It’s TTOT time! I am just a day late, but this week we are taking a bye week, so it’s okay if we are a little sparse this week? Feel free to add to the fun. You can go to the link below to add yours and to see others.

Top 10 Reasons to Feel the Thankfuls this Week!

Sunsets have been super gorgeous. I tried to catch one on my phone last night, but my phone didn’t see what I did. It is parked in my heart.
The holidays have been less eventful and that is fine with me. I like peaceful holidays. Although I would love to go back in time and have holdiay dinners with my family gone before. And I would welcome my family who are on this side. We just live so far apart.
Daughter is pleased with her goodies as is my sweetheart. I can’t complain either.
The ability to give to those who don’t have what’s needed.
The movies lately have been lovely. All ours are the TV and NetFlix ones and there are an abundance. The most recent was Good Sam which we watched yesterday.
We are having unusually warm weather this weekend and that is okay with me.
The other night we went Christmas light viewing. We tried some different neighborhoods and were not disappointed. I would have pictures if I had stopped, but I decided to let the memories live in my heart.
Good news I heard on the TV, especially lately, with their coverage of all the good things that happen. I also love the Tell Me Something Good segment on the Bobby Bones show.
A lot of good things happening in the work sector. I will likely be posting outside of this.
YOU!

six sentence story

Fair Day

December 25, 2021 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

Fair Day

She went to the fair with her family, an annual event

Each booth had hawkers calling out, trying to get attention

“The girl in green, looks pretty keen” was her cue, so she went

She reached into her little red coin purse, squeezed it open

As she tossed dimes at the shot glasses, she did her best to score

She walked away with a little mug and looked forward to showing to off

…..

This was my little mug poem for this weeks Six Sentence Story. When I was a little girl, we would go to the fair and I always tried for a little beer mug. When evening came and I was sitting at the dining room table with my parents, they would let me pour a little beer in the mug, with which I added a lot of salt. Oh, the memories of a young life…
