The Sunday Whirl

She couldn’t breathe. Her forehead damp with perspiration while sparks and stars started to swirl in her vision and sprouting fireworks seemed to orbit around her head. She thought she might faint or had she already? A sketch art of her son’s empty shadow surrounded her and even her sisters couldn’t prod her awake. A nightmare dream had taken her consciousness away when she saw the body of her child laying in the grass.

Husbands and Wives

I don’t need your approval

I am my own man

I always dress on a whim

I thought you’d understand.

********

My dear, I absolutely agree

But when and if you’re joining me

You’ll change into a proper shirt

And trash that obnoxious tee.

Fandango’s Who Won the Week – Dominique Claseman

“Pretty much it was either word-of-mouth or going door to door,” Claseman said.
But his methods worked. His community liked the idea of a veterans memorial so much that they were willing to donate much more than he expected.
When the fundraising ended, he’d raised exactly $77,777 for the project.

The finished memorial was unveiled to the public on Memorial Day. It features 280 engraved pavers leading to flag poles and places to sit, surrounded by landscaped plants.

Just a Little Time to Myself

When I say I need space, I mean I need to be alone.

I will not answer any doors, also not my phone.

It seems to me that everyone should have this ability.

It is not meant to be rude, I do it just for me.

Alone time serves a purpose, makes my goals more clear.

Now please just let me to do my thing, my lover, always dear.

Simply Six Minutes

***

Some people told Joe he was crazy to work for old man Jones, but Joe ignored them. With no degrees or diplomas and a big family to support, Joe took whatever job he could find. No matter what Mr. Jones asked him to do, Joe did it.

Joe’s work ethic is rarely seen in these “me me me” days, but—a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do—was his attitude. Of course old man Jones knew this and took full advantage of Joe, watching him struggle with his bike full of bricks.

SoCS – Wallpaper

***

In 1972 we moved from TX to CO and the entire house was painted with coffee w/cream color. With three little kids, I repainted the whole thing in an off white because the carpet and curtains were boldly colored. We had three bathrooms and I wanted to make the one for the boys bright so we tried a stripe- never choose a stripe for an old house – it was a disaster and caused a thrown – not by me – measuring item to make a divot in the tile floor😂. Later we tore that out and put in a black and white funny cartoon wallpaper. We papered the kitchen in that home too. As a rule I think wallpaper is great for others but too much of a mess for me.

When we moved back to CO from TX in 2000 and were close to the grandkids I would “paper” our walls with drawings, finger paintings, and other media art they made. Creating anything and everything with them was the most fun!
