A double dip post today!
Weekword with John of The Healing Seed is Smile.
30 days of photos with this flock of red herrings. Today’s prompt is Lotion. A cruel prompt indeed. The only thoughts coming to my mind are not clean. I decided to bend the definition slightly. Lotion – liquid preparation having a soothing or antiseptic or medicinal action (the rest of the definition is …when applied to the skin.) I am choosing to ignore the rest of the definition. When I want to sooth my husband’s ire, I prepare a soothing liquid. Since our trip to Scotland, he has developed a taste for the whisky. A glass or two and my husband is more amicable to any suggestions I might have. Usually this results in smiles for both of us. I can not believe I was able to combine Lotion and Smile with a straight face and no sexual innuendos.
Some whisky was harmed in the making of this photo. I do request no one tell my husband I spilled whisky from this $50 bottle. If he finds out, I may be required to buy a $100 bottle to pay for the sin. This is why I drink cheap beer. Who cares if you spill some beer?
Good news which has me smiling:
I am going to be attending the Aiming Low Non-Conference next weekend!!!! So excited! My photos in the challenge have not been great but I hope to attend one of the photo walk sessions and soak up all the knowledge possible.

Booze! I like your take on the theme a lot. Mind if I have a drink while I’m here? Cause you know what the Qatari say about lotion, right?

Is it just me, or did I detect a hint of sexual innuendo in the line about pouring a drink and being open to suggestion in a way that leads to mutual smiles? I believe I did, Junebug, I believe I did. But I won’t say more, because you know how the Austrians are about lotion.
Nice take on today’s prompt.
I am going to have to agree with MikeWJ and say that there were definitely some sexual innuendo somewhere in the “A glass or two and my husband is more amicable to any suggestions I might have. Usually this results in smiles for both of us.” part of your post. Mmmmhmmmm.
You know, I have never had a taste of whiskey. Is this something I should try?

who knew lotion was so naughty. i think we all went there and then didn’t.
If that’s lotion, then I think we can all agree upon how the Irish feel about it. One lotion, please.

What are you talking about? No sexual innuendo? Pfft. I do love understatement and hyperbole ~ masterfully done.
(I thought of going this route but the only alcohol in the house is rubbing alcohol. Ewwwwwww.)

Great post Junebug and I am sure your “solution” to hubby’s ire is used all over the world. Big
