A Long Time Ago…

My niece and nephew

In a galaxy…
er…um…Buffalo, NY
nineteen years ago

There they are adorable two-year-olds all dressed up for their Aunt and Uncle’s wedding. Wonder what happens in nineteen years?

Wonders why he is
still single when he wears an
I pee in pools shirt

Ha-ha the #haikuchallenge word today is single. In case my nephew hasn’t figured things out on his own. 😉 This photo was perfect for a haiku this morning.

Yesterday we had a nice picnic at Nonnie’s house. Caitlin and Mack met again after almost 19 years. We also saw my cousin and uncle for a little while. And we had Sahlen’s hotdogs. Nothing like bribing your nephew to drive up from Fort Bliss with some good ole Buffalo, NY hotdogs. He’s heading back to El Paso this morning. He has a dozen hotdogs with him, hoping it’s enough for one cookout back there.

Wordle Me This… Vestige

Heart left cavernous
Clings to vestige of loved ones
Momento mori

The Reverie Journal Wordle Me This #3. And so it goes… We had a nice Thanksgiving.  My mother-in-law drove over from El Paso to join us and my uncle and cousin came as well. This Monday I went out and did some Christmas shopping. I can’t believe it’s December already! Rachael has been busy studying for her college finals and Gretchen did her independent book report and is practicing for the school Christmas concert. My dad will be flying in tomorrow to visit for a week. He’ll be here for the concert on Tuesday. Then my mother-in-law will be back for Christmas. Hoping 2015 will be a better year.

Pei Wei – Poetic Review WESat

Pei Wei

Perfect additions
Egg rolls – pork, cabbage, mushrooms
In crispy wrapper

Whet your appetite
Exotic flavors pervade
Intriguing palate

WESat – Write a review about a meal. I think most people can figure out the restaurant I wrote about. Now I want Chinese food even though we just ate there last weekend. I love the fact I am able to walk to my favorite restaurant.

Grocery List Twist – Pantun

Grocery List Twist

Milk, chicken, butter, eggs was in need of some spice
Every week I write the same, humdrum grocery list
Unpacking the bags; it sat, and made me look twice
Sexy man written in jest was given a twist
