Daily Addictions – Bat

Well look at that, who would have thought

She’d wear the funeral hat she bought

Black, covering her face with net

Obviously stating her discontent

Future mother in law at the wedding

No smile allowed and she’s forgetting

It’s not really her decision

Her appearance causes division

Dressed all in black including her hat

I’m sure the groom’s thinking “what an old bat“.

One Liner Wednesday

Going to pay a doctor to fill out redundant forms for government permission for a bus pass and handicap sticker….”oh, no, I didn’t suddenly after six years, wake up to find I could walk again! Duh!”🥴🤨🧐

RED TAPE…

Twittering Tales #149

Look lady, I’ve no authority to do that.

Are you kidding? You have to get me to hospital!

I told you take the exit, but no, so now we’re stuck.

Do you know how to deliver a baby? This one is coming, now!

I’m honking, signaling, what else can I do?

Stop driving, get back here, help!

MLMM Photo Challenge #276

There she is Bob. I can’t believe he thought he could get away with this in the first place.

I know, right? Trump and his secret missions! My three year old would have had a better idea.

Spying with drones is one thing, but even Russia can do better than this!

Yeah, but Trump’s group of conspirators planned this and now we’re paying the price.

From the helicopter, the angry Seal team members view their task–to retrieve the drone from one of the few full forest areas in North Korea. An impossible task, except they are Seals.

FFFC #26 – Dune-ish

The two old men stood on the slippery moving sidewalk to board the bus. Transportation had evolved quite a bit in their lifetime, not all of it seemed welcoming. The new floating bus appeared and they noticed its appearance triggered a memory.

Wow, I told you!

That the new bus system is revolutionizing travel today?

Nah, I’m talking about the design. Doesn’t it remind you of anything?

Nope.

Remember Dune?

I never read it, too many thick volumes and quite depressing.

I stopped after the first one, but saw the movie. Did you see the remake in 2020?

Nah, my vision is so bad I don’t enjoy movies anymore, besides those sounds and movable seats? You might as well go on a rollercoaster! I never liked them, either.

I just remove my hearing aids and enjoy it all.

Time to Write –

Entering my mountain cabin, the home of my retirement age, the scent of sandalwood cheers me. After a long visit with busy relatives, I am grateful for the sanctity and aloneness my home offers. Peace enters my weary body and I feel my tired muscles relax. Familiar comforts surround me as I drop my bags and sink into my favorite refuse, a gingham overstuffed chair. From this respite I see the large picture window framing a familiar landscape where dreams are construed, and realize there really is no place like home.

Granny Gift

My granny made this sweater

She taught me how to knit

I really like the colors

But look at how it fits!

I think she might need glasses

Her vision not quite right

To me this gift she passes

No inconspicuous delight.
