Night and darkness foster memories.

It was only an instant, maybe a minute
I fell and suddenly he was there,
Picked me up like a feather
I was dizzy, unsteady, and
He held me close.
__
I’ll never forget
The crisp blue shirt
Soft scent of cologne
Feel of his body
Strong arms holding me
__
I hesitated, embarrassed,
Never a stranger so close, just holding me.
It was only an instant, but I’ll never forget how it felt, how he felt.

I thought I would post some games you might like for gifts. Our family play lots of games!🥰We played this game today. The kids and I love it. The original is good and you can get different extensions to play more cards.

My choice this week is “The Banana Boat Song” sung by Harry Belafonte. This is an article from “The New Yorker” magazine:

Sleigh bells ring as the fancy decorated horse clip-clops along the path. It is a Christmas tradition every winter. The problem starts when it’s an extra cold night and the driver gets a case of hiccups. Those hot toddies are delicious!

Longevity-not all it’s cracked up to be. If I were an elephant I would learn to accept it, but hiding out from poachers doesn’t seem a very nice life. I like my big floppy ears, they come in handy to ward off insects, and of course my tusks are useful and quite handsome. My bulk and strength comes in handy for work, in case trampling the ground gets boring and I need sustenance. C’est la vie!

Sitting stationary on icy blizzard highway.
Good morning! It’s my grandson’s 20th birthday today and were having a small party, so be of good cheer! I took him out yesterday for his last teenage cheeseburger–his favorite nourishment.😀. So for this week’s Prompt, we open the latest flyer/ad in the mail, etc. and I opened this:
I love the plugins and candles they have there and Tis the Season is a favorite. I find the candles burn down evenly, not only in the middle, and leave all the wax on the sides like some others. In fact I just replaced a plugin yesterday with the Tis the Season scent. It’s a spirit builder for sure. I hope you have a lovely weekend and enjoy yourselves.

Bertha the cow from across the fence: “Well would you look at that? How did he get in there?”
Her friend Rhonda, the chicken, replied: “Well you know, Farmer Brown was so upset at Mrs. Brown, he yelled out, when pigs fly! Then it was like a miracle, all those porkers just sprouted wings and took off. The only one that didn’t leave was Georgie Porgie. You know he just flew over the fence and into the pool. He was always a little odd, hated mud baths. I guess he prefers chlorinated water instead!”
The rest of the farm animals just went back to grazing while Georgie thought he was in pig heaven.

After trudging through muddy snow, the cold permeating their winter coats, they finally found it. This was the answer to their prayers, a completion of a promise and a quest all in one.
The three children just fell to their knees with exhaustion. It had been a long journey for such small legs, but they all felt relief and expectation. The book was correct, here was living proof. They followed the map in the story and found the tree of light.
It was a simple matter now. As soon as they rested a bit they stood in a half circle by the tree. They all had their own secret wishes, hoping the tree’s light would grant them all, but had decided earlier if only one wish was granted, they would all be satisfied. They held hands, closed their eyes, and concentrated on their wish.
Suddenly they felt the light’s warmth surround them. Each one was transported to their desired dream. As they left, the trees light faded and remained so until another needy child’s wish would be fulfilled.
