Tuesday – Anything Possible – Finger Point Prompt
Keith Channing is still away on holiday so I created another finger point prompt. This time I used Ian McEwan’s book Saturday. I opened it to page 165 and pointed at a sentence. The sentence reads, “Look,” he says. “It’s an orchid for your room.” The Orchid by John W. Howell © 2019 “So where […]

This post is a continuation of Ten Things Not to Do with a historical background.

Views of the Neighborhood – A Ship in the Channel
A beautiful day. Here is a shot of the beach at about eight o’clock Saturday morning The Producer and I decided to check out the shipping channel to see if any boats were on their way to the Gulf. Sure enough, that orange thing way down there is headed our way. You can see the Port Aransas/Aransas […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt Sap/Sep/Sip/Sop/Sup
Another Stream of Consciousness Saturday and this weeks prompt is a doozy. It is sap/sep/sip/sop/sup. Linda Hill says we can use all of them or just a few or find a word with them included. Well, I choose all just cause I can. If you would like to get these feelings of independence, go to Linda’s blog and […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
Well, it is Friday, and like most holiday weeks it came up fast. Always seems strange to have a new year. I keep putting 2108 on things that require a date. I should be squared away sometime in July. In moving around WP lately, I’m wondering if all of you who have ad-supported blogs realize […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy On the Beach
“Lucy. What do you suppose is going on here? “Humm. Looks like someone made some chairs.” “I’m not sure, but this sand smells like that drink Dad has on Saturday.” “Could be beer alright. This tree has ornaments on it. I think someone had one heck of a New Year’s Eve.” “Lucy. What is mom […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and the last time we were present when Andrew and Larry decided to talk to Louis rather than to confront the cartel boss Cortez. The question for Louis is, did the cartel stiff him on payments for the development of the non-invasive medical procedure. Another thing Larry and Andrew […]
Tuesday – Anything Possible – Happy New Year
“Twiggy. What are you doing?” “Checking out the backyard to see if 2019 has changed anything.” “It is all the same out there. Twigster. In fact, everything’s the same.” “Well, that is good to know.” “Wait. What’s that thing on the wall?” “It’s been there long before you got here, Little One.” “It is an […]

This post continues the Top Ten Things Not to Do with a historical background. Since today is the one hundred fourteenth anniversary of the first New Years Eve celebration in Times Square, I thought the following list would be handy if you somehow get to go there. Top Ten Things Not to Do at […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Winter Sunday
The days between Christmas and New Year are pretty low-key around the neighborhood. I thought I would give you two views of the Gulf while the sky is overcast and the wind is blowing. The temperature was in the fifties. All in all a winter day. A shot of the Gulf from the boardwalk. […]
