Drifting through life

 a Musical Monday! Doug Anthony All Stars (DAAS) Throw Your Arms Around Me

 Long ago, in days of yore...Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if overseas bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to Elephant's Child and have a look. a view from my front porch: blue skies with a hint of white clouds and yellow roses the girls were playing cards in a patch of sunshine when I told them a package had arrived for them they hurried up to the table to see an envelope with a drawing of socks and the word socks on it.

 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by Cindi and can be found here This week's prompt is:  A picture is worth 1000 words. Write at least 100 words about the image below. Here is my story: 254 words Danny had been rummaging around in the big suitcase for his pyjamas when he noticed the lining coming away from inside the lid. A corner of paper was sticking out, so he pulled it all the way out and found it was an old photograph. He looked on the back and saw someone had written Diane and Daniel September 1965.  He crossed the room to where hi

Inside: what is this? Jordan and Gillian: "we made Blanket-Henge" Meg and Riley: "because we can't make Stone-Henge, which we read about in a book" then they all followed me

Drop in to Elephant's Child and have a look. Lola, "again with the camera, let me sleep in peace, please." the day was warm so the girls shed their cardigans and greeted the fairies, "what are your names please?"
