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.
You have lovely memories of your library. You must have lived close enough to go on your own. I loved my local library too. I went on Saturday morning with my dad.My favourite books were Little Women, What Katy did, Heidi, and any Dickens books.
Happy 10th WDC Anniversary, SandraLynn Team Florent!! I'm sorry I can't battle alongside with you, dear Florent. Go forth and go well! You are doing excellent!
WWAD-what would Andre do! Maybe he could get a 3D-printer, make bracelets with WWAD on them and sell them on the side.
We get our dogs braided rope toys to chew on and use dental sticks to help clean their teeth. Perhaps Andre would enjoy a nice braided chew rope, and if someone would make a banana flavored dental stick, he could use it for a swizzle stick in his drink and chew on after he downs it.
My grandgiggles now ask if I'm wearing bubble wrap when I venture forth for a meander/walk/stroll. I thought a clumsy monkey could be conceivable and that he'd be told the same thing I am. Be careful. What is that? Accidents happen, to me any way.
QueenNormaJeanGreeneggs&vegham You win! I've never been shot at, well, not directly. I once experienced the back window of my car being shot out as I drove along a highway. I believe it was a hunter's errant bullet. I wrote about us accident prone people. I refer to it as O.U.C.H. I believe I intended that to mean Our Unique Clumsiness Hurts. We create our own writing material.
Oh come on - I've had so many weird accidents - last one I swear I tripped on a feather. Broke 2 bones in my hand, cast for 4 weeks and now I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow. Cannot move the blasted hand at all.
Car accidents, been shot at, blew my knee getting into a truck. falling down drunk and waking up looking like a prize fighter when I had to go to a family funeral. I've had a few good ones.
I'm the accident-prone one around these parts - although most people would guess my most-used word falls into the "swear" category, it's actually "ouch."
May 15th prompt: Many fairy tales are often based in truth. Research the true story behind your favourite fairy tale and share with your readers. What lesson or warning was the tale trying to impart? First, choosing a favourite fairy tale caused me to stop and reread a few. I wanted to refresh my memory. I like the basic story behind Beauty and the Beast. So, I then lost myself in research. As always, I'm amazed what can be found online. Thanks Google! So, what did I discover could be the truth to one of my favourite fairy tales? It dates back to 1537 and a boy named Petrus Gonsalvus living in Spain. Apparently, he was believed to be a beast because of his all-over body hair due to a condition known as hypertrichosis, or more commonly werewolf syndrome. News of his unique appearance reached King Henry of France who summoned ten-year old Petrus to his court. There the boy was groomed to be a nobleman and when the king died his wife Catherine de Medici found a wife, also named Catherine, for Gonsalvus. This is where the concept originated. A beauty learned to love 'the beast.' This couple celebrated a forty-year marriage that produced seven children. Four of their offspring inherited the werewolf syndrome. Basically, this tale teaches that looks are deceiving and that true beauty comes from within. I also believe it encourages a belief in magic wherein falling in love is magical.
