Oh, my...this one, even more so than last week, made me think, think, think. I have the post, but it will go up at midnight tonight, as I am still tinkering with it. Good one!
Of course, like many people, I immediately recognized this trio was the famous Blodgetts of Sedalia, Missouri. My account of their life is now posted. I hope I got all of the facts correct.
Its a miracle....i am here early!!!....or should i say "are we there yet?" Thanks for another wonderful prompt Tess!! Hope everyone has an awesome week! :-)
I've heard a lot about this place, but it's the first time that I've posted something out here. I'm no good with poems, but I wanted to write a short story - fiction - based on the picture and the caption accompanying it at the bottom. I hope that's fine...?
Loved the old time photo, reminded me of some I have of my parents when they were young! Shared an older poem about summers of my youth that I added the photo to, I thought they worked well together. Thanks for a great photo prompt!!
This is a great photo and I am trying to squeeze time in to write a poem. Busy getting kids off to school... I won't let myself read anyone's take on this as I don't want to "copy" it. It is hard to wait... so I better get going! :) Thanks for hosting this challenge.
I loved the picture....had me thinking of my mom and dad
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely image. Sent be back...

ReplyDeleteTess~ I love this photo... thanks for giving us a head start. I missed participating last week b/c I was on vacation.
ReplyDeleteTess, thank you for this photo. Its wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOf course, like many people, I immediately recognized this trio was the famous Blodgetts of Sedalia, Missouri. My account of their life is now posted. I hope I got all of the facts correct.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pic! I hope you make the connection with my poem and the piece. I hope it doesn;t seem too disconnected.
ReplyDeleteInsomnia has its merits... Lets me be here early!

ReplyDeleteThis one took me back, Tess. Thanks for the memories :)
ReplyDeleteHow times have changed since the "old days", the so called "Happy Days". You have a fantastic site here, Tess!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a very long time since I participated in Magpie, but this photo spoke to me in perhaps an overly sentimental way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tess, this one brought back memories of old letters to me.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies for the second link. It's up now, and what a prompt this was!
ReplyDeleteA stroll down memory lane for many, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteTook a bit to settle in, given all the memories
ReplyDeletethat came up! fun though thanks-
Love that photograph! I happenef to have one that fits it! Hope you all enjoy...it was one of my first writes where I attempted imagery without rhyme.
ReplyDeleteA fun prompt that takes me back to Wasaga Beach; but I'll make this Missouri! Sun Sand Surf! Bring your bathing suits!

ReplyDeleteAs is frequently the case of late, this image found me in melancholy's embrace...
ReplyDeleteI´m up again, a sad story this time.
ReplyDeleteMy Poetry Wednesday post is up with a poem.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never. Mine's up!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm the last, but had to put in my two cents worth.
ReplyDeleteMy creativity took a bend in the road this week.
ReplyDeleteI made you a billboard! It won't take long to drive over to see it.
Are We There Yet?
This is a great photo and I am trying to squeeze time in to write a poem. Busy getting kids off to school... I won't let myself read anyone's take on this as I don't want to "copy" it. It is hard to wait... so I better get going! :) Thanks for hosting this challenge.
ReplyDeleteWe left Missouri in '51 for Roswell, New Mexico. And took the family dog and the Brownie camera. The people in this picture look very familiar.
