Saturday Six Word Story
❤️Love makes your life worth living.❤️
Question Time from Rory
Do you sometimes ‘just’ LIKE posts from those you follow but don’t often read the content, and if so, why do you do this? No
Inspired by Sadje. Have people become lazier concerning cooking do you think, or is it more a case of people not knowing how to cook? Both
Is cooking considered a valuable skill by you? Definitely
What news stories, in your opinion, have so far defined the 2020’s and what do you think they have taught us personally as individuals? Violence, hate, apathy and the Trump influence since 2016 has dominated and outlined these actions and faults.
What would you never swallow even if you could? Any buggy so called edible items
How many hours of sleep do you get a night, and how many hours do you think you need and why? Average of four
How important is it to you to have a clean house or environment to live in and does it have to be pristine? Very important to be neat and clean
Would you give up your Smartphone and break your addiction to it? No, it is a literal life saver for me
What have been five of your best TV shows from the dawn of dot to today? MASH, ER, Walter Kronkite news, Laugh-In, Saving Grace. They were good because they showed life as it was, as it could be, compassionate and real; sort of a span of our lives in segments
Why is life not a bed of roses but a bed of thorns? What makes your life good and or bad? I think life is what you make it and neither statement is true.
Toasted waffles or bread and why? I like both but rarely have either
How do you feel about the ageing process and you? I am 76 but I don’t feel my age really. I am lucky to be in good health after so many years of not being so. I try not to wallow in the aging process except to make fun around it, feeling lucky to be alive.

Greg’s Five Word Challenge
The intrepid astronaut boarded the bus to the launch pad. He looked out at the ocean’s sandy beach, knowing it would be weeks before he would enjoy those carefree days again. Being tertiary in succession to this hoped for position, he could not help but marvel as they approached the huge rocket that would take them on an incredible voyage. NASA had reported the lightning delay was over and clear skies would prevail. He settled into position in the small capsule and the countdown began.

SoCS – Twin Tips
This would be me if I had a house or a tree or a dog—oh! I do have lights! One out of three ain’t bad😂. I toyed with the idea of putting my artificial tree out on my patio with just lights but the wind has been so strong that I would need military sandbags to hold it down. Actually, that wouldn’t be such a bad idea because in order to get military sandbags, it would involve the military and who doesn’t love a man in uniform?
The prompt being twin is appropriate today because I just received another Christmas ornament identical to the first one that I ordered. Obviously it’s a mistake, a duplicate order and I will return it, but the problem is it was delivered by the mailman and put in my mailbox inside the complex. Walmart has charged me seven dollars per ornament as a tip. Twin tips? I don’t think so.
Walmart is great at delivering certain groceries, but if you ever want anything that they can’t deliver from the local store, they charge you a tip for delivery, the least of which is seven dollars—it goes up from there. The mailman doesn’t get it, so who gets it? Walmart of course—nothing like promoting Christmas spirit. And it’s not even my gift to give, I ordered it for someone else who doesn’t have a WM.
Add to that WP is deleting anything I try to write or maybe it’s internet, so I’m writing this in an email and hope to copy and paste to the blog. If I can write as I want here on an email it must be a WP problem🙄.
And it’s only December 3, happy holidays!

Writing about the book “Rocket Men” reminds me of this man’s incredible audition. Forget the audience noise, the judges appearances and just enjoy his performance of “Rocket Man”. I have searched but not found a comparable version of this song. I like vocalists who put their entire being into the song they sing.
First Lines Friday
“December 21, 1968—Four days before Christmas”
“Three astronauts are strapped into a small spacecraft thirty-six stories in the air, awaiting the final moments of countdown. They sit atop the most powerful machine ever built. The Saturn V rocket is a jewel of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a vehicle that will generate the energy of a small atomic bomb.”
I liked this book for one, it took me back into my childhood and the wonder I felt about exploring space and two, reading the backgrounds of these three men and families was very interesting.
By August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the Moon by President Kennedy’s end-of-decade deadline, and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the Moon—in just four months. And it would all happen at Christmas.

Too Tipsy
The fun happy atmosphere began to diminish as Gloria who definitely had too much liquid cheer, announced in a loud voice, “it’s going to stain!” Her loud exclamation made a fractious impact on the rest of the party goers. “It’s going to ruin this dress, “ teetering a bit sideways.
The repeat of her declaration was not necessary as the entire group could hear her raucous voice. The gentleman she had accidentally bumped into offered a token of apology, “I can recommend a good dry cleaner.” The crowd was relieved but Gloria stomped off to the restroom.

Cyranny’s 1MinFic
“My mother had one of these and I want to replace it”, apparently not remembering his mother had passed over thirty years ago.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday
#writephoto 2019
Mary saw it in a dream. A perfect scene, with all the elements she loved. It was only a dream, the same one every night, of a meeting. She would be sitting there by the tree, autumn leaves falling around her, cozy blanket to perch on and another for warmth.
Mary would wait there until the blackness rose above the sunset and the chill made her leave. An unrealized dream of every sunset, waiting for him to appear over the horizon and be with her once again.
