Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

Friday once again and only eight more hours (give or take a few) till quitting time. I’m so lucky this week I have my daughter and grandkids visiting. Two of the three grandchildren brought a guest and youngest is visiting from Austin, so we have nine of us kicking around the house. It is so nice to have a bunch around. The noise the talk the laughter are all music to the ears. Makes one take stock in what is considered important. Yes, peace and quiet is essential but so is the happy bedlam of the family. This week’s JohnKu ( A termed coined by Words4jp) talks about family. Hope you like it.

Underfoot and loud,

All around and in the way. . .

Until sad silence.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  5. John, I’m THRILLED for you! Nothing beats having the kids (and their noise) home. Nothing. Enjoy them while they’re visiting, for you’re right — too soon, they leave, and the quiet returns.

  10. Sounds like you’re having a blast, John. It’s been awhile since we’ve had a large gathering and I miss them, for a few days at least.. and then I’m ready for the peace and quiet again. It’s all about moderation. 😀 Have a great weekend.

  13. Well, Happy Saturday! I got distracted yesterday and missed your Johnku ;( Hope you’re having a blast with your family. My sister (mother of 3, grandmother of 6) could definitely relate to the Johnku. I think she’s happiest when she has all her kids around her 🙂

  14. I’m glad to know you’re having a wonderful visit, John.
    I can only imagine being in the same family as that goofball trying to lounge on the tree limb! Maybe that one needs to get into “Bob’s” life and teach him to have fun. 😀
    Mega hugs!
