Drifting through life

  Charlotte's colour of the month is Ocean Twilight 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 River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.trembling  2.bobbing  3.rescue  4.green  5.redhead  6.potato Here is my story, another chapter from God's Observation Deck: God’s Observation Deck Chapter 13 God had been pacing the length of his observation deck all morning and Mary was at her wits end. “You know how this goes, you know it takes time.

 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. walking home from a dental appointment recently I noticed this pile of concrete blocks and a badly dented bus stop shelter somebody really rammed that thing The concrete blocks were a low fence,and I recalled hearing several sirens screaming along Fullarton Road a few days prior.

Brandishing a rusty old shotgun, he threatened to “let both barrels loose on ya!” The younger man opened the door of his jeep and waved a white handkerchief. “Grampy! It’s me! Sammy!” He stepped down slowly and took off ...
