Drifting through life

  Charlotte's colour of the month is Steel Blue . I wonder what next month's colour will be? 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 messymimi and can be found here as well as on my blog This week's words/prompts are: 1.attention  2.vague  3.orbit  4.game  5.think  6.insistence and/or: 1.single  2.brand  3.barrel  4.bless  5.stake  6.cap Here is my very-short-written-in-a-hurry story: My attention had been scattered all day, my mind had been off in its own orbit for several hours at a ti...

 😢😢 Dolly Parton has died, aged 80, just six years older than me, this woman did so very much in her time on this earth and will never be forgotten. I remember her on The Muppet Show talking with "Miss Piggy" (photo borrowed from Google Images, thank you to whoever put this there.) and in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Burt Reynolds. It's a comedy and I laugh so much everytime I watch it. Ignore the vertical green line, this is my own DVD copy of the movie which I will watch again tonight. Other movies include Steel Magnolias,  Wild Texas Wind,  9 to 5, Rhinestone, with Sylvester Stallone, Unlikely Angel, A Smoky Mountain Christmas and more, plus appearances in several Television series too. Dolly supported many charities and even started one herself: Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, a free book-gifting program which has branches in many countries including Australia. You can find it online to learn more about it. I believe she sta...

 so here goes.... How's that? or in Australian.. Howzat!!

 Long ago, 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 other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. one more stobie pole with wattle flowers and one with something yellow.. advertising the Fullarton Market, which is a Farmer's Market/Community Market, held on the third Saturday of each month, though I think it gets cancelled when there is heavy rain. I have been a few times, though not lately, it is more interesting if one visits less often. a very frilly hibiscus early morning sun highlighting the security screen on my win...
