Today we join
We are very Thankful for the invitation to visit our friends last week. 2020 was the first time we did not take our annual trip to visit since 2009. Memories are made with each visit. One of my favorite things each visit is sipping my first cup of coffee in their sunroom while looking out at their hobby vineyard and listening to the birds. When grapes are ready folks come to pick. My friend calls them 'grape nuts'.
to the back they have a babbling creek
Thoroughly Poetic Thursday hosted by
Angel Sammy and Teddy for the inspiring photos they find for us
Here is our inspirational photo is
I was dared to give it a try
My reply was oh MY.
Upon close examination I spied
raw onions which I will not try!!
Then I was double dog dared
I bent over to give those onions a practiced
Jenga yank.
The tower of meat, 'maters, cheese, lettuce, special sauce and bread
landed like a tank
Upon my head.
THE END(I heard all those thankful sighs)
Your friends are fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. Does anyone make wine from the grapes?
ReplyDeleteWe just new that Jenga yank would end badly...
we love the first coffee in the morning too... and with that view it is the sign for a super day!!! ...raw onions? we are with you... nooooo way :O)
ReplyDeleteYour friends have such a beautiful yard. No raw onions here either!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning spread you pals have - quite the sight to wake up to! Onions.. blah! (mind you, there is lots about that tower that I would be yanking - that would bring it down to size!!!) YAM xx
I was just thinking of squashing that tower to try and fit it in my mouth. Might need a sledgehammer though!

Condiments in your hair?
ReplyDeleteCheese melting on your face?
Why did that onion dare?
To so messy-up the place!
Your friends have a beautiful place, glad you enjoyed your visit.
ReplyDeleteOh no, not the Jenga yank! Who would ruin that beauty with raw onion to begin with?!
What a beautiful place your friends live at. Not a bad view any time of the day from there. We loved your poem and feel the same way about onions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to have your first cup of coffee. Beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem. That sandwich makes me a bit ill just looking at it.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Big hug, honey. ♥
Yeah, no raw onions here either.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful property and vineyard. That would be a great way to stay busy! Happy you got to visit. It's been good to see people we haven't seen for way too long!
Your friends are lucky to have such a wonderful place to live.
ReplyDeleteThat giant burger? Dad would eat that with extra onions. Chester would eat it without the onions. I might have that chicken patty on the bottom, and maybe a couple pieces of bacon.
Such a pretty place and I'm so glad you had a good time. That was a giantly good poem too. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

ReplyDeleteWe are so happy to hear you had such a nice visit. That is a lovely view for that morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun poem!!! Sorry to say, but our Mom is an onion lover:) Raw or cooked. She says any good sandwich has to have a slice or two of onions to make it perfect.
