Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

How many baseballs did they replace in our game today?

Yeah! The replacement keg arrived just in time!

We finally got our replacement shoes for the next dance.

Today is the big day for replacements of my old clothes. Yeah!

WOW! That new megaphone replacement is sure loud! The bleacher is vibrating every time the referee uses it.

Have a great day! HERS

Blogging Blogger, Daily Post comment, Yellow

Daily Prompt: Yellow

Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

Yellow is the sun.

Wow! The lemons are such a bright yellow.

Do you remember the song “Mellow Yellow” by Donovan? It goes like this:

I’m just mad about Saffron
Saffron’s mad about me
I’m just mad about Saffron
She’s just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

What is the meaning of “Mellow Yellow”?

According to Donovan’s notes accompanying the album Donovan’s Greatest Hits, the rumor that one could get high from smoking dried banana skins was started by Country
Joe McDonald in 1966, and Donovan heard the rumor three weeks before “Mellow Yellow” was released as a single.

Daily Prompt: Automatic

Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

My friend: BONG! Hey what happened with the door?
Me: Uh oh! The automatic door is not working today. Didn’t you get the memo?

Hurry up! We have to get to the laundromat to get the automatic washers, instead of the wringer ones.

Do you just do certain things automatically every day of the week?

Monday do your eyebrows
Tuesday color your gray hairs
Wednesday wash, dry, iron clothes
Thursday shop for new jeans
Friday meet up with friends at neighborhood restaurant
Saturday it’s time for the hair salon
Sunday after this week I need a break

When you see someone across the room at a party, your eyes meet and automatically see love birds over your head.

WOW! So many things are done by automatic deposits, withdrawals, reminders, invites, posts, calculations, issue checks, in this day and age what will come next????

Does anyone use pen, pencil, eraser, calculator, paper, typewriter, read a book, magazine, reports?

Have a great day! HERS

Daily Prompt: Devastation

Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

WOW! This word just takes my breath away! All over the world jpg_earth801 there is devastation with the weather. png_4068-cartoon-black-cloud-with-lightning

The devastation you feel when a love one passes away! Tears flow from all, but remember their time of dementia, pain, severe illness, etc are gone. They are now happy to be with the loved ones they have lost over the years.

Old saying: “It’s time to cry when a baby is born, it’s time to smile when someone dies their worries are gone.”

“When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your’re the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sorry this is it for me on this word. Too much going on all over the world and it’s not just with the weather!

Have a great day! HERS png_cartoon_girls_017

Daily Prompt: Oversight

Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

Have you ever worked for someone that always looks over your shoulder while your working?

You know what to do on the project, jpg_bird_01_canary but here comes the bosses assistant to oversee the project me and two (2) other people were working on.

I’m so sorry you didn’t get an invitation it was an oversight on my part.

Hey you! Since when are you overseeing this department? No one informed us. jpg_bpa0356

Aren’t you tired of overseeing this department? Then they transfer you to another department to oversight their projects. Then you are transferred again. The company should give you the title “Oversight Manager” with a big bonus with all the constant changes you have to handle.

I’ve learned to png_cartoon-character-dill-with-it-pickle-vector-art !!!!

Daily Prompt: Privacy

Posted on 2017-01-272017-01-27 by Hope

Daily Prompt: Privacy

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. large_happy-fish

Let’s see! Hmmmm! Privacy what’s it all about? Here’s what Merriam-Webster.com has:

1a : the quality or state of being apart from company or observation : seclusion b : freedom from unauthorized intrusion <one’s right to privacy>
2a: archaic : a place of seclusion
3a : secrecy b : a private matter : secret

What about their Thesaurus:
the state of being alone or kept apart from others privacy for a time, but eventually I miss the company of others> Synonyms aloneness, insulation, isolation, secludedness, seclusion, segregation, separateness, sequestration, solitariness, solitude. And much more.

All I have to say is I do like my privacy and I do respect others. People sometimes think I’m nosy but I’m not. Just concerned, want to know if I can help. Old (like me) saying”curiosity killed the cat”. cat-angel And that’s how I have learned over the years.

My son says: Really, really, really, you had to ask. Or MOM! The first time I went to a tattoo convention he told me “don’t stare”. I said REALLY! I stare in wonderment, you stare because (never mind about the rest).

The tattoo convention was really, really fascinating! Talked with some great artists and watched 6_29_15-005 them as they tattoo some amazing art. WOW! Learned a lot.

With that new exposure I learned a lot. Found out some people don’t like to answer or question. That’s okay I move along with my wonderment.

Have a great day! HERS worm
