Well March has nearly come and gone and soon it will be April. March 20th is the 1st day of Spring. How about making a suggestion about what kind of conrest we could have. If its a good one maybe Dotsie will be able to use it...hummm, thinking! Okay I'll start by suggestiong we write a short story, 500 words or less about our most fun spring activity so far....okay thats mine come on all you creative ladies, give!!

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...

Sandi alas there are many writers etc. here. Now that story of your son was a definite "gotcha" moment! Oh and you'll notice I said 500 words or less, and that was just a suggestion, someone else may come up with a much better contest idea.

Sandi, I am laughing out loud. I have teens so I see the humor in it! What a hoot.

Yeah, I've dropped the ball on contests in here. Let's see...

Why don't we have the funniest post in this topic and I will get soemone from outside the forum community to judge? Word count doesn't matter.

Funniest spring memory...anyone?

The prize is a Friends Heal Friends t shirt.

Let the fun begin.

Obviously she thought it was so funny, she posted twice....LOL! I too see the humor in your sons "point" as well. Kids...can't live with um, can't sell nowadays...

My funnies don't come in seasons, they seem to be a daily occurence...you should follow me around some time. For instance, me and a bunch of girls decided to take off for Florida's beaches one Spring and before we left, we gave each other aliases...Mine was Rusty. When I met a guy, that's what I told him my name was. He was foreign, his first name was Nail. I don't make this stuff up.....

JJ

Oh yes you do!!!!!

teehee...I swear I don't....and then when we ordered a drink, guess what it was? A RUSTY NAIL! hahahahah....I swear!

JJ

Hunh - uh! Was not! You on a roll, JJ????? O, man, one nite out with you and it'd be all over...but the shoutin'!!!
