I have a little story to tell

 about my little red-headed dolls, you all remember them?

Of course you do. 

left to right: Meg, Jordan, Riley and Gillian.

I'm sure you remember this particular photo:


A friend of mine asked for a copy of this to give to her doctor who was also flying little Ukrainian flags in her office. 

Another doctor who saw the photo asked for a copy from the first doctor who made one for her.

The second doctor took it with her and it is now with her in Ukraine where she is working with the "Doctors without Borders" team helping to patch people up who have been injured during this unnecessary war.

I am really happy knowing that my little girls are helping to cheer up people on the other side of the world.

      jabblog; that depends on what you call stories. I do sometimes show them doing things around the house here.

    That is WONDERFUL. Doctors without Borders is one of my favourite charities and they get money out of my bank account each month.

      Elephant's Child; I would love to donate but funds are very limited here. I think "no-one" donates.

    Bless Doctors Without Borders. They go into knowingly dangerous locations but have very little protection themselves.

    Small good deeds often cheer more people than we think.

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.
