinch. The green monster turned away in chagrin for his actions. Fairy godmothers and sprites alike keep a careful watch on children during the Christmas season.

When the popular Christmas season opens up a dimension of familiar illustrations, something causes a heart to flinch. It may be an old holiday movie, choosing an evergreen to decorate your home, grazing the bakery section of a store, or thumbing through the many catalog gift publications. Whatever causes you to cooperate to feel the solstice, the simplicity of the intended message will come through.

Here are this week’s questions:
1. How organised are you in either your working or private life? Very organized everywhere

2. Do you remember family birthdays or anniversaries and send cards? Yes but need them in my calendar if they are new.

3. If you see something in a shop that is an extravagance but you can afford it, do you buy it? No. I used to be able to do that years ago.

4. Are you looking forward to the New Year? I think it will be the “same old same old”

Gratitude:
What simple thing warms your heart? As always my family and their living hearts

The Monday Peeve – Medicine Covers

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Ever try to open up those capsules or pills that are encased in plastic with a foil bottom? The ones that the outer packaging claims “easy open”? I always need scissors! Seems funny now that I’m thinking back on it, but a disaster at the time. I had the unfortunate need for two of those tiny little tablets last night.

Funny only because I had just put biscuits in the oven for my meal of the day to accompany chicken veggie soup made the day before. Long story longer, I had just left the kitchen, set the timer for the biscuits and got a strange feeling…you know the one🙄😳😧. I rolled back to the kitchen, tried to grab the biscuits out of the oven, not realizing how hot a pan can get in less than a minute, opened the wrong drawer for a hot pad and then threw the pan on the stove top. Of course I was too late as I rolled to the bathroom.🤯. I may have a stomach bug requiring those tiny pills again🫢😓
