| Thursday April 18, 2024 5:45 pm An attitude adjustment about the future of my blog is in progress. I saw this one:
Daily activities like a diary Opinions and editorials about serious stuff Fun recurring themes like Trivia Tuesday Does it matter when one person reads it Who am I writing it for Many have answered that question saying it helps them to write and get things off their chest Off to ponder some more. |
| Friday March 29, 2024 12:45 am Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise Please use these words in your entry: weave, cake, inside, outside, ample, reception, and pepper. Have fun. After the wedding, Jan planned to have a get-together outside in her backyard after the people attending had ample time to finish up their eating, visiting, and dancing at the wedding reception. Her sister baked a special cake that was bigger and yummier than the wedding cake. Most of those invited to this part of the night went inside to stand around in the kitchen to weave old and new stories. There was simple food at this party. I brought the deviled eggs. I noticed several people shaking pepper on theirs which is the way I like it too. The after-party went on until 2 am. Everyone decided to leave around the same time. Jan collapsed on the couch after the last guest was gone. She had planned this day for months and it was over so quickly. She checked to be sure she had everything she needed for her two-week honeymoon. Her new husband said the destination was a surprise. She hoped there would be a lot of sitting around. It would take her a few days to come back to Earth from cloud 9. |
| Day 3460: April 2, 2024 Prompt: “He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.” George Sand, from The Devil's Pool. Let this quote inspire your blog entry today, I never could quite understand poetry. All the interpretations of "Evangeline" amongst other classics. Here, however, the poetry is not ambiguous. We have fine poets at WdC. What a blessing it is! Post a reply... |
| Wednesday April 10, 2024 6;25 am "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" (The group signature is not showing up). . Prompt: April 8, 2024 was the eclipse. Did you get to see it in your area? How did it make you feel? Write about this in your Blog entry today. My family and I saw the solar eclipse. My daughter had ordered special glasses to use so we could look and not damage our eyes. The dark part where the moon began to cover the sun was already in sight. The eclipse's trajectory put it barely in our town, meaning it didn't completely cover the sun. My 12-year-old grandson thought it was "good." he said as is speaking, as I suspect he will as a teenager in less than three months. I was thrilled. The last time we took the time to prepare and watch it was when I was 10. My father had a telescope. He fixed it so the eclipse showed up on a white poster board. It fascinated me then as it did now. |
| Day 3467: April 9, 2024 Blogging Circle of Friends  Prompt: Write about April Flowers or April Showers.  My mom loved flowers. If you asked what was her favorite spring flower, she said, "Pansies. I love their little faces with so many beautiful colors." May Day. the first of May. was the one day Mom would clip her pansies. We would stand at the kitchen table to assemble our May baskets. We made the baskets with strips of construction paper, glued together in a crisscross pattern, and attached another piece of paper to form a pocket. We were assigned houses to go to and leave the baskets. We would hang it on the door handle, ring the doorbell, and run out of sight, not getting caught. I was caught once at the Snyder's house. Mrs. Snyder came out the front door, lifted the basket, and looked me in the eyes. She said. "Hello, tracker, I knew it would be you to leave these pansies. That was nice. You are a very thoughtful girl." I would continue to be thoughtful toward people every day of my life. I never received the same kind of heartfelt response as Mrs. Snyder's. but that does not matter. I know I am being kind and considerate as I think of ways to make a small gesture to give with a grateful heart. Every spring I think of the purple, blue, and yellow pansies looking up at the sky in my mom's beautiful garden. A fond memory fills my consciousness on May Day. The gentle scent of pansies envelops me. I can almost hear Mrs. Snyder's voice. That is why I love spring, my mom, and April flowers. |

I must tear myself away from WDC to work on other projects. If you blink here you are sure to miss something. If I did not mention it, I was so excited about my Quill awards. And I still have not come down from cloud 9 about my yellow case. I almost hated to put a costumicon on, but it looked so blank. I have played the piano since I was 4 so the one I picked is perfect. |

| Saturday March 23, 2024 1:10 pm I apologize my dear blog, I have forsaken you for a while. Please don't take it personally. I have been crazy busy. I completed a college class with a 12 slide PowerPoint presentation and essay. Here is my feedback from the teacher: this is one of the best projects of the class. Your speaking portion shows your preparation and how you professionally handle a true training class. It is kind of like you may have done this before (smile). You have your points, designed slides, in-text references and activities. This went into my personal happy file, like the one you see in my Happy Book folder. Then to hear about the Quills I was awarded, right after getting the yellow case that I never in a billion years saw coming, was amazing. To commemorate the Quills event I posted my trinket I created on the newsfeed.   I will not meet my goal of the number of days I check in to Habit Heroes. Sometimes you have to make choices. I promise to return hopefully tomorrow.  |

| Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt March 13, 2024 Thursday Who celebrates Pi Day? Every year on March 14, math fanatics and food lovers unite to celebrate Pi Day, a holiday that's dedicated to the lengthy mathematical number that most people abbreviate to 3. 14.. What's your favorite pie? Do you bake them yourself? Or go for the premade pies at the store? This is the first I have heard of Pi Day. I have no aptitude for math. None. Zip. Zero. I have to take two math classes to earn my bachelor's degree by August. I don't know if I will be able to accomplish that. My overwhelming favorite pie is lemon meringue. I don't see it advertised. We got ours at a chain restaurant named Village Inn.. My mother-in-law made this pie from scratch. She whipped up those pies in no time flat. The real lemons were always just sour enough that the taste was soothed by the firm meringue. I miss her pies almost as much as I miss her. |
