It's been a beautiful day today - my almond and peach are blooming - I decided to walk across the old railroad bridge that's been converted into a walking and cycling bridge.
There were a lot of people who had the same idea -…
And another - Suicide's Auditions

Another one that has always stuck with me -
This one is from Mean Mr. Mustard. Chuck, I hope you get to move all your posts over.
(I had to delete many of the comments to get it under the 100,000 character limit. It's a stroll down memory lane seeing all the names of former members.)

MarkinKentuckiana commented on Rodney Roe's blog post My Life of Cameras"I wasn't trying to do panoramic. It's just whatever the camera settings on the OnePlus 1 were doing. Since I rarely use the phone for pictures, I don't think I've ever fiddled with the settings."

Thanks for your kind words about my banner - it was my idea but the boyfriend drew it and helped me immensely in getting it online.

Today was the day I finally gave up on OS--I'm a little slow on the uptake.
I shut out the lights before I left.

Kenneth Sibbett said… Sometimes I feel like an old soul. I really do feel we live on in some way, but not in any religious way, but a spiritual way. I think you have one too. I have most of my stuff on Readers. I was also on OurSalon before, but got a little mad and quit OS and this place at the same time. My wife stopped me. I have another story being published in Scene4 Magazine in October that I am really buzzed about. I'll be sure to send you the link. Thanks again for you kind words.
