Views of the Neighborhood – Nashville Indiana

I am in Nashville Indiana to attend the High School graduation of my granddaughter. This week’s Views of the Neighborhood will give you a small taste of the town. On the outskirts is the Bean Blossom overlook Spectacular view. Another View. The reason for the trip. My Summa Cum Laude grandaughter. Pay no attention to that old guy […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt -Start with a Noun

  It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This weeks prompt is “start with a noun.” Linda Hill describes the exercise as starting the post with a noun and then base the post on the noun. Sounds fun. If you would like to join in, go to Linda’s place and read how. Here is […]

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

  Another week has passed. I have often wondered if we all consciously attempt to put in the best week possible. By that I mean do we continually strive to fill the week with the kind of accomplishments that we will be proud to say we finished. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Bailey

“I’ll bet I can make you blink, Lucy.” “You know short stuff I have been in staring contests with cats and walked away a winner.” “Yeah but you’ve never been under the control of Super Frenchie.” “Tell you what. Bailey has been dying to play a game. Go do a staring contest with her. She’s […]
