The Bag Lady

Cold and wet, tired and exhausted, she sighed, as there was no escape. She would suffer long and hard before day was done. This kitchen was certainly no jocund atmosphere for her novice cook. It was so hot they had to continually wipe sweat from their faces. Heaven forbid any salty drops landed in his bowl! Watching the young apprentice, she recalled bittersweet memories of her own first days in a king’s kitchen.

Our muliebrity mentor usually acted fairly with an honest claim of commitment, and to focus on the good things in life. Always sitting in the corner as shy as I was, I didn’t mind her attempts to dazzle us. Anything to stop the mundane lectures I thought, especially in this seretinal time when everybody was complaining about getting back to class. I suppose it was her idea to make us excited about the new year, a big push to engage us in some extra activities.

The professor thought treating us to a nostalgic trip to her life in the seventies would do the trick, and honestly? I admired her style—except for the white gogo boots, I could have done without seeing her in them.

So this is where it started?

Yes my son.

And the rainbow colors all these brushes?

Yes, and the painter catches them all and keeps them handy.

For the sunrises, sunsets and everything? Even the flowers and trees?

Yes my son.

The dragon rarely spoke unless challenged, for he had a fiery attitude. The young knight was obviously clueless, adorned with a wooden sword. Not only was it heavy, it was not wise to be wielding it in front of this beast. The older knight companions formed a screen around the apprentice to keep him from harm. As a result, no flames were ignited and all lived to fight another day.

I seek the clear, plains of the western states, where simple waves of sepia grasses grace spacious prairies. An open window in a room where blue skies border my view can make me drowsy with contentment. I say certain love is in beholding nature.

Wordle 520

Are you seeing rojo

Keeping “in the know“

Better not start late

It causes brain debate.

Instead be amenable

Read something tenable

Keep it light and airy

Don’t watch news that’s hairy

Take my advice

You’ll sleep twice as nice.

RDP-Sunday- Amenable

He said “I’d like to invite you to brunch”
I exclaimed “you certainly must mean lunch!”
“Why, no, I actually meant brunch with a “b”
I looked straight at him and said, “are you mocking me?
I’m offended you speak so casually!”
He exclaimed, “well, I’m sorry, meaning no offense,
Simply utilizing a portmanteau, it’s
breakfast and lunch condensed!”
