Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday #7


Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 
Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.


Here is today's inspiration





ONCE....

way back in time, there were Pioneers...
Men and women...full of grit and  gumption
They hitched their faithful horses to packed wagons.
To head west to parts unknown.
Dreams of life full of adventure, big skies and rich land.
Homesteads were claimed, shelter built, crops planted..
Life for these brave men and women hard
what they accomplished was Grand!!
2020  all that remains:
Is  Population of One and this 
Little House on the
PRAIRIE.

Thankful Thursday


Normally we eat out on Tuesday morning.  I am never home for the big event; however,
it was raining in NC so we decided to stay home for breakfast.
I am thankful I was home and I'm thankful for everyone who makes
Tuesday Teaser such fun.


For the 2nd time in my blogging career.......

Being first to comment is almost as hard as guessing who and where the mystery photo was taken

  1. Hey, we're there first here today. Hooray!
    The resident of Lost Springs must be a bit lonely (or a hermit).

  2. The only way we'd be first is if my momma stayed up REALLY late, MOL!

  5. Mom loves her space and privacy but being the only family in the entire town must be pretty lonely and this does remind us of Little House.

  7. Especially in the wintertime, Mom will talk about how she cannot imagine living here without all the modern conveniences. Those pioneers had a tough life.

  8. At least no one bothers that person in the little house. I guess one would stay busy just trying to survive. Hope all of you have a super day.

  12. Concatulations! Good things sometimes happen when our "routines" change! We love your poem for the photo this week too - For all we know this little town was booming at some point in its' "life" and now - down to one - and we have to wonder WHO that one is.

    Hugs, Teddy (and Mom too!)

  16. GW remembers reading Little House on the Prairie when in grade school. She still loves those stories.

    We had a big breakfast today for a change. But it was at 10am. Would you call that brunch? That was to get ready for shoveling all that snow that's falling now.

  17. The folks who chose to tame that wilds of this country were truly amazing people. Trailblazers, one and all.
