Drifting through life

 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 Sean Jeating and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.contemporaries  2.easily  3.life  4.met  5.never and/or: 1.one  2.say  3.sentence  4.who  5.within use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun. Charlotte's colour of the month is Smoky Rose My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 9th

 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. Charlotte's colour of the month is Smoky Rose: which looks to me a bit like milk chocolate pudding Beginning today with this month's calendar pages: Isn't he magnificent in his top hat? drawing #1 #2 and #3 sent by "no-one" this cute little display under a tree "no-one" also gave me this cute little llama to take to the twins, but Astra has claimed it for herself "a fluffy little pony just my size,...

 I emailed jabblog (Janice) a few days ago to ask if she is okay as several of us were concerned that she had not updated her blog in a while.  I received this reply yesterday: Dear Elsie,  My apologies for my absence. Thank you so much for your concern. All is well here; I'm just rather busy and finding it difficult to pick up blogging again. I keep trying and failing, but hope to get going again soon. Breathless pauses all around . . . ;-) Hope all is well with you and yours.  Janice She's okay!! 😀😀👍👏
