My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
PROMPT March 4th Use the following words as inspiration for your entry: inquiry, curiosity, investigation, suspicion, and clandestine. (You need not use the words in your entry, but if you do, please highlight them in bold or a different color.) Jake sauntered into the kitchen. He'd heard banging, clattering, and now whispering. Something seemed to be happening almost under his nose. He felt sure it was clandestine and in his house he conducted all the investigations. In order not to raise any suspicion re his sudden appearance, Jake took his time circling the room. He lingered here and there. Finally, his curiosity got the better of him. He marched right up to the stove and inhaled deeply. Aha! He knew it! Cookies were in the oven. He couldn't help but slobber as he groaned. A hand approached with an inquiry. "Oh, hi Jake. Who's a good boy? Did you smell the cookies? Nothing gets past you, eh boy?" |
