Careful What You Wish For

The family paragon, head of the household since her husband’s heart attack, Matilda Wilding was ready for the challenge. She donned her huge wooly overcoat and swept out of the office. She sat in the back seat of the limo and told the driver to “just cruise”. She needed some time alone to think. Her sudden rise as the company’s CEO had put her in a position she didn’t foresee as being so difficult. The family resentment she thought being her number one obstacle, but in her first board meeting, she realized it was not going to be easy taking her husband’s place.

Fandango’s Story Starter

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

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.

3TC Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo

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.
