Do you like partying?
Attending parties?
Giving parties?
How about "observing parties" from a great distance?

YOUNG LOVE
Yesterday the newly engaged couple, grandson Dillon and lovely Courtney,
came and spent the day with this old granny. We had such a joyful and
glorious day with lots of laughter and lots of exchanges of information.
Courtney turns out to be a very good Wahoo player so everyone had
better watch out. I am happy and thankful for this day and for this
precious couple and the wonderful world ahead of them.

WFW ON THURSDAY
WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY on Thursday this week. Words are selected from groups offered on Elephant Child's each week for us to write a story or a poem. This is fun and everyone should give it a try. Use your way with the words and
post on her blog and on your blog if you want every Wednesday. If you give it a try be sure and say so in your comments so we can read your work.
To close out May I decided to pick both groups of words offered again by Mark Koopmans:
Espionage
Charger
Sheep
U-Bend
Dent
Fluoride
TITLE: The Spy by Granny Annie
The theme was ESPIONAGE
And it grew even larger
When the spy's cell phone died
He was without battery or CHARGER.
More than a wolf in the
Clothing of a SHEEP
He was disguised as a plumber.
The chip hidden in a U-BEND deep.
The attempt to remove caused a DENT
While the CIA spy only cried.
This world saving chip
Had been destroyed by FLUORIDE.
Heisenberg
Ceiling
Orchard
Velcro
Plenitude
Squiggle
TITLE: Day Dreaming by Granny Annie
She rested in the ORCHARD
Staring at the sky for her CEILING
Wondering if the HEISENBERG model
Was statistically appealing.
Suddenly apples fell around her
As if their VELCRO failed to hold
They were in great PLENITUDE
And covered the nearby road.
Worms began to swarm out
As toward her they did SQUIGGLE
She jumped up to dance and stomp
And away she did wiggle.

DOES MY SMART PHONE COUNT?
Question Of The Week 5-23-16
How long are you on the internet every day?
Changes in the wind said...- Probably a couple of hours but on the computer and not the phone:)
Jan said...- I'm one of those pathetic people whose life is on the internet.
LL Cool Joe said...- I really have no idea, probably too much as I sell stuff on ebay
too. I don't have a mobile phone though. I'm not on Facebook but
Pinterest can be a bit addictive. But I get done what needs doing so I
don't feel guilty and I never watch TV at all.
Olga Hebert said...- Too long!
Tabor said...- I spend about an hour reading and writing blogs, about 20 minutes
off and on with FB and another 20 minutes on emails. If I count
Netflix watching that is another 3-4 hours a week.
Barb said...- A couple hours a day - sometimes, I take a"break" and don't use technology much at all.
-
Elephant's Child said...
- Too much. Often.
Birdie said...- 45 minutes reading blogs then usually time doing geneology. 20
minutes doing e mail. I can watch Netflix on my TV or on my laptop so it
depends. All total, about 90 minutes.
Brite Mist said...- it varies for me 0 to 3 hours on various things
-
ashok said...
- My phone is always connected when Iam awake!
-
Arkansas Patti said...
- About 2 hours that is blog, news, information, email and shopping
related. My phone only makes calls and then just for emergency or when
traveling.
Brighid said...- Too long probably! Not on my iphone much, and I don't watch TV, so there is that.
Kerry said...- Maybe 2 hours? Seems like a lot.
G. B. Miller said...- Personal, about two to three total. Sometimes less. Work, 8 hours.

cube said...
- I have the TV on all the time, but it's mostly for the background
noise that I've been addicted to since my very first portable 19" black
& white Sylvania I got when I was a child. I have a Facebook and
Twitter account, but I'm hardly ever there. The computer fills up about
2-3 hours a day, but that includes reading the news, blogging and email.

Lee said...
- I'm connected to the internet 24/7...that doesn't mean I'm
actively on it all of the time, but I do spend a lot of time on writing,
researching, reading, etc....so I'm actively on the net for quite a
number of hours daily. I'm lost without it. :)
Lynn said...- It's hard to say - probably too much. :) I am connected at
work, but also look at my iPhone a lot there and at home. It drives me a
little crazy when I have either of my sisters in the car while I'm
driving and they have their faces glued to their phones.

Thanks for the blog visit. And just why wouldn't you attend the events??? You'd meet nice people and have a good time, in spite of yourself.
Most of my family and friends are terrific party givers, and fantastic cooks. I missed that gene.
