Hi Chatty Lady: Why do I have a feeling that many women here are writers??????? 500 words???? I had a tough time doing essays of 250 words....how about I "think" of a contest and you put it into 500 words??? This is not 500 words by any stretch of the imagination: but a
fun activity in the past spring was this:
I took my younger son out to our yard to point out all the beauty nature brings to our doors...
asked him to point out (by the way this child was 19 yrs of age!!! and negative at the time!)
anything that he would consider "lovely"... and we spent quite a bit of time looking at the old oak (yes, in Florida and my back yard) with the moss dripping from its boughs, and the beautiful hibiscus etc. That mother's day he made me a card: Left side: was an alamanda flower, noted as "a beautiful gift from nature" right side,
3 cigarette butts, with the notation "a disgusting gift from my mom"....of course I kept the card!!! lol...
