Use Your Words: Small Celebrations

Hey-O friends!

Today’s post is a writing challenge created by Karen @ Baking in A Tornado.  8 participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words for someone else to use in a post. All words must be used at least once. All posts will be different as each writer has received their own original set of words. No blogger knows who received their words or in what direction the writer will take them. Until today.  

My words are:

music ~ magic ~ dispel ~ dime ~ day-to-day basis ~ punish

This little man is graduating with his engineering degree in a few weeks. 

Now, as if by magic, he IS a man. I never can get over how quickly time passes. He's been working so hard in college, and now he's going to be on to his next endeavor.

We'd have to dispel the rumor that COVID-19 is ruining any graduating ceremony or party for him. It doesn't feel like a punishment to call off rounding up family, sending out invites, and expecting gifts from people he never sees.  We've always been a family without grandiose plans. For his high school graduation, Christian wanted to go to...a buffet. No joke. And he was as happy as a clam. I get that it is going to be truly difficult for many graduates this season; I'm so sorry for that.

I decided to plan out a truly grandiose party invite, and then change it up ala our "Stay At Home" orders that are in effect for the next little while.

Congratulations, Christian. Can't wait to celebrate with McDonald's or something. 

Happy Friday, friends. Please stay safe.

Funny Friday March 2020 : Meow

Funny Friday, March 2020

Today’s post is this month’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

Here’s today’s picture. It was submitted by Dawn of Spatulas on Parade.

Quotes from the Kitty to his owner:

1. "I'm not moving out of the way, Harold. Can't you see the sun is right HERE?"

2. "This 'Shelter-at-Home' thing of yours is really cutting into my ME time."

3. "So, can you 'Shelter-at-Home' in another room? Six feet of social distancing, Harold."

4. "Is it morning? Late Afternoon? Wednesday? I'm kidding. I don't care."

5. "I see you're wearing those sweatpants again. What's it been, eight days now? It's time to grab a Tide-Pod or a shower. I'm only saying this because I love you, and apparently we're going to be spending more time together. Now, go on. I'll be waiting for you RIGHT. HERE."


Stay safe and healthy, friends.
