Atalante

I love suddenly finding images that are just *so* powerful and poignant!

4:13 am

Angb

Whoopee. Found an 8 all by myself, without catching the clues. A first .... Perhaps I should get the one. Or maybe it's the mystic luck of the 7?

4:14 am

FranMag

lucky 7 i'm sure ang!

4:16 am

Angb

Angb

Forget that - have now shaken the crud out of the keyboard.

4:22 am

FranMag

4:24 am

Angb

Yep ... the toast crumbs make it hard to press down the keys. so you et a bit energetic about it LOL

4:25 am

Angb

My kids used to post business cards into the floppy disk drive as well. Poor computer

4:26 am

FranMag

just be glad it's not peanut butter sandwiches in the VCR.

4:26 am

FranMag

my niece did that

4:27 am

Angb

Don't laugh. We borrowed the grandparents video. Grandma complained it wasn't working when returned to her. Took covering off and found a cream bun!

4:27 am

Angb

Postman Pat has a lot to answer for!

4:27 am

FranMag

sorry, i have to laugh!!!!

4:28 am

Angb

Kids ... it you didn't laugh you would spend your life crying.

4:29 am

FranMag

4:29 am

Atalante

oh noooo lol! kids!

4:29 am

FranMag

of course she only does it during scrabble games when i'm winning

4:30 am

Angb

Switches - they're magic! And plugs. And taps.

4:31 am

FranMag

the part they like the best is mom's reaction, it amuses them to no end.

4:32 am

Angb

Love it - kids with a sense of drama and humour. My 8 year old son reeled of the 6 senses tonite. The last sense was humour!

4:33 am

FranMag

that's great ang!

4:44 am

Andree

evening everyone, out of the mouths of babes! sense of humour is the most important what a clever son you have ang

4:45 am

FranMag

4:48 am

Angb

Too true Andree.

4:48 am

FranMag

very true andree

4:53 am

Andree

4:53 am

Andree

maybe I spent too long at the 19th hole

4:54 am

FranMag

it's pretty tough andree

4:54 am

Andree

rane

4:54 am

Angb

I found the first 40 easy ... then hit a brick wall. Got the list early today to my dismay.

4:54 am

Andree

Atalante

4:54 am

Angb

Nope andree

4:55 am

FranMag

Angb

There were impressive machines that could bring water up from the creeks and wells in that area, and the water would flow slowly through the channels, watering the crops as it went.

And they had built towers to watch the crops, and young children would sit up there, sounding the alarm if animals or birds or fire threatened their food source.

9:25 pm

The people in this land did not eat meat, as we do, at least not that I saw; but they had marvelous beans and a grain that grew in water, and some vegetables that reminded me of ours but in different shapes and colors.

The metalwork in some villages rivaled the best I have seen -- intricate but strong. Even the most utilitarian pieces had a bit of decoration somewhere.

9:31 pm

stidmama

The houses were often wood-frame, but I could see no sign of nails. Pegs and wedges seemed to hold everything together.

9:32 pm

stidmama

And the buildings were topped with tile. Again, they seemed unsatisfied unless there was color or decoration, and often the tiles were in many colors, arranged to form patterns that could be seen as you approached the villages.

9:32 pm

stidmama

So there I stood, at the top of a hill between villages, surrounded on all sides by prosperity and graciousness. It was tempting to stay.

9:33 pm

stidmama

But I knew what it was like to be a stranger already, and I wanted to belong somewhere.

9:33 pm

stidmama

So, I pressed on.

9:33 pm

stidmama

Four days out, it rained. The jenny and I took shelter under a tree by the side of the road.

9:34 pm

stidmama

It reminded me of the tree on the way to John's village, and I grew homesick.

9:34 pm

wassup

phantom word: volcano

9:35 pm

harpjane

hello, I"m back after dinner. 68 to go

9:35 pm

stidmama

When it stopped raining, I pressed on. The roads were mushy, but passable, and we made good time so that a couple of days later were were on a rocky plain that stretched across a vast distance to a forest.

9:35 pm

stidmama

**hello wassup and harp**

9:37 pm

stidmama

When the sun was high in the sky, we came to a wide river. It moved sluggishly, but obviously had some deeper spots where the water eddied ominously.

9:37 pm

stidmama

**whatcha been up to, wassup? I've been telling stories...**

9:37 pm

9:38 pm

stidmama

I looked for a marker I had been told of, and soon found it. A large pile of stones, with a flat rock on top for a cap.

9:38 pm

stidmama

Strange writing was on it, but I could make out a few of the characters.

9:38 pm

stidmama

Squinting, I could see another in the middle of the river, and a third on the far bank.

9:39 pm

stidmama

**things have been summer-crazy here. Not too bad, and very glad we made no huge trips this year**

9:39 pm

9:43 pm

stidmama

To my surprise, there was paving just a few yards from the edge!

9:44 pm

stidmama

**thanks A LOT, Jill! grumble grumble**

9:44 pm

stidmama

We were both much calmer once we realized, and I walked at her head, aiming straight for the marker in the middle.

9:45 pm

9:46 pm

stidmama

From the center, we lined up with the third marker, and walked across steadily. It took less than an hour to cross the river.

