Drifting through life

  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles.

Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often.  Beginning today with one reason for the holes in saucepan handles: followed by my two newest coffee mugs: Meg and Jordan Riley and Gillian, all standing up supporting Ukraine  Fly Free, flutter, flap, Stay Free. Please, please be free forever. this is a faded old "fire truck" that usually sits on my front porch with plants in it I decided it needed refreshing, only to find the metal badly rusted almost to the point of di...

Here is my story, continuing on from last week: As Mum and Rosie oohed and aaahed over various rooms and furnishings, Christopher stayed back a bit with me and asked quietly, “so you do remember the day we met?” “Of course,” I said, “but I didn’t think you would. I was a girl and you were already a man of twenty.” He stru...
