Writer’s Workshop

I wasn’t sure what to write for any of the prompts this week, so I chose one from the week of August 28th, which I had wanted to choose at the time, but never had a chance to write. That prompt is: 5.) It happened during recess… Plus a little rambling. 😉 Whenever I post […]

2.) If you had to choose a sport to compete in the Winter Olympics, which sport would you choose and why? For as long as I can remember, I have been a huge fan of the Olympics, and particularly the Winter games. Perhaps it’s because I am more active in the Winter. Cold temps and

This week, I’m following the prompt: 4.) First day of school! My heart was happy today. Joshua was nervous about entering his second year of preschool, but as soon as we stepped into the building this morning, all fears were erased. He saw a few of his favorite friends from last year and just lit up

This week, I am (very loosely) following the prompt: 4.) Something your grandfather told you. My grandfather, Papa, was born and raised in North Carolina. I’m not exactly sure how he ended up in Rhode Island, but he was in the Navy and later worked for them as a civilian, so I suppose that had something
