Daily Prompt Monday

What is your favorite animal?

I love all animals and I’m a vegetarian. I can’t stand the thought of any suffering. . I am the one who will catch bees, scary spiders and other bugs in the house with a glass and a book on the top of it so they can’t escape and puts them outside. My kids have started telling me about a bug they want me to take care of too. I live in a rural area and as much as I love animals one day I saw a harmless black snake in my kitchen silverware drawer and believe me, I didn’t try to catch that sucker but you should have heard me scream 😮 Another time there was the same type of snake on a medium sized table we had in the living room. I didn’t realize it was real because it wasn’t moving . I went over to look at it because the kids were too old to play with toy snakes and I wondered how it got on the table. As I was walking over to the table it slithered off the table and into a vent never to be seen again. When it moved I jumped back so quickly I almost tripped over my own feet.

Anyways I got off track and my favorite animals right now are my two cats . Iris will be 10 in April , we’ve had her since she was 6 weeks old and she had a feral mother. Though she’s been with us for almost her whole life she is still shy at times. Iris is the tiger stripe one.

Charlie is our black and white kitten 6 months old. We got him when he was 2 months old after our kitty Hugo died this past August. Our cats are spayed and neutered and indoor only kitties. Tell me about your pets.

Have a beautiful day 🌹💕

Daily Prompt Sunday

In what ways do you communicate online?

Very carefully. I do enjoy being online but I’m not interested in any nonsense. I remember when we first got computers and someone was telling me they couldn’t get through on our phone line. Well yeah, we had dial up, all that was available at the time. Thank goodness that’s changed.

I use my blog for communication, also X, Facebook and Instagram. I don’t like Instagram and use Facebook considerably less than I used to. I only use X to share my blog posts. I use texting and my family and I have a group chat we use and also text individually. I had Pinterest but haven’t used it in years. I use Goodreads and get message notifications there about the Goodreads groups I’m in. I use email, AOL is what I use. I have Gmail for the different Google services but rarely use their email. I don’t like the format of Gmail.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Daily Prompt Saturday

Bloganuary writing prompt
Think back on your most memorable road trip.

My most recent memorable road trip was July 2022. My husband and I went on a week long anniversary road trip. I had no idea where we were even going. My husband and I visited all of the New England States in the United States.

I really enjoyed Boston, Mass. It was a place I had wanted to go for a long time and we didn’t even get lost for going there the first time because we did the Freedom Trail a 2.5 red brick trail through Boston that passes by 17 locations significant to the history of the United States. It winds from Boston Common in downtown Boston, to the Old North Church in the North End and the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Stops along the trail include simple explanatory ground markers, graveyards, notable churches and buildings, and a historic naval frigate. Most of the sites are free or suggest donations, although the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and the Paul Revere House charge admission. The Freedom Trail is overseen by the City of Boston’s Freedom Trail Commission[2] and is supported in part by grants from various non-profit organizations and foundations, private philanthropy, and Boston National Historical Park. Wiki

We also visited Maine and the beautiful rugged coast. One thing that surprised me about most of the New England states was there are a lot less fast food restaurants and more local places which is a refreshing change from what I am used to.

The New England states are really beautiful and I look forward to more visits there.

The coast of Maine is rugged and magnificent.

I hope you’ll enjoy any road trips you may go on as well.

What snack would you eat right now?

I’ll say it, I’ll admit it. I’m in love with cheese 🧀

I love cheese in most any form but ooey, gooey melted cheese has got to be my favorite.

My snack of choice would be melty cheese sticks. Now I’m hungry for them. 😋

Come up with a crazy business idea.

My idea would be to trap feral cats and have a constant fundraiser going on. With this money I would have a team of volunteers tame the cats, give them the vet care they need, and spay and neuter them. After they are vetted and tamed, they would be adopted by lonely elderly and become their best friend.

Thanks for stopping in today. Spread kindness!

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

My grandmother was an excellent seamstress, her name was Hazel. Growing up it was just my mother and I and we didn’t have a lot of money so I didn’t have a lot of material things. I didn’t wear the latest fashions and was teased sometimes and embarrassed. My grandparents lived about an hour away but my grandfather died when I was just 9 so it was just my grandmother, my mom and myself. My grandmother didn’t live with us. When I was young I had some barbie dolls and as a surprise ,my grandmother made a bunch of beautiful barbie clothes for them and they even had snaps, buttons and zippers. As a child when I outgrew dolls I no longer wanted them. I really wish my mom had kept them . I don’t know where they are now.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

I enjoy the thought of a long life for myself and my loved ones. I do eat pretty healthily, I’m not perfect I do like ice cream at times. I’ve cut back , way back on sugary drinks like iced tea and iced coffee . I also like to exercise pretty regularly including walking, hiking and working out at home. My health is important to me, I also don’t eat meat which is good for my health. I would want to be healthy and have all my facilities about me.

The Daily Prompt

Daily writing prompt
What could you do differently?

credit

I’m not going to get into any mumbo jumbo with this answer.

I’ll just give you a nice simple answer:

What I would do differently is not go out in the yard after our big snowstorm yesterday. Unfortunately, I fell last evening and went to ER today to see if my ankle was fractured or broken. Turns out neither one, so it’ll heal quicker, I hope. They said I tore either tendons or ligaments in my ankle, they can’t tell because an X-ray only shows bones. If I want to know I’ll have to get an MRI. I just want the pain to go away. Limited mobility isn’t where it’s at. You know I wanted an excuse to just sit around and read and I think I’m gonna take that back.

Have a great day, stay safe and thanks for stopping in.

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

My billboard would say ” Your circumstances will change.” When you’re stuck in a bad situation it seems like it’ll last forever but will get better. Believe in yourself!
