Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

 

“Whatyadoing, Lucy?”
“I’m Taking a sunbath.”
“You sure no one can see you?”
“So what if they can.”
“You’re not dressed.”
“Neither are you.”
“Boy now that you mention it.”

Yes, it is Friday. Pretty soon, the cares of the week will be history as we take a breath over the weekend.

A few activities are going on in the neighborhood that I will be covering for the month’s balance on Views of the Neighborhood. For those who follow that feature, we usually have food, drinks, and music to go along with the tour. I have the bus all decorated for the holidays so it should be pretty festive.

This week we will be visiting a local Holiday Fair sponsored by Emmaus Church. I’m looking forward to seeing people and taking some shots of the gift possibilities. I will be in my Hazmat suit with the self-contained environment.

Next week Lakeway has set up a light scavenger hunt. There are twelve locations, so the Producer and I will be in our nighttime ninja gear capturing that scene.

The following week is the Sunday before Christmas, so I will be doing the Trail of Lights. The producer and I will again don the nighttime stealth equipment.

Since Christmas eve falls on a Thursday, I have asked Twiggy and Lucy to stand down while I finish some neighborhood decorations.

Now the schedule is set, so at least I can relax and enjoy the festive spirit. Today’s JohnKu talks about the spirit of the holidays. I hope you all have a great weekend.

They come every year,

The holidays don’t sneak up . . .

So embrace the spirit.🎄

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.

  2. Your schedule sounds delightful, John…looking forward to it. Must confess that I am having a bit of difficulty getting into the spirit this year, so your cheery missives will be most welcome. Happy Friday!

  8. Sunbathing…would that I could! With the season upon us, it’s become quite chilly in our area. Like your neighborhood, Branson is a winter wonderland of Santas and reindeer. Just taking a drive is fanciful. Thank you for the reminder in your haiku and of course, the photo of the girls enjoying the sun. So sweet. ✨🎄✨

    And the holidays are what we make of them. So up to us to enjoy them in whatever manner we can, I say! Have a fantabulous Friday!

  14. Sounds like fun times ahead, John! Can’t wait to see what’s on the party bus this time. 🙂 Love it that the girls are getting to sunbathe in December. That’s why we live in the south!

  20. It’s all happening, John. After months of isolation it’s party time. I’m feeling pretty sedentary after reading about your planned exploits.
