Cowboy Curtains

                                                

I could feel tears in my eyes before I opened them this morning, so I kept them closed...

It was an early morning in December, my favorite season- so I wondered why I woke up teary eyed-

Although, I did recognize a warm feeling...It had a conflicting ring to it, one you never forget; because you feel great, yet confused about how to identify your emotions.

I wanted to keep my eyes closed and think of the cowboy curtains on my grandmothers drapes, the smell of honeysuckle vines in her yard, her dusty back porch, the clothesline, and the talkative morning birds.

What is The Worst Hangover You've Ever Had? (Tuesday's Question)


What Did We Do?
Bloggers answers are coming in...they're posted at the end of this post~ If you wish, you can pass over the first part of this post, click on "Read More," and read some great answers! 

I wonder how many people have said, "What did we do last night?" after the sun comes up the morning? I mean, people who have tied one on the night before.......laughing...Oh, it is the worst feeling, emotionally as well as physically, even if you did have a blast the night before.

Kris Kristofferson articulated it perfectly in the lyrics of one of his greatest songs, "Sunday Morning Coming Down." Because when you wake up after being intoxicated, it's scary to realize that the world twirls just as fast without you-

Hence, I don't think anyone says it better than Kris...

This Tuesday's Question is, What is the worst hangover or drunken episode you've ever experienced?

This is the first Tuesday's Question I've answered in some time, but I thought it was only fair that I answer this one, if I was going to ask you too-

Two things made me think of asking this question today, one was the upcoming holidays, and when an old friend contacted me on Facebook it reminded me of old memories.

It was great to hear from her because we've been close friends for decades, in fact the following story I'm about to tell you took place a decade ago. Well  now, you may be wondering why a close friend would have to find me on Facebook.

It's because she remarried and moved to another city, and in that time we lost contact with each other like people sometimes do. So, again, I was delighted to hear from her, as well as a mutual friend of ours, who helped me reach back in time, since she joined us on many of our late night adventures.

However, before I move on...I would like to welcome everyone to Tuesday's Question, and say that I decided to post a lighter question this week, but I didn't want to glamorize alcohol so it took me all morning to find the right graphic.

The Answer Is "Blowin' In The Wind"



I was going to post this song as the "song in my head today,'' but the version is so good that I didn't want to change the width on the video, so I decided to post it while I edit my next post entitled, "Who is Everybody?"

I hope you can return to read it, because I...well, I guess I should write it here in case, but I want to thank everyone who answered Tuesday's Question. Your answers are simply amazing, and I'm grateful that 'ya'll" are my readers.  I'm a little behind again, which I explain in my upcoming, unedited, three topic post... but, in case it passes you by, please know that I really appreciate your answer.

Have a great week-end! And remember to pour a little sugar on it...

What Book Was...?

 Hello, welcome to Tuesday's Question.  This Tuesday, Tuesday's Question is asked at the end of the post instead of the beginning. If you're new to Tuesday's Question, there's a note for you at the end of the post as well.  Plus, we already have two great answers...

Franz Kafka said,

"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”  `  

I had a hard time thinking of how to phrase today’s question.  I was going to ask you what was the first book you remember reading, and what you liked or disliked about it.  Hence, if you would like to answer that question you may, but I bet the title question will tell you why you felt the way you did about the book you read.

The first book I remember reading, is not my favorite book, but I will be forever grateful for having read it.  Because I couldn’t wait to go back to the library and find another story to step into; a new door to open, and new characters who I could laugh, cry, suffer, dream, and live with until the final word on the last page, and beyond.

Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light

She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free

For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well

Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination
