None, This Side of Heaven…

Daily writing prompt
What are your future travel plans?

Honestly, I don’t have any travel plans on the table at the moment. In fact, I haven’t thought much further than a working toilet, or food in the cooler, ever since the shutdown.

Aside from the heaven that I know awaits me, I’m more focused on surviving than I am about fun in the sun on some beach.

Sure, I would like to travel and do all sorts of things, but I’m not putting any energy into daydreaming about things I don’t have, when I can be focusing on that which is being prepared for me, as we speak!

Heaven is where I’m bound, so my travel plans are full up!

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…

Nuts Please…

Daily writing prompt
What would you change about modern society?

Right when I began reading today’s prompt question, our cheeky little neighbor came calling for his breakfast, so I snapped a quick picture of him.

It occurs to me that we should all take more time each day, intentionally slowing down, and appreciating all the little things… on purpose!

Modern society has become so dependent upon technology and moving ahead, we forget about the joy found in simple things, like feeding a wandering squirrel, just to watch him stuff his cheeks!

It Depends…

Daily writing prompt
What do you listen to while you work?

I bet this tightrope walker hears a lot of applause!

I don’t think this race car driver can hear anything, anymore.

My husband drove tractor trailers, and I know exactly what sounds he listened to all day, because I was with him. Truckers have potty mouths, mostly, and I don’t wanna talk about the things I heard inside those truck stops.

I’m guessing that farmers and outdoor workers hear all sorts of different things.

While I could do this all day long, I’ll go easy on everybody, mainly because I have work to do. What work is that, you ask? Why, I’m fake baking your morning cookies, and as per the prompt question, I am LISTENING to the pretend cookie timer going off… gotta go get em!

That was fast!

Here, have a cookie…

I upgraded my pretend Easy Bake Oven!

Souper Comforting…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your go-to comfort food?

I have been known to bake some rather yummy sour dough loaves, than I then pull out all the insides, turning them into edible bread bowl!

From there, it’s whatever the mood requires for comfort.

Sometimes, it’s some really thick and creamy Clam Chowder, with big chunks of potatoes and clams!

Other times, I feel the need for a little bit of my mamma’s homemade Chili… not too spicy, with a little sweet! Mmmmmm Mmmmmmmm!

There are those occasions, however, when it’s very cold and stormy outside, and I need some deep comfort, I’ll whip up pot of Broccoli Cheddar.

Remember all the guts of the bread loaves that I scooped out?

Well, I spread them on a cookie sheet, sprinkle some garlic salt, and other spices all over them, finally placing them in the oven to crisp. That is what makes all the soups comforting, if you want the truth!

Today, I’ve selected a cookie that always goes with the above mentioned comfort soups.

My famous Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookies!

If I told you what I make them with, you would need to enter a witness protection program. They’re that good!

Spoons…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

Nothing like combining a card game with some WWF Smack Down!

I loved it when the players head’s would knock together, when they reached for the spoons at the same time!

And, forget any friendly relations among neighbors. When it came down to that last spoon… someone was going to lose an eye!

Here, have a cookie…

No need to put somebody’s eye out!

I’ve got more…

It’s Too Hot…

Daily writing prompt
What foods would you like to make?

Honestly, when it’s so hot during the summertime, we generally eat cold sandwiches, finger foods that have been chilled, and drink lots of juice, using frozen fruit for the ice cubes.

I can spend hours chilling the RV down with our fans, and in one single use of a toaster oven or even the air fryer, we end up back where we started, having to cool things down all over again!

While I am quite capable of making a vast number of foods, the prompt only asked what foods I would LIKE to make. In this heat, I would not like to make anything, so I shall respond as the Cat In the Hat would…

I do not want to cook

No I do not!

I would not like to cook

Because it is hot!

No cooking in toasters

No baking in fryers

The only thing hot cooking does

Is turn me into a crier!

I will not cook it

I’m simply unable

I will eat it raw

Once it thaws out on my table!

Just sayin!

Take Your Pick…

Daily writing prompt
Dogs or cats?

All I can say is that a dog will pee on your pillow, when he is unhappy with you, and your cat would happily eat your face, if it found you incapacitated.

While both are equally adorable, they are also passive aggressive and underhanded, when they choose to do so.

So, take your pick… choose your poison…

In the end, it’s not so much which pet you pick… it’s more about the way you treat them!

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…

Take your pick!

You Startled Me…

Daily writing prompt
Which activities make you lose track of time?

Pardon me, but you gave me a start! I was just lost in my coffee with cream this morning, until this prompt popped up! What a surprise it gave me, nearly causing me to spill the beans… lolololololol!

Come on, admit it!

That was funny!

I can’t believe that I get to say this…

Get lost…

In some cookies, that is!

It’s Only Monday…

Daily writing prompt
What bothers you and why?

Dirty cards, WordPress, dirty cards…

Everyone knows that you don’t ask about how bothered a person is… ON A MONDAY!

What bothers me is the fact that WordPress asked me an annoying question on a Monday, of all days!

Wisdom dictates that negative questioning should be done on Saturdays! Folks have slept off their Friday, and don’t have to grumble about the next week, at least until Sunday night.

Think, Daily Prompt, think!

I’m Sticking With Just One…

Daily writing prompt
List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

As far as I know, there are no guarantees or certainties about anything, beyond birth and death!

That just doesn’t seem to make me feel better, at all!

I’m going with the one answer that I’m willing to stake my very soul upon, Jesus came… he died… and he rose again!

I refuse to live by fear!

I choose to live by faith!

There is only one way to the Father, an that is through his son Jesus Christ!

Jesus walks with me, he talks with me, and he tells me that I am His own!

Oh, Wait! I just gave you 11 things…. hmmmmm, that was easier than I thought it would be.

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie… or ten!
