One Single Impression: Doodles


Doodles Done

Lines on paper tell
our deep subconscious revealed
mere doodles they be

- - - - - - -

My villainous mind
inscrutable meanings hide
every line is straight

SkyWatch Friday (my twenty-first) -- A couple more "out the car window pictures"

On the way home from grocery shopping, I took several 'out the window' pictures. This one came out best, at times like these I always am wishing for a better camera.

I had been to our local Ford dealer for a 2009 calendar. He found me a pretty nice one, it has the 2009 line of Ford cars. Some years they have antiques. I will try another dealer a half hour north of here. Theirs always come in late.



I focused on the cars and not the sky for this just so that those who wanted to see the red Plymouth might. I should have stopped there in the used car pre-owned sales lot and taken a closer one but I was hurrying along that evening.

It was a good thing I did hurry or I would have missed the sunset from the bridge picture.

General Statistics:
8533 Comments on all blogs (Yahoo mail won't let me refine anymore)
2086 Total posts, all blogs

Inactive or little used blogs:
JIM'S LITTLE HAPPY PLACE – 192 Posts (once a controversial blog with a different name--I couldn't tolerate the flaming and converted it to a HAPPY PLACE--then it went inactive as I couldn't care for and feed it properly)
me, old blogs never read, and . . . – 169 Posts -- A dumping place

jim's little Christmas tree farm – 102 Posts -- lots of Christmas trees earlier, now a few miscelaneous posts
What Susie Wrote on My Blog – 21 Posts -- while I was on holiday


FAQ:
Q -- Do you have a YouTube?
A -- Yes, Jim1Jim1. It has very sporadic posting with 19 Videos

Q -- Will you create a new blog this year?
A -- No plans at the present time. In fact I spend too much time blogging and would like to slow down and get better quality posts.

Q -- Then will you discontinue one of these three blogs?
A -- Right now, No. Later I may consolidate JIM'S LITTLE BLOG and JIM'S LITTLE PHOTO AND POEM PLACE. They seem to overlap.

Q -- But you have different readership on each blog, I don't want to leave the one I like and am accustomed to.
A -- That is the major problem with consolidation.

Q -- What would you like to do about consolidation?
A -- I have thought about moving everything to JIM'S LITTLE BLOG. Then it would lack organization so I think I am stuck the way I am.

Q -- You don't seem to read my blog very much anymore. Why?
A -- If you don't leave comments on my blogs I won't pester you (very much).

Q -- Can I ask more questions?
A -- Yes, just leave them in a comment. Request for me to remove the comment after reading and it will soon be gone.

Q -- What if I don't like to even show my comment, thought, or idea for even a short time until you read it. Don't you have an e-mail address?
A#1 -- Yes, I have several e-mail addresses. My blogging address is jhovendic[at]yahoo[dot]com.
A#2 -- I also have one moderated comment page (click here) taking private comments. It was intended for anonymous questions to Ask Dr. Jim (blog) but you also could use it to remain anonymous.

One Single Impression: Welcoming


Welcoming

A planned child she was
month early conceived
practice run made good
July's child we made




Expecting a boy
we named him Festus
loved him sight unseen
every day we cooed

Seven scheduled time
hospital to come
to meet him that day
impression we make

Festus came okay
our little he was
a cute little she
home for her we made

Three score years have passed
cycles do repeat
for him her and us
grandson now she makes

welcome world we say
