A Couple More Evershades that Caught My Eye

I ran into these and felt certain that I would need to share them as a part of my Evershade series (see HERE). 

This first is from Sensual Words and goes quite well with the image above. And like the others in this post is a bit tweaked. 

Several Short Evershades

I ran into a few more Evershade lines (see HERE), some of them just short one liners. One shaders so to speak. 

The first is from blue monk. A simple one liner. Simple and so true. When you’ve met that person with the perfect eyes, perfect scent, perfect everything,  . . . Then they smile,  . . . We all know that feeling. It burns into you and you never forget it. 

Follow Up - One Off

So, it looks like I may have been off by one game (see here). I will NOT be getting a jeep from this year's ridiculous bet. But, I was close. 

I thought the first game would be the one that could go either way. It went the way of the Texans. I'm a tad surprised by Urban Meyer. I thought he would be a better coach. Looks like he had lots of people snowed. 

Another Race Novel Idea

As you know I used this space for cataloging and filing away ideas for future novels. I ran into one of those ideas this morning while reading the WSJ (see HERE). 

This one was about an ultra-marathon race in China that went horribly, horribly wrong. 21 of the over 170 runners died. It's an amazing story to read, with some incredible pictures. What surprised me was that it wasn't a blizzard, or white out, or snow storm per se, so much as it was just plunging temperatures. 

Yet More Shade

 I've been on a tear lately, throwing out more of these Evershade lines (see HERE). They just really help me in some sort of way. So, here are some more!

The first is from Will Rogers via Cafe Camille. (why do so many of these people have such wonderfully witty profile names? Maybe there's a string I can do on that!)

Evershading More

Yet another entry for the ole Evershade file. These are pretty decent if you ask me. Just like all of them (see HERE).

Evershad-ed Even More

As I continue to add to this ever growing list of great, romantic, lines I catalog them here in my Evershade label (see HERE) and I think they're always worth reading again. 

That being said, I've got some new ones . . . and I'm looking forward to reading them again too soon!

This first is from "Just Kate" which is a terrific profile name. And it's a terrific line.

In my heart we were a lifetime

In yours we were simply a moment

Ah, man! That hits me! Does it you? It shows the disparity between expectations.

Tiger-Tom via Top Shelf Bourbon Elf wrote this next one, and I can't agree with the sentiment more.

If you have to beg someone to be in your life,

They don't deserve to be there.

Damn skippy! 

And finally, since these things tend to come in threes, I have this one from CoffeeCurves.

Just once

Show me

What a tender touch feels like

Just once

Show me

What it's like to keep your word

Just once

Show me

What it feels like to hold and be held

Just once

Show me

What it feels like when someone stays

Evershade, evershades , ever shade, ever shades, shades of Betsy

A Bit More Evershade

HA! Although this isn't typical for the Evershade series I like (see HERE), this did make me laugh. I've always loved Helen Mirren. She always looks like she's having a good time in life, and I would love to think that others look at me and think the same thing. Maybe I need to channel my inner Helen Mirren spirit more often.

There are couple more I've found that do fit the series a bit better. 

More For The Evershade File

So, anyone who reads this knows just how much I love these Evershade posts (see HERE). I go about my day looking for those things that speak to me . . . Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, books I read, Reddit. They're out there and they all speak to me. I love em. And I contribute my own to the universe and to this blog. 

Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock, who has an amazing profile name, wrote about the best feeling in the world. We've all felt that haven't we? And when we do, it's like nothing else. 

The best feeling in the world is to be with someone who chooses you every day, not just when they are in a mood.