9:47 pm

stidmama

Once on the other side, I check the jenny's hooves, then sat down to dry my feet.

9:47 pm

lenalu01

I need help with the sh 7/32

9:47 pm

stidmama

The trees of the forest were more visible now, and I could see there was a mix of dark green and other colors.

9:47 pm

stidmama

Hello Min!

9:47 pm

jillibus

9:49 pm

lbdawger

hi Min!

9:49 pm

stidmama

As I sat, I chewed some dried fruit and strange cakes the people in the last village had given me. I contemplated the reasons I had come so far.

9:49 pm

stidmama

I thought about the reasons I could have stayed home.

9:49 pm

CiociaJudy

*Hi Min*

9:50 pm

stidmama

I was angry that it had taken me so long, and disappointed that I had been unable to contact you.

9:50 pm

Didn't want to interrupt, but hi to my fellow babblers

9:55 pm

stidmama

I thought about Nancy and Jane, and wondered if they were being courted yet -- and about John and wondered if he was going courting.

9:55 pm

Ping

oh - my mistake - sorry and thanks, leslie

9:55 pm

LeslieAnn

didn't mean to sound so incredulous with my punctuation, but since i decided your name has to have an exclamation point, questions are hard to write, ping!

9:56 pm

stidmama

I wondered if Mother and Father were well, and if you were okay.

9:56 pm

stidmama

We hadn't planned for me to be gone so long.

9:56 pm

Ping

no worries, mate!

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

stidmama

**just call me sheherazade**

9:57 pm

LeslieAnn

adverb form of sh 5/12 - see-through, ronnie

9:58 pm

stidmama

I was nervous about what would happen when I reached my destination.

9:58 pm

ronnielee

9:58 pm

stidmama

What sort of people did I come from?

9:58 pm

stidmama

Would I even be able to find them?

9:58 pm

stidmama

What if I was wrong about where I came from -- the memories of a child aren't always reliable 30 years on...

9:59 pm

stidmama

The sun was getting lower, and I had been warned to not rest on the river plain, as sometimes it flooded suddenly.

9:59 pm

harpjane

arayasunshine, if you haven't already left yet, check out lickety's page (link at the bottom) sh 5/12 means the word starts with sh, is 5 letters long, and is worth 12 points.

9:59 pm

lenalu01

for the sh 7/32.What do you mean its preceding?

10:00 pm

stidmama

I stood up and put away my precious satchel. The jenny groaned as I tightened the harness a little, but resolutely began putting one foot in front of the other as we moved toward the line of trees that marked the beginning of the land of my birth.

10:00 pm

LeslieAnn

sh 7/32 - take the sh 5/12 meaning shine and add the third vowel then second vowel to it.

10:01 pm

stidmama

I wondered how much longer you would wait for me, and then saw a bird nesting on the ground not far from the trail.

10:01 pm

Minveryork

Sh 7/32 is sh 5/12 before it plus 2 more vowels lenalu

10:01 pm

inge

we mean the word just before 7/40, which is a 5/12 and means see through, transparent, make it into an adverb for the 7/40

10:01 pm

lbdawger

gotta go i'll catch up on the story in babanon. nighty night everyone!

10:02 pm

stidmama

Its mate hovered nearby, trying to draw my attention.

10:02 pm

stidmama

good night lbd!

10:02 pm

LeslieAnn

good night lb

10:02 pm

lenalu01

thanx

10:02 pm

stidmama

I walked on, lost in thought. I worried that the children would not know me -- would not want to know me -- when I returned.

10:03 pm

stidmama

A small bunny crouched by the side of the trail next to a boulder. In the shade of the boulder, it looked like another rock, and the hawk wheeling overhead did not see it.

10:04 pm

stidmama

The trees grew steadily nearer. I could see that there were bushes loaded with berries at the edge of the forest, reaching for the sunshine that could not penetrate the thick canopy.

10:04 pm

LeslieAnn

I watched a deer-like creature step out of the forest on the trail. We were within a few steps.

10:06 pm

featherbee

10:06 pm

stidmama

It watched us carefully, then turned and sauntered back into the safety of the dark shade.

10:07 pm

Minveryork

se 6/21 is se plus Richard Gere movie Shall We D****?

10:07 pm

stidmama

I thought how strange it was that I was drawn to leave all I knew, to journey so far, with no certainty of success.

10:07 pm

Ping

10:07 pm

featherbee

Doris stirred slightly. Gilly put the sock she was working on in Paul's hands and he began to work on it while she moved to their daughter's bedside.

10:08 pm

jillibus

10:09 pm

LeslieAnn

10:09 pm

stidmama

She placed a hand on Doris's forehead and reached for the carafe of water on the small table between the beds, moistening a cloth slightly.

10:09 pm

CiociaJudy

*returns blankie to corner; slips out to bed* (whispers, good nite, all)

10:10 pm

stidmama

Gently, she laid the cloth on her daughter's forehead.

10:10 pm

10:11 pm

stidmama

And Paul sang a song from her childhood long ago, and Gilly sat back and caressed her daughter's hair as they listened.

10:12 pm

featherbee

10:12 pm

stidmama

Doris fell back to sleep, surrounded by the love of her parents.

10:12 pm
