Glad you’re doing better, rick. Dinner and the dishes are done, so now Im going to read along with partaking of a hot chocolate.

Sleep sounds good. Hope you’re able to do that tomorrow.

I like this analogy. It speaks of innocence and better times. When things were just as they are without a need to look beyond what simply is. As always, nicely done, tim, nicely done.

Good afternoon everyone... I just survived the most epic of battle with my new power washer. Skirmishes, there were a few, and it looked like the power washer was gonna win, but in the end, I was triumphant. Wet and muddy, but triumphant. When at first you don’t succeed, always remember to read the instructions carefully, and read them again, and again until you’ve got all the steps down just right. That is all, I’m in veg mode until further notice...

@Fae Briona You have my deepest sympathies. I am glad your mom’s passing was peaceful and that you had SP by your side to support you. He may not be with you physically next time, but I know he’ll be with you in spirit and in your heart, and that will help carry you through. Take care

Goodnight with happy dreams of a better tomorrow... Personally, my DQ fave is the strawberry cheesecake blizzard. It’s been awhile...

I use the print screen feature on my laptop - handy for only posting what you want of the pic - and copy/paste it right into the text box. That’s the only way i can get it to work. Plus, I think the images are smaller kb that way. Have fun at the zoo!

Good morning everyone, I come to you today with this service alert. American peaches - also sold in Canada - are under a recall order due to Salmonella contamination. Wouldn’t you know it, I bought peaches for the first time this past week... That is all, so please carry on with your day. I hope it’s a good one for you.

I’ve got to live up to my name, so a reader, I shall remain. I’m very visual: in doing, in seeing, and in remembering. When I read poetry, or anything really, it’s as if there is a play carrying on in my mind’s eye. Seeing things that way affects my interpretations, I’m sure, but as I am free to interpret as I see fit, I am happy.

Good night tim...sweet dreamz tonight and always xoxo

I didn’t like having to find the meaning of something, and stressing would I get it right or would I get it wrong. Frankly, it was pure drudgery in those days. It’s much nicer to read it now. Even if a meaning alludes me, I can still find satisfaction in appreciating the skill of the poet.
-
So sorry, Fae. I know this wasn’t the news you were hoping for.
-
I found that reasoning to be liberating. Poetry ceased being a chore to read, because it didn’t matter that I didn’t get it “right” because I thought one thing while the poet - according to some scholar - thought something else entirely. And, this is how it should be. I’d even go as far as saying with surety more people would like poetry if this were so.
-
I remember - not when, but that you did - when you said this to me. It was if a light had been turned on. Before that day, poetry had always been presented as the artist’s interpretation of the words. My job was to figure out what that interpretation was. Giving me “permission” to interpret the words as I saw fit freed me to see the wonder and joy in poetry. A great gift that was, young tim.
-
The words will come out when they’re ready as they did today. They wanted to be just right, I think.

I’m a card carrying member of this club, and I’m happy to have a new member join.

tim, your words bring about such powerful feeling . I was feeling kind of sad and hopeless reading them, and then on a dime, my thoughts turned to smiles and a feeling of “yes!” and relief. There is something (very) good behind the clouds that lifted. As always tim, you make me see and feel with your words. Nicely done.
