Obviously, that’s not me. When I’m sleeping I look rather hideous, so I chose to use this guy. He didn’t care. The prompt for today is Notes. I’m supposed to start a diary, which I’ve started many times and have never kept for more than two or three days. Something else I’ve never done is …

Discovery Prompts Day 19: One Plus One Equals Three
In ninety seconds we went from a family of three to a family of six. We knew we were going to have triplets six days before they were born. The due date was April 10. They were born ten weeks early by cesarean section. We had no idea what to expect. We were supposed to …

Many years ago, we bought a vintage metal table and chairs. We have never repainted it, and this year the wear and tear is really showing. Rust is beginning to take over, so it’s time to take action. I bought a sand blaster, which is actually a walnut shell blaster. I was sure it would …

Discover Prompts Day 12: Feeling Light
One of the suggestions for writing about this Discover Prompt is recalling a time of feeling completely carefree and light. I gave that quite a bit of thought and I really can’t remember the last time I felt completely carefree. We’re talking about a feeling. Feelings come and go. Who knows how many different feelings …
Discover Prompt Day 11: Bite, Bites, Bitten, Biter
I was only bitten seriously by a dog one time. Obviously, the dog wasn’t anything like these two. The only biting they do is on chew toys or each other. No, this dog had a look in his eyes I should have avoided. I won’t say what kind of dog it was, it really doesn’t …
