1. My sister is coming for a visit this evening. She spent the day with Mom and is coming up from there. We live a few hours apart so we don’t see each other a lot. We talk a lot but not always in person. Melissa and Mom.
2. Doug. Have I mentioned him before. I have a dog Doug. Just in case you didn’t know that. My dog, his name is Doug…. sometimes.
3. Look , this is the TToT and I know it’s the primo hop but I am so happy to have so many people wanting to participate in six sentence stories…. The cue will be out in the a.m. cuz I finally was able to fix the time on my blog…No the badge still isn’t grabbable but… I’ll link to the cue in the a.m.
4. I’m also grateful because you are maybe thinking of participating in #3 this week. I know you are… c’mon…. YOU know you want to!!!! hahahahaa! No pressure… I roll on the no pressure principle… I’m just an obnoxious prig who likes to tease….
5. This weekend there has been a veritable treasure trove of stupid movies…my favorite old black and white B classics and dinosaur movies , and disaster movies, and ridiculous Martian sci-fi stuff. I don’t watch TV much but when I do…
6. It hasn’t been warm enough to even consider installing the air conditioner for the season. That is the plus… but having the option is definitely #7.
8. Have I mentioned I have a dog … his name is sometimes Doug… he is def. worth two thankfuls.
9. The rooster is outside my window cock-a-doodle-doing… it’s a hoot cuz Doug likes to watch him and doesn’t like to get too close to him now that Doug is older…
10. Work today was a totally do-able affair. Long but okay. My desk…
Frist?

I’ve been enjoying the Six Sentence Stories, but I don’t know what I’ll do when I can’t think of a life story for the prompt. I think the last time I tried to write fiction I was in 6th grade! So, please just keep coming up with words from my life, OK? 🙂

OH no worries , that is how I’ve been picking them in the first place! Fiction is too tough! Even for sixth graders!

I don’t know what my dog would do if a rooster was in our yard. He’s getting pretty blind and def so I imagine that he might not even notice. He’s kind of like Garfield the cat now. Eats and sleeps 🙂
I hope that you have a good visit with your sister! I always have a ball with mine. We went to a parade yesterday and she fed my son cotton candy out the whazoo. She’s like a big kid herself!

There was a time in the younger days when Doug would chase after every chicken in the yard and herd them back into the coop and GOd forbid if they “talked” back… NOw he just lies down and lets them do as they please. I suspect its a combo of apathy , deaf, dementia and blindness.

Well that’s part of the mystery now i’nit? He’s a bit of a hulk, dark, youthful, sharp as a tack, frightened of nothing… except maybe Yettis, and dementors. He has one quirk in that being French he sometimes likes to wear a Napoleaon outfit…

Doug and Franklin (the large puppy that we do day care for) should become best friends. Dogs are pretty darn cool. Yep, your desk needs sorted but in defense of a brilliant mind, so does mine! Hope that you have a great week!
