    I love this idea ... you should make it a meme so others could be whimsical with you. I am definately enjoying your "Thesaurus".

    haha I didn't even realise they could read back then!!! Perhaps I should begin to use our thesaurus...I know there is one somewhere in the bookcase.
    Thanks for the laugh and love the 'newsy' dinosaur.

    And now I am wondering what the eight character word could be... I love my dictionaries and thesaurus. Thanks River - this is a beauty.

    Mimsie; I can't imagine not being able to read. If you do crosswords, you'll value your thesaurus.

    Elephant's Child; my thesaurus has phyllite, xenolith, felstone, obsidian, porphyry, mudstone, hornfels, pumicate, rhyolite and others. Probably many of the crystals and other quartzes have eight letters, like sapphire.

    Kymbo; glad you thought so, that's my aim.

    The Wicked Writer; I find it easy enough to say, but I have a friend who keeps saying theo-suarus.

    Cute cartoon! I have dictionaries and thesauruses within easy reach of my computer. Somehow, words that are trying to pop into my head need a little more help getting there these days than what they used to.

    Manzanita; so we're both perky today.

    Susan; I have two dictionaries and two thesauruses within arm's reach. I used to keep one of each at work when I worked in the factory, to help with my lunchtime crossword.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 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 (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
