Happy Friday - all! Soooo. Is anyone reading this on your phone/laptop as you freeze to death in line and outside your favorite department store for the Black Friday shop-a-ganza mayhem?? Not me!! Seriously. You couldn't pay me to stay up all night in the cold with a bunch of strangers only to stampede through random-store doors in hopes of
fighting, grappling, stealing, wrestling getting a deal on something I probably don't need anyhow.
But if this is your bag (baby), I hope you're staying warm, you don't get trampled, and you steal the deal of a lifetime! :)
And also hoping your Thanksgiving was fantabulous! Mine sure was. Did I mention that Thanksgiving dinner is my all-time favorite meal of the year? My sister switched it up a little this year (I'm generally a traditionalist with my T-day meals....turkey, cranberry sauce, mash taters and gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls...) and made a butternut squash souffle. Yum!! And then we played games while (some of) the boys watched football. Games = Spoons (we only saw a few injuries) and Phase 10 (I won!!). I love long days with great food, great conversation and fun with the people I love.
But, after all was said and done, we left a great day and each other in a freezing cold night. I've been home for a few hours now, but my teeth are still chattering!! So...as I sat here thinking of what photo I'd add for Find the Story Friday - I realized that even if you're not as cold as me...it's still winter out there, everywhere! So - here's a little spring to your winter. Let me know how it inspires? I'm giving you a few choices here, so hopefully one of these lovely spring pics will spark a story idea in you:
 |
| Ahhh....lovely. |
 |
| Beautiful! |
 |
| Little slice of Secret Garden here.... |
 |
| Gorgeous, no? |
Hmmm....I'm visualizing #1 - a scene set for a lover's quarrel and/or #2 - a clandestine meeting of two old high school friends at the Tulip festival in Amsterdam.
Anything budding in that brain of yours? Hope so! Now grab that pen and write! :)
(oh - and P.S.!! If you haven't entered my GIVEAWAY yet, there's still time. Accepting entries through Midnight, Dec. 4th)
