About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

Murdo Grade School

 

These are more recycled questions from Teresa Grabs who was the Fibbing Friday originator :

  1. What is the most intelligent life form on Earth?  Duh. AI, of course!!!!
  2. Why did we really go to school?  For Recess.
  3. What did teachers do during recess? Oops. You aniticipated my answer to number 2! That said, I’m sure they sat at their desks missing us.
  4. How did you get to school? I walked…through wind, rain, snow, sleet…to my school which was directly across the street from my house. My parents never once drove me.
  5. What was life like before the Internet? Butterfly nets, basketball nets, net stockings, 
  6. What is the best thing about social media? No whiffs of bad breath.
  7. What is your favorite thing to put chocolate sauce on? My tongue.
  8. Doctors were all wrong…humans don’t need water. What do they need? Cheetos Torciditos.
  9. Dolphins are not mammals. What are they? The  second most intelligent life form on Earth, right after AI
  10. There is a Lost Dutchman’s Mine, but where is it? If we knew, it wouldn’t be lost, would it?

“The Big Empty”, for the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Wide Open Spaces

These are all photos of  the country around Murdo, South Dakota, where I grew up.  First, Interstate 90 which cut through the edge of the town, and the country just to the west of  town. The third and fourth photos are of the last piece of land my sister and I owned there which we sold a few years ago. It had once contained the last house my parents lived in  there which had since blown away in a tornado. Do these qualify as wide open spaces???
