It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again, and this weeks prompt is, “frame.” Here is how Lind Hill describes the assignment. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “frame.” Use it as a noun or a verb or any way you like. Have fun!” Notice how easy it is for her to say, “have fun.” If you would like to join in and have some fun, go to Linda’s blog and read how easy it is. Here is the link.
Frame by John W.Howell © 2019
“Doggone it.”
“What’s the problem?”
“This frame.”
“What about it?”
“It doesn’t go with the room.”
“The painting is fabulous.”
“Yeah, but the frame is gold.”
“So?”
“The room is nickel.”
“Change the frame?”
“Might be easier to change the room.”
“How could that be?”
“I hate this room.”
“You just finished it. I thought you loved it.”
“I did while I was doing it. Now I think I’ve changed my mind. In fact, let’s sell the house.”
“I say we put that picture and frame away for a while. Maybe come back to it later.”
“It won’t help.”
“You’ll be in a better frame of mind.”
“Who can I frame when they find you dead?”
“You’re talking crazy.”
“I need a margarita.”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to just ask for one.”
“I needed to frame the justification.”
“It’s okay. I’ll have one too.”
“Oh, good. Know what?”
“What?”
“That picture and frame look okay now.”
“Another problem solved by soothin’ syrup.”

Haha! “Let’s sell the house” … That’s so me. Even if something as simple as changing a frame would do. I’m always ready to move. Guess I need some of that soothing syrup. Another great post. Loving the Saturday morning laughs.
