Those yearly tests are probably keeping folks alive. I often ask folks about when they are going to give up their keys. We are fortunate to have alternatives in this town.

I forgot about this contest. I've entered in the past.

Although such events as the one you witnessed can be horrifying, it’s also a privilege to see Nature in the raw, isn’t it?

Thank you for visiting and for your comments. I’m enjoying this contest very much, sharing old almost forgotten memories.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, we do have a very pleasant time on a Wednesday morning each week. There’s something about an all female group of writers that’s different to a mixed group. We’re all very sensitive to each other’s feelings whilst not afraid to comment and suggest ways to improve our writing. We’re very lucky.

Sounds lovely! Those photos are beautiful. I love the the little cottages. What a pleasant time you ladies must have had in that venue. 1896 cottage.

My house dates back to the late 1830's. I call it my money pit, though!

How beautiful the backdrop is with the local inhabitants. Kangaroos, and exotic birds!

Marilyn is quite the iconic name for a pig. I love how your mother decided that based on the swaying hips.

Nasty guy hitting poor Marilyn! So glad your mom stepped up and told him what's what.

This was a sweet story. I could picture proud Mama Marilyn trying to feed a Baker's Dozen worth of piglets.

Talk about power-Mom!

Nature does what it does best. Something is food for something else. I saw that in Florida. A hawk nabbed a dove in midair over the lake outside my window. Thankfully it didn't land on my shore but went a bit further past my neighbor's place. I saw it pluck all the feathers off the bird. It made a perfect circle of feathers then proceeded to enjoy its meal until an Egyptian Goose flew down in front of it scaring it off. Of course as nature does, the goose was protecting its goslings close by.

I have a collection of VHS tapes and an old television that plays them. If they are personal tapes that need to be digitalized I have no clue.

"The Bard's Hall Contest"

Today I decided I’d write an alternative ending to my contest entry into

SURVEY

Tales Shown, Not Told Contest

(E)
A short story contest from the Crosstimbers Author Association.

I’m going to read both endings out to my Wednesday group of lady writers for their opinions. I actually like both of my endings of this story so I’m feeling conflicted.
This morning I spent making cakes for tomorrow’s singing group. Although there is satisfaction in seeing the finished product, my preference would have been to sit and write.
The house is full of the smell of baking, which is rather nice. I rarely bake these days as there is just the two of us now and we truly can do without eating cakes and slices.
My husband has just returned from his annual driving health assessment. He’s just given me the thumbs up, so he must have passed with flying colours.
On attaining the age of eighty it is mandatory to have this every year. The test includes mental acuity, ECG, and sight and hearing. My neighbour is 93 and still drives, although I’ve never been a passenger in her car so I’m unsure of how competent she is. At eighty-one I still like to drive but not at night. I suppose it’s a good thing we oldies get tested but those yearly test come around too quickly for my liking!
