This is a hard question for me because I am extremely protective of my family, but when it comes right down to it—no, I don’t think we have the right to kill someone.

I am always grateful for my family—my oldest son’s recovery from cancer, my far away son who’s trying to grow a garden in unprecedented heat, and my daughter and grandkids close family who help me in multiple ways. I do realize how privileged I am. Life for me is good♥️

The Sunday Whirl
The flickering reflective line from the bright sun danced on the waves, almost seen as a bundle of dropped stars. So radiant the sight, my eyes were immersed in a temporary blindness. The sandy beach was a perfect meander among driftwood and sea contoured stone, and the taste of salt was felt on my tongue. The false drama of a floating ghost ship appeared; only a mirage in the sun shone water. I wondered what idol ancient beachcombers imagined as they also visioned the ocean’s portraits.

I always have a weird feeling when this date pops up and it’s been 56 years🙄This was the date printed on our wedding invitations but had to be changed with the “2” scratched out and we married on the 3rd. It was also sad because grave illness was the reason for the change. But on to the prompt. The words I see are at the top of my legal sized green paper tablet: pen and GEAR
Okay, not very exciting I admit, but the book previously in that spot I gave to my granddaughter yesterday. “One Thousand White Women” written by Jim Fergus. A fictitious account of journals written by May Dodd. I started another book by him last night named “The Wild Girl”. Have a great weekend!

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
Frontier Days Parade
I’m easily bored
Seeing no variation of cars by the hoard
I like the bands and the efforts of those
In hot wool uniforms carrying heavy loads
Today of course it started to rain
But they kept marching, no complaints
I would suggest horses be kept to the last
Marchers can’t sidestep an odorous mass
But on they go not to be outdone
Trudging through animal dung.
****don’t get me wrong I love seeing all the beautiful horses but can’t they come in last??🙄

Weekend Writing Prompt #269- Variation
”Come up and see me sometime” Mae West
The “Yes It’s Our Business” faction was on the prowl again, lurking under the private balcony of one Miss Lulu Beangartin. They had heard through a personal, thought to be confidential comment that Miss Lulu was providing entertainment of a lewd variety.
When Miss Lulu saw the men staring up at her, she turned on her oscillating fan sitting on the railing, and opened her silk robe wide. More than one of the pious group fainted and the rest picked the (ill) up and didn’t bother Miss Lulu again.

We headed to Walmart today for my Shingles and Covid boosters and after selecting some deli Cajun Turkey, provolone and croissants +, I had meals for a few days. As we were leaving we spied a new vendor. I was told it was “the latest thing” so naturally I had to try it. It was fun and delicious as my grapefruit tea’s mango fruit bubbles traveled up the straw to my mouth. How fun, I definitely recommend trying it. There is a huge selection of items, flavors, and even yogurt infused slushies.
