Hi Everyone!

Ahoy! Come aboard the mighty ship of, hmm I forgot the name.
Hey, Salty Jack look over the side and let me know what the name of our ship is.

I! I! Captain Sparrow!!!!
Captain Sparrow ship’s name is Rocking Robin.
Rocking Robin, who in the heck gave the ship that name?
Me, my darling husband, after I saved your life with all the back and forth between our ship, Black Beard’s ship, then to Anne Bonny’s ship, over to Captain Kidd’s ship, then to Barbarossa Brothers ship, where we almost lost everything, including our ship.

Thanks to our mighty and faithful crew we made it through the seas. Now it’s time to celebrate and to share our rewards. Thanks to our mighty and faithful crew we made it through the seas. Now it’s time to celebrate and to share our rewards.

Word Salad Bar – Pink

Posted on by Hope

I can’t believe what I am seeing!
It just can’t be,
A pink mansion, no it ‘s the glass in my sunglasses,
Sunglasses off. Oh my gosh! It is a pink mansion.
As we walk inside and before my eyes I see,
a pink elephant here, below an indoor pink window with a unique bubble design,
turn my head and guess what I found,
another indoor pink window with a unique bubble design, with another pink elephant.
Walking through the hallway we hear people’s voices,
Lo and behold, everyone we know is there.
Guess what they are looking at?
Yes a pink elephant, under an indoor pink window.

Indoor pink, the glass, people’s voices, these words are from Creative Word Prompt #4 by Wolff Poetry.com

How about

This will brighten anyone’s day when they walk into a room.

Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arranging. There are a number of different schools of ikebana, each with its own unique requirements. The requirements can involve angling stems in a certain way or choosing specific kinds of arrangements for different types of vases. The flowers used in all the schools are similar. Certain flowers have symbolic meanings in Japanese culture. Combining different flowers gives each ikebana arrangement a symbolic meaning.

Hi Everyone!

They are the happiest couple I have ever meet.

I have never met a person so optimistic than Nins.

Look at that sanguine rose. It’s a deep blood red color.
Symbol of passionate affection.

Red hibiscus symbol of love and passion. I believe it falls into the sanguine color category.

Snoot

Posted on by Hope

Hi everyone!

Do you know anyone that comes up to you and says and talks, talks, talks? Then all of a sudden they stop! It’s time to getaway!
Then you here “Did you know?”
Me, you would think I had learned my lesson from the last time Mrs. Guilderfess was at the art museum fundraiser. She sure is a “snoot“.

Hope: Hey Nins! Look whose walking her dog this morning.
Nins: I don’t believe it.
Hope: Nins, who are you calling?
Nins: Abby of course, she won’t want to miss this. She has such class or at least she thinks so with that outfit.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I have to take a picture! He’s so snobby with me and my family. We have been neighbors for twenty (20) years and he has never smiled, say hi.
But that doesn’t stop me saying hi. Or how are you Mr. Guilderfess? Missed you at the museum fundraiser last week. I always have a smile and a pot of tea ready just in case he takes my offer for some “Earl Grey” tea.
He’s not as snooty as his wife.

Have a great day! Hope

Peacherino

Posted on by Hope

Hi Everyone!

Wow! Look at that foxy lady walking down the street!

Those peach-colored roses are so beautiful.
Come on let’s see if they have a peachy scent.

Back in 1910 “cute girl” was called peacherino,
Back in 1920 “sheba”, “whistle bait”, “zazz girl”,
Back in 1940 “dolly”,
Back in 1970 “fox”,
Back in 1980 “hottie”

Peacherino is a US slang word meaning a particular person or thing.
What or who is your “peacherino”?

And let me not forget the men that are “dreamboat”, “ladies man”, “babe magnet”.
So ladies who is your “peacherino”?
