Views of the Neighborhood – Crochet Art
Today’s view of the neighborhood is very unusual. Every year during the holidays an unknown person decorates the bollards that serve to keep cars away from certain parts of the beach. These decorations are hand crochets, and each one is unique. What is surprising is one day they are not there and the next they […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Different Kind of Prompt
It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This weeks prompt is a little different. Linda Hill asked us to sit down at our writing place and pick up the nearest book, newspaper, note, or anything with words and choose the sixth, seventh and eighth word on the page and that is the prompt. […]
Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF
This was a typical week regarding no holidays, yet Friday seemed to come pretty quick. I guess it must be my age. I am happy to report that four Beta-readers of The Contract by Gwen Plano and me have already sent their input. (Not due until mid-February) These folks are very dedicated to the […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – The Creature
“Hey, Boss.” “Hi, Lucy. How are you? “Just fine. You know I have something I need to discuss with you.” “Okay, shoot.” “Come closer.” “Is this close enough?” “Yes, Boss. What I need to tell you I don’t want mom to know.” “Sounds serious. What is it?” “Yesterday we were walking in the neighborhood and—” […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again. Last week we learned a little about why Lucas was painting houses.

Speaking of […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do If You Have a Winning Mega Millions Ticket
The inspiration for this post is the fact that this week there were single winning tickets sold for the Mega Millions and Powerball Lotto games. You and I don’t have to worry about how to handle these winnings so I guess this post is dedicated to those two winners of over $400 million each. […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Status of Bird Sanctuaries
The last time we checked on the status of the bird sanctuaries they were a bit of a mess from the Hurricane Harvey. I am happy to report they are making a comeback. Here is a photo of Paradise Pond taken shortly after the Hurricane. Here is what it looks like today. This is what the actual […]

Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF
Another Friday with the distinction of the first Friday for 2018. This one came pretty quick given the fact that last Monday was a holiday. I don’t know about you, but this Friday does not feel any different from last Friday. I guess it would be pretty unreasonable to expect to wake up in […]
