3TC – Taking Advantage

Management of the garden had fallen on the head of the family, Grampa Brown. He always followed a productive daily schedule and since the rest of the family had come down with an illness, it was up to him to take charge. While the family rested in quarantine, he jumped on the chance to plant some of his favorites in the garden space. Broccoli, brussells sprouts, cabbage, spinach and beets ruled the day–none of which were the family favorites.

Playground!

The station reminded her of some great creature, its constant machine whir breathing around her as she worked.  It was against the rules of course, but Mary was tired of hearing her children complain about being cooped up at home. Since her job was one of the essentials, she decided to take them to work with her. Mary was the only one who worked in this section of the factory and decided it would be a needed distraction for her kids. As they entered the colorful room, they exclaimed, “Wow, this is better than McDonalds!”

Fandango’s Friday Flashback 4-10-20

From 2018, FFfAW and the Secret Keeper:

“It’s perfect! It’s just what we need for our coffee shop!” Joe was glad the light was behind the structure for her first view of their new home. Mary was skeptical, hoping for a more established yard, even a tree would have been nice, she thought, but didn’t want to discourage Joe on first look.

The dry surroundings and gray sky gave Mary a slight feeling of foreboding. Joe’s taste was a bit different than hers. “Look! It’s even got a sign board out front already! This is going to be great! We’re going to be rich!”

Mary hesitantly walked inside and immediately brightened. The interior was cozy looking, had a fireplace and a few tables and chairs. The small kitchen needed help, but that was her specialty. Joe’s specialty was knowing Mary and fulfilling her dream.

A to Z Challenge – Intimidating

Feeling frisky

Not risqué

Felt empowered

For only a day

Wrote a few haikus, nothing much

Quick little things about love and such

Bravery overtook my mind

Submitted them to be published in kind

Sent them off quickly without a care

Now seeing them published is quite a scare

As usual I didn’t think

Before putting my mind to ink

Now it’s out there for all to see

I guess what will be will be

Seeing it myself is intimidating

Should have edited better, oh it is grating!

At least I did it, took the plunge

Wonder if it can be expunged?

Sunday Photo Fiction – The Grumbles’ Vacation

***

When you said let’s go for a tropical retreat, I had no idea this is what you meant!

It’s relaxing, just go with it!

A mud bath is one thing, but this is taking it a little too far. . .I feel like we’re taking roots!

Uh, George, is that your hand? George?
