    Seeing I don't have a child; and seeing I'm still a child, I keep them for me.

    I am with Delores and Lee. My childish things still have a (very big) place in my world.

    I have nothing (good) left from my childhood.
    But, I do have a heart and head full of fantastic fairytales and fables from worlds found in books of long ago.
    I like to recount stories, it's in my European blood, so I hope my (future) grand child/ren will enjoy them...

    The childish things are still in my memory which makes it easy to play Barbies and board games with my gr-daughters.

    Delores; my inner child is well satisfied with the stuffed chimpanzees and gorillas I have. Toys of course. I never had stuffed toys as a child, they were my sister's.

    Lee; of course you do, it's good to still enjoy the things that brought you your first happiness.

    Elephant's Child; here too, my childish habits rule. Reading, colouring, redesigning house plans I find in newspapers and magazines.

    Merle; and eventually your grandchildren will enjoy them in their turn.

    Vicki; spelling errors mostly go unnoticed here. I like the idea of your head and heart filled with fairytales and fables. You'll be a great fireside storyteller when your grandchildren come to sleep at Grandma's place one day. Like the story teller of long ago, who travelled from town to town with his tales.

    Ah, this comes into conflict with my desire to declutter! But I am keeping favorite books and the sweaters my grandmother knitted. Now I want them to go to my grandchildren. :-)

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.
