Gray clouds
Rumbling thunder
Always neutral
Yet a stormy background

The Joy of “Rocks”
Joe was training the new museum employee and showed him a chalcedony chip from the geology section. It was Joe’s favorite place in the history museum with many glass displays well lit to enhance their beauty. Joe wanted the new docent to show tenacity in his talks to the students on their school tours and make them believe knowledge of geology was important. The new ambidextrous employee showed amazing skills as he handled the agates with care.

Healing properties of chalcedony (agates): “It transforms negative energy into positive energy. Agate enhances mental function, improves concentration, enhances perception and analytical abilities. It is a soothing and calming gemstone that heals inner anger, anxiety and helps in the strengthening of relationships.” https://injewels.net › blogs › agate

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Encore
Another shooting, another horror
Seen and read with apathy
A simple encore of yesterday’s news report
“It won’t come near me, I’m adamant, won’t be intimidated, I live in a good neighborhood…
And then shots rang out again.

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Encore – July 5, 2022
Simply Six Minutes
The charming old couple peered at the now overgrown railroad tracks. They looked for a while and then at each other and hugged for a long time. They knew seeing these tracks again would be emotional and bring back those terrible memories, but it was also a sign of triumph.
They met in a horrible train, on its way to the camps. They both were children and since separated from their parents, they huddled together to keep warm and safe. Both quests went unanswered as soon as the train stopped and they were taken to different hovels. It was fortunate they were selected to work the same job and would meet whenever possible.
It was a while before the allied troops came to free them and by that time they were teenagers and old enough to go on their own. They have never been separated since that day.

Car Trouble
“Hey handsome, you any good with your tools?”
I was slightly taken aback but the old ego kicked in and I blurted out, “uh, sure.”
“Then would you take a look at my Maserati? It may need an oil change.”

Fandango’s Flash Fiction
Welcome to Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge. Each week I will be posting a photo I grab off the internet and challenging bloggers to write a flash fiction piece or a poem inspired by the photo. There are no style or word limits. The image below is from shutterstock.com
For the visually challenged writer, the image shows a group of four people in the evening sitting around a campfire on the sand near a lake. One of the group is playing a guitar.

It often happened this way, after a long day of surfing and swimming, taking time to relax and enjoy each other’s company around the fire. Joe would play his guitar and he was good at it, and the rest of us sang off key, but no one cared. It was the eighties and we were carefree.

This question is appropriate for me today. This week I had my seven year cancer free checkup. I’m doing great! For me this means being healthy ☺️
I would say no.
Luckily, depending on how you look at it, 🙄😂I have no SO.
Probably many times. One that comes to mind is being reprimanded by a (manager) in front of a crowd of customers. It was lunchtime and the store and my area was overloaded with demanding customers. I tried to defend myself and ended up crying in front of all. Extremely embarrassing.
My gratitude is being around family and they are a wonderful one!❤️
Lisa’s Bingo Challenge
I am taking the free space with these selections. Since I am enjoying the holiday with freedoms fought for by many, that I only inherited, I offer a few military accounts of war I have read:
If all you know of war is what you have seen in movies, take the time to check these out.
