I was deeee-lighted that Grace wanted to give Pickle Pie a try and she sent a bonus envelope rather than waiting for the next exchange. It's really fun to compare all the different interpretations of one idea. Now I want to find another style that will pique some interest in something fun and colorful.
On one of MrWilson's food pantry days, he was going to be gone for many hours so I had him fire up his scanner and started scanning all my fonts so that I can post more on the blog. I did about a dozen - they were PDFs and then discovered that I can't upload PDFs to the blog. Grrrr. I need JPGs. It took a while to figure out how to do that - but I had used up my energy for that project for the day.
Alternative to scanning - slogging through the ancient files that were on his computer from the olden days (anything prior to 2015) when we shared a computer. At the time - he was still going to the office - so it was easy to share. I need to save whatever I need off that computer - so - the slogging started.
Memory lane. I cannot begin to tell you how much amazing stuff I found. Here's one of the highlights.
Pangram Haiku - I can't even pick a favorite -- they are so good - and I have no idea where I found them.
Oh - wait - I can Google. 10 seconds later. Bingo https://www.marksimonson.com/notebook/view/PangrammaticHaikus
Lost in flight, quiet.
Yellow jacket reproves me.
Vexed, I buzz away.
Mosquito buzzes
around jackal’s furry paw.
So vexing, that bug!
Read ye my haiku!
Strong, living words dazzle. Jump
back, quietly fixed.
Haiku verses flow
like a bad, exacting quiz.
Too jumpy, yet fun.
The ax swerves, tree dies:
Quite a lop job, so crazy.
Man kills for nothing.
Wise raven in tree
Spies sly fox dozing. Gives him
Loud quack. Bejeezus!
Your quick wit doesn’t
Faze me. I can’t help your jive!
Go back to de-tox!
I love haiku. Here's one of mine.

Like tiny fairies dancing
In the sun swept air
