Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

  It is Friday Twiggy, and I think we are all glad. Seems like this was a longer week than usual. Thoughts on the week. I am part of the 1B group (Over sixty-five with an underlying medical problem) eligible for the Covid vaccine. That would be good news, with the exception that there is […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy’s First Snow

Here s a shot of the front yard on Sunday as the snow begins to stick. We never get snow, so this was a big occasion. “Lucy. What is that white stuff starting to form up on the yard.” “I saw this once at the Coast in 08, Little One. It’s snow. I’ll go down […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

  It is Wednesday Story Day time again, and last week, we learned there is a mole in the group feeding information to Cortez’s team. Just who and how it was done are questions that need answers. I see Pricilla is starting to eliminate those who she suspects are clean. Let’s go and listen to […]

Tuesday – Anything Possible – Kreative Kue #294 by Keith Channing

In Keith’s words. “Using this photo (below)as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do at a Gusher Oil Well Hit in Beaumont Texas in 1901

  This week marks the 120th anniversary of a big oil strike at Spindletop Hill near Beaumont, Texas. Since this is the dawn of the oil industry, which grew to be the first Trillion dollar industry, we need to see this. We better take a list of the things not to do so we don’t […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Trash Day

Since it is a slow day here in Lakeway, I decided we would look at some of the locals’ recycling habits. This will be a short trip so we will want to spend a lot of time eating and drinking. I think most of you are familiar with the tour bus. First impressions can be […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Sky’s the Limit”

  It is Stream of Consciousness time again, and here comes Linda Hill. She has a balloon on a string and an envelope attached to the string. I’ll bet it is the prompt for today. “Hi, Linda. Want to come inside.” “No thanks, John. I just need to deliver this prompt.” “I like the balloon.” […]

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

Twiggy gets her wish. Friday is here, and we are all glad. Before I forget I am also at Story Empire today. Here’s the link but come back. This has been one heck of a start to 2021. We all witnessed an insurrection act that we haven’t seen since the British burned the Capital in […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy Play Outside

“Hey, Lucy, come quick.” “Coming. What’s the emergency?” “I saw the flounder running on top of the fence.” “Flounder? What are you talking about.” “Well, that’s what Mom and Dad call the squirrel.” “How did you figure that one out?” “You see the squirrel, and someone says flounder, it’s not hard.” “I guess the folks […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

  It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week, we watched as the options for grabbing Carolyn went out the window. It appears that the only option is to wait for Cortez’s team to contact someone. Pricilla believes it will be Lazar’s lawyer. Nothing is certain at this point. IN fact, we don’t even […]
