An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer. She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.

I love old photos! Its nice to see a few that are not so posed!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling it was supposed to be a bit more posed, but my grandma tried to make a break for it! At least that's what it looks like to me.
Deleteooooooooooo frist!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are! :-)
Deleteooooooooooo frist!
ReplyDeleteNope, you beat you. I don't know what's up with my comments lately. I've had some not publish, and others duplicate.
DeleteSadly, I never knew either one of my grandmothers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry.
DeleteHello stopping by from the a-z challenge. I love both of my grandmothers. One has passed away when i was in highschool miss her she was one of my favorites. I am now following you. Have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting! I'm off to go read the post on your blog now.
Deletesunflowers! I'd love to have even the tiniest success at growing sunflowers (which would, of course mean giant flowers!)
ReplyDeleteThat photo was from our garden in Washington state, where gardening didn't really require a green thumb. I miss the ease of growing things there!
DeleteI love the picture of Reno and baby Drexel! I got sidetracked when I read this post and emailed GDB to see if there is any way we can raise a puppy for them.

ReplyDeleteI think that puppy raisers for GDB are limited to western states, but they might be able to put you in touch with a guide dog organization that does use puppy raisers in your area. The other option, of course, is to move west! We could really use more puppy raisers in our local group!
DeleteGodiva-Chocolates!!! That's my favorite G-word! Sadly enough I haven't had those for ages. My days currently are in the G of Getting my butt kicked with fibro... (my worst F-word I can think of by the way)
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful Gs!
