thankyou for this post. I had spent the early afternoon in the summerhouse reading up on the weekend papers after the departure of my beloved family. the article that took my eye was on this very subject of dinner parties and how we cope with them. It was very funny and instructive!
Oh, my. I'm morified. I must check my glasses. I could have swore the painting was called Drummer!!! something. So that is why I rambled the way I did.
Most people are too young to know what a "drummer" is. I promise I will pay more attention next time. I looked and looked at this picture with Drummer in my mind!!!
At least I know there will be no other like this one.
So okay, you posted another irresistible painting and I followed it right here like a mouse with the Pied Piper and put down a few words that it said to me so I could escape over the hill.. I'll be back later to explore the width and span of all the poetic takes on the subject. Thank you, Magpie&Tess.
I am having great difficulty this week accessing Magpie sites and I have no idea why. Yesterday the side bar would not move for Kathe, Hank, JJ, or Kay and today the same problem at Willow Manor and Bee's Blog. Is it my computer or something else? I will keep posting sites I cannot access. Sorry, people. =(
Hello Tess! I do hate posting so late, but I really wanted to work with this photo! Time during the summer seems to vanish before the day begins at times! Now to catch up! I hope your week is going well!
I guess the linkies close after a while...came across this image prompt via Margo Roby's "Friday Freeforall" round-up of prompts. Sorry to have missed the deadline. I'll link my response to my name here, should anyone stumble across this comment.
Happy writing my friends!
