  6. Fun! I am having a little trouble with linking my post to this blog. Can anyone out there help? All I can do is link to my blog's home page, not specifically to my Magpie Tales page!

  33. Here's my take on the picture--short but "sweet"!

  34. A very intriguing picture. I've seen so many blogs that I read who take part in your Magpie Tales each week and each week have forgotten to bookmark your site so that I can take part too. Having read a few blogs this morning that have taken part again, I remembered this week!! Sometimes I think I left my brain about a week behind my body!
    Thanks for the prompt. Took me back to when I was about 8 years old.. LOL
