Hi everyone, I haven't been around for awhile to read, write, or review. (taking a break) I have been working on my photography and dabbling down thoughts and tid bits in my journal. I certainly haven't forgotten all of my friends and your entertaining work. I so enjoy your stories. I'll still be around to review. Take care.

Merry Christmas to All. I know I haven't posted anything in months but I do still read your work and enjoy the profile thoughts. Take care. Linda I'm buying myself a recorder because it seems that my best thoughts come while I am driving and are quickly forgotten when the car parks in the driveway. LOL

Going to Athens, Georgia this weekend to see the grand kids and to pick up 85 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. (What we do for the babies) No, they aren't all for me. My friends in my dentist office bought most of them.

My goal for February is to read two to three new people every week. These are people on Fan Story that are not on my fan list. I have read recently the work of a lot of people who have been on this site for years that I have not read nor heard of. Thanks to Jax and Tab That's Me for starting the Picture This group and giving us a chance to meet and read new people. So I will read and review a few those work I am not familiar with. If you have a suggestion, let me know.

Hi Linda,
This may not be what you're asking for...but I have gone to the lowest poets on the list, and began to read some of their work...many have not posted much, but it is a way that I can read those writer's and see if there is some that I can encourage, even help!
After I try to keep up with my fans, I do take a few moments to read those writers that are not...
|
|
January 31 at 10:49AM
|
|
| Linda Engel: Yes that is a great suggestion. There are so many on this site and it would be nice to seek out talent outside of our comfortable circles. Thank you. Cat sent me a list of four people and what I have read , I am not disappointed.
|
|
January 31 at 11:01AM

|
| I am Cat: Awesome! Those are members who reviewed me, and I reviewed them back. I'm happy to pass them on as suggested reading!

I'll be cooking my "good Luck and prosperity" dinner for New Years: Collard greens, black eye peas, cornbread, pork chops, slice tomatoes, dressing, and pumpkin pudding. wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed New Year. I am so thankful for my Fan Story friends and have enjoyed your work so much. You've made my days in 2015 very happy.

mrsmajor: I may be late with this Holiday Greeting, but I'll come to your house for dinner anytime...I second that menu...the only difference, was sweet potato pie...instead of the pumpkin pudding...I wish you all the best for 2016, stay Healthy, and Safe...Hugs,

Christmas time should be a happy time. This one is a little sad for me. My best friend's mother passed away . Ms. Betty made the best sweet bread and butter pickles. I won't be spending Christmas with my hubby. I have to go to Athens and he can not travel that far. And I just found out that my best friend in Vermont is not well. So I didn't get to finish my poem this week and I am behind on reviewing because at work we are short handed and it's demanding. *sigh* I need lots of cookies.

This weekend I'll head to the north Georgia mountains for apples, cool weather and my grand children. I'll have five hours to compose a poem for the next challenge. I think better when I'm driving the back roads . There is no straight shot from Valdosta to Athens, GA and I hate the Interstate.
I'm leaving hubby home with the cat.

I am so far behind in reviewing. My husband, Fred, had back surgery on Thursday and is having a rough time with pain and discomfort. Today he was able to get up and shower and wash his hair. I big accomplishment. He is sleeping now and my eyes are about closed as well. It's like having a 230 lb baby but I love him. Exhausted and need more time...Linda

Annette Gulliver: It is exhausting looking after a loved one after such invasive surgery, but we do it with love, gladly putting aside our own daily routines. I hope he recovers soon, and that we see you again on FS. You take care and rest as well.
