    Hi human, River,

    For the record, the dad was talking about a revolution. No wonder Calvin was um pawplexed!

    Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses,

    Joanne; I love Calvin because he is so much smarter than I ever was.

    joeh; my dad was a plumber and gas-fitter, but he could play music.

    Elephant's Child; I choose not to think about such things.
    fishducky; better wrap it up before you drip it out of your ears.

    Lee; great idea, we'll dance.

    Delores; it would me too, if I choose to think about it.

    Andrew; and probably dvds too.

    Merle; have you seen the comic where Calvin's dad explains why you close your eyes when you sneeze?

    Penny; of course! That explains it. I think.

    Mimsie; I'd be more inclined to bury my head in a good book to take my mind off it.

    Margaret-whiteangel; I would listen politely, then go read a book to forget.

Sunday Selections # 726

Image
 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. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...

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.
