Words for Wednesday ~ February 28

This challenge started a long time ago. Now it has turned into a movable feast with Elephant's Child as our coordinator; and the Words provided by a number of people.

The general idea of this challenge is to make us write. Poems, stories, subtitles, tales, jokes, haiku, crosswords, puns, ... you're the boss.
Use all Words, some Words, one Word, or even none of them if that makes your creative juices flow. Anything goes, only please nothing rude or vulgar.

 It is also a challenge, where the old saying
"The more the merrier" holds true.

So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.

The prompts for this last Wednesday in February are provided by Lissa, and made public at her blog.

For today we had these words:
Tomorrow
Coffee
Direction
Echo
Sunshine

I continue from HERE. Initially I would have written more about the Sunday breakfast - as more people asked about it - but I ran out of steam on my way there.

"Live like there's no tomorrow ..." Susan read aloud as she cut off the thread from Heidi's sweater, "... That sounds like a very bad plan, I think. Why are those magazines always so  ... contradictory or watyamacallit? Diets and then four pages further on they have tempting recipes for cakes and pies. Strange one-liners like that one and an article on planning your summer holidays with no stress. I do not really get it."

"Neither do I," Heidi said, "but I get one thing. I can smell mom's coffee so breakfast will be ready very soon. Are you done with the sweater?"
"Yes, I'm done," Susan answered, holding up the sweater. "The mending is almost invisible, and after a wash it will be."
 "Fabulous! Thanks a load!" Heidi said and pulled on the sweater. "If you never make it as a witch, you can open a mend and repair-shop."
Susan was about to become mad, but then she looked at Heidi's face, and realized that Heidi actually meant what she said and was not teasing. Before she could find an answer, Sandra called from downstairs, and the two apprentice witches set off direction kitchen.
They met Tage and Lis at the stairs, still sleepy eyed, but more than ready for one of their mom's Sunday breakfasts. 

The kitchen was filled with delicious smells, coffee, waffles, scrambled eggs, home-made buns, jams and honey all vied for their attention.

They ate until they could not eat any more, and then the kitchen echoed with their thanks and praises, as the four apprentices ran out into the frosty sunshine on their way to lessons at the Unicorn Farm.

  2. That's a lovely story of a morning. I agree about the magazines, each month the articles contradict what they said the month before.

  3. I like a big breakfast in the morning too. Not much of a coffee fan. I guess Susan and her friends drink coffee? Good use of the prompts.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. Yes, they all drink coffee, smaller kids, like Heidi and Susan, will have more milk than coffee and lots of sugar. As they grow, the coffee to milk ratio is adjusted, adn sugar-levels lowered. No coffee ever tasted as good as my grandma's "coffee" when I was a preschool kid :D
