    Those cakes are picture-perfect! One would be hesitant to cut into them, they are so beautiful!

    A very Merry Christmas, River...I hope much happiness, goodwill and love go your way. And a big Christmas cuddle to Lola, too.

    Take good care...and thanks for your friendship over this past year. :)

      Lee; I don't see how anyone could bear to cut into them, but of course they do. I wish a good 2018 for you and the furry loved ones too. I'll give Lola the cuddle later, she's asleep right now.

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.
