As Laurita walked her dog along the beach she saw a notice saying it wasn’t allowed! She quickly scooped up its latest deposit and returned to the parking lot.
She spotted an advert for the restaurant Momma took her to as a schoolkid. She fancied a pizza! Her map said head north then turn right at the motel. But with all the detours and closed roads she musta got lost!
As she headed down Brynmore Road it suddenly appeared, but it looked like the roof had exploded! ‘Danger, keep out’ the signs said.
She reluctantly bid the Tavern farewell!

The signs I used in the order I used them!

For a moment, this reminded me of the song “Signs” (1971) by the Five Man Electrical Band.
I didn’t recall that song so I went looking for it – ‘sign, sign, everywhere a sign’ – now I see what you mean!
Poor girl- so
Many hindrances.
All that effort for nothing!
Tut tut
With so many signs, one is sure to get confused.
Great that she collected her dog’s deposit from the beach. That’s being responsible.
I agree, I wish more would follow her example on my local beach!
the tavern not looking its best)
It’s seen better days!
I see what you did there. Cleverly done, Keith
Thanks, Neil!
What a great idea to use some of those signs to write your story!
Thanks so much, Linda!
Keith, how very creative! I never would have thought to do what you did. Great little story and I feel sorry she was so frustrated in her efforts to have a good time that day.
All that effort for nothing! Thanks, Lisa.
You’re welcome 🙂
Laurita was doing all the right things…hopefully she will get some pizza next time. Great job, Keith sometimes all the signs in daily life are obstacles rather then help.
So true, Suzette!
You made a story out of signs. This was a great read.
It was fun to write! Thanks, Kritika,
Great one. Welcome 🙂
good post Keith
Great job! Using signs to write your story. Reminds me of another blog challenge we had here from years ago.
Well done!
Thanks so much, Sandra!
Now THAT is a most excellent use of the prompt and signs. Love it. Poor Laurita. Nothing worse when you get a hankering to eat something and it is no more!
There’s probably a McD’s around the corner, there usually is!
Right… By McD’s is rarely a good substitute
A great story, and entertaining read. Lovely sign language.
Sign language, I like that! Cheers, James!
It musta been some party blew the roof off. Seriously, good story, and I’m sure that place rocked when it was still a “place.”
I bet it did! Thanks, Mimi.
Dear Keith,
This sounds a lot like my fair city at the moment. Road blocks everywhere one turnes. Love your story. Clever use of the signs.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, Rochelle. Same here, driving aint what it used to be!
Driving these days is stressful! Cones, signs, closures.. roadworks. Nicely done, Keith!
The biggest curse we have is potholes, they are everywhere!
Same here, roadworks everywhere and potholes unfilled! Thanks Keith 🙂
Oh, that is so clever! I stared at the signs hoping something like that would grab me, but alas. 🙂 Well done!
Me too, so I thought I’d let the signs write a story for me!
That was fun. What a clever idea you had, and you wove the signs so well into the story that I didn’t realise that’s what you had done until I read your note.
Thanks Margaret, it was fun to do!
Well done.
what a clever use of the prompt! It turned out a nice story.
A really clever use of the prompt. Well played!
Fun idea to use the signs to guide your story! Nicely done.
