A Mother's Weekend Smile

My favourite funny story about mothers involves mine and the mother of one of my childhood friends.

This happened about 1960, long before the days of cell phones.

Frances (my mother) called Florence (her friend) to arrange a lunch get-together. They agreed to meet at the club at noon.

At noon, Frances arrived at the club. She waited but Florence never showed up.

"What happened?" Frances asked Florence that night. "Why weren't you at the club for lunch?"

"I was there, "said Florence. "Where were you?"

Frances had gone to Northwood Golf Club and Florence had gone to The Primrose Club.

I still giggle thinking about this.

Nest

 

owls don't build nests

they renovate, decorate

someone else's home

(daily haiku prompt: nest)

April 23 Daily Haiku Prompts: grass, pears

neither grass nor pears

alas! weeds, I know them well

on Shakespeare's birthday

"As" by Stevie Wonder - live studio version

I needed some music therapy today, and this did Wonders for my mood. 

Hoppy Easter/last day of Passover!

weeds

 hills of yellow weeds--

dandelion profusion?

Dijon mustard plants

Unfriended

 Tariffs, tariffs, everywhere.

Annex our country? Don't you dare!

A border formerly undefended.

But now you're officially unfriended.

Former allies, no longer friends.

Elbows up, we fight back. This is where it ends.
