Tuesday – Anything Possible – Prompt “crush”
On Sunday, I was reading Michele Lee’s post, which contained some photos from her trip to Peñesco, Mexico. I couldn’t help but be taken by the image below. So, here is one of Michele’s photos instead of a finger-point prompt. You should visit her blog. It is special. Thank you so much, Michele. “Excuse me, […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Stream of Consciousness – Stop Me If You Have Heard This One

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Cool
How cool is this? My coffee was waiting for me when merely approaching the machine. How that happened is anybody’s guess, but it seemed like a nice thing to have happened. After the first sip, the time travel clock came to mind. The time is set to November 30th, 1924. The place is Cleveland […]

The black machine just sits, waiting for a command. The touchpad offers selections to please every coffee lover’s taste. The conundrum is which to select. There’s the Americano, flat white, cappuccino, Latte, espresso, single cup, and double cup. My finger follows its muscle memory and selects the double cup. The icon lights up to let […]

A bright new day is underway. (Is this poetry or what?) The Coffee machine senses the need for fast service. A mere touch of the start button sets a series of machinations in motion that end with an olfactory-pleasing mug of the life-saving elixir. Understanding the memory restoration properties of Columbia’s second most lucrative export, […]
