“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks into mine”, a quote from one of my favorite movies.
Yes I do think this could be true. In fact I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just how things go in life.
As I reflect on things I’ve never had a “CASABLANCA” moment in my life. I do have songs that remind me of people and memories of the past.
I see someone who reminds me of someone and it triggers memories.
There are quite a few movies I do watch over and over and “CASABLANCA” is one. The other is “GONE WITH THE WIND.” In fact for almost close to forty years I’d read the book every April. Why April? I never figured out why. Funny I used the same book as basis for projects in college. You think this is odd “well frankly I don’t give a darn” (yes I cleaned up the phrase).
As I thought about Terry’s daily word I decided I know nothing about birds at all. In fact this is the second day I’ve gotten a history lesson on animals.
The wacky holiday was easy as I thought about a Medal of Honor recipient and how someone should have taken them out for a meal today.
My pieces are just thoughts on aging and seeing someone from the past. Actually the “CASABLANCA” movie inspired it. Seeing someone from the past you thought you’d never see again. The second is based on how a woman only has herself to give. Her mind, her love and soul but it seemed the object of her affection wants more.
It’s Friday!
Until tomorrow....have a great day and as always Stay Safe.

AGING
Her heart thumped wildly
at the sight of him
she wondered if she should stay or go
Will he recognize her after all the years
Platinum blonde hair replaced the
golden blonde
Ten extra pounds change the body
glasses in place of contact lenses
Thirty years changed him slightly
he still looked good
Some age better than others
she’ll bide her time to find out
whether he’d approach her
🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
ONLY HERSELF
His slightest touched sent chills down
her spine
Butterflies formed within her
It’s been years since anyone affected
her
But she knew it a one sided attraction
prettiness isn’t always the factor
A pleasant personality meant little
She had nothing of value to offer
but herself
🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
BLACKBIRDS
Never heard of a grackle
Perhaps I’ve seen one
Don’t know one blackbird from another
But I can recognize a raven

WACKY HOLIDAYS MARCH 25th
(National Medal of Honor Day; National Lobster Newburg Day; Waffle Day and Pecan Day)
To all those Medal of Honor recipients
thank you for your service
It’d be nice for someone to treat you
to a lobster Newburg dinner
Or even a pecan waffle breakfast
