"Blogging Circle of Friends" furnishes the prompts & I write about them... |

What is Circle Time? & Why did I decide to name this blog after it?... [C]ircle Time is an activity that is often done in the early grades (usually, from preschool/nursery school through first grade) where the students assemble in a semi-circle facing their teacher who will read a story to them; teach a lesson; listen to them read (either individually or as a group); or any other activity that is more effectively-done in an intimate setting than being spread out at their desks throughout the classroom. [S]tudents are often divided into two or three groups (in the case of working on reading, math, etc.) so that part of the class is being taught while the other students are doing busy work at their desks. [I]n some schools, students are grouped according to their progress -- I'm sure you've heard of those kinds of groupings that call each group by the name of a bird species -- but we were called in alphabetical order instead. [A]nyway...back to how this blog got its name... [F]or one thing (the most OBVIOUS thing), it's a blog that has been designed with using it to write something using prompts furnished by Blogging Circle of Friends  .[H]owever, a couple more reasons have to do with Kindergarten -- and, specifically, my Kindergarten days at 29th Street School in Anderson where I could be a handful at times. One shining example of this was how I met my friend, Patty. This story has found a place in my memoirs and has been given the following title: [T]his was an example of how getting in a little mischief sometimes pays off, because I not only satisfied my curiosity but, also, got a really wonderful friend out of the deal. You know something? I just used a word that reminds me of Patty, and I didn't even mean to do it. Anyway, that just tells me that I need to write a story and call it "Invalid Entry" .[A]nyway, I remember when Patty and I were out sitting on her porch, and she came up with this really neat game where she said that she would make a scribble for me to turn into a picture. After that, I would make a scribble for her to turn into a picture. And so on and so forth... [I]n a sense, those scribbles were prompts of sorts given by one person to inspire another one -- which is what's contained in this blog: getting inspiration from things such as quotes; clusters of words; videos; etc. that have been shared with us by another person to get our creative juices going. [I]nspired by each other's scribbles, Patty and I came up with some pretty unique pictures (at least in our early-grade-school minds). [A]fter learning this game from Patty, I shared it with some of my other friends and we played it. Quite likely, some of those friends shared the game with others. I have no idea whether this had been a game that Patty had come up with herself or if somebody had taught it to her. [I]t was, obviously, an activity that was worth sharing with others so that they could join the fun. I hope that reading what I write in this blog will inspire you to want to find out more about B.C.O.F. and join in the fun. [E]ven if you aren't interested in blogging with us, I hope you'll find this a great place to do some reading!!! [W]armly -- AJ wants U 2 meet The CanMan!

 And so ends the Introduction to the blog... Therefore, the next thing you might want to do is to start reading it... Does that make sense to you?... Hope so...  |

Let's be clear, I never thought I would but ... Oopsie! I did it again!
Did what?
Once this week, I got my entry finished before the deadline but was too late to post it in the forum thread.
I'm referring to this one:
Then — Lo & Behold! — I did it again with this one:
Oh well! At least, I didn't do the same thing with the one I wrote tonight... ... [Read more] Sleep July 25, 2018 at 11:59pm

"A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow." Charlotte Bronte. Your thoughts. How important do you feel sleep is? Do you get enough?
I'm on a kind of strange schedule to where I can sleep at any time and even go to sleep in some of the strangest places.
Before I say any more, I want to share a blog-entry I made a couple of nights ago where it was finished before midnight but I was unable to post it on time.
Anyway, I don't want this to ha... [Read more] And That Reminds Me... July 23, 2018 at 11:59pm

There are many songs that make me smile and bring back happy memories, and this is just one of them:

The reason I chose this one for this blog entry is twofold:
(1) I simply happen to love this song — in fact, there isn't, to my knowledge, ANY song by {x-link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F... [Read more] Schuyler, Virginia Is... July 18, 2018 at 11:50pm
PROMPT:
What fictional town from a novel or TV Show would you like to visit or live in?
Schuyler, Virginia is the actual name of what many of us thought of as Walton's Mountain, and I've had the pleasure of going there to visit on several occasions.
It's a quaint, little place that you have to travel roads that are barely roads to get there.
There is an actual operating general store there, but the owners aren't named Ike & Cora Beth Godsey, though th... [Read more] How Berry Unfortunate! July 14, 2018 at 11:50pm

Use these words in your entry: moonlight, offend, small, strawberry, yank, unwieldy, car, attack.
The moonlight shown over the strawberry patch as I was driving by.
This scenic view gave me a hunger attack . Therefore, I thought that I
Should park my car by the side of the road and pick a handful or so,
But the no small yank from the farmer
Made me realize his answer was "NO!!!"
I apologized over and over again, saying I didn&#... [Read more] Do Your Honest Best!!! July 9, 2018 at 5:46pm

Work Ethic. Write whatever you want about this subject. If you have a favorite quote share it.
It's my personal opinion that people who are being trusted to do a job — and, especially, when they're being paid to do it — should give it their best. No shoddy workmanship.
And this includes NOT being the type of person who sneaks tools and/or small parts out in his/her lunchbox.

Include the following words in your entry: chocolate, cherry, strawberry, sundae, pit.
When it comes to custom-building a S U N D A E for me, I tend to go for the kitchen sink type where the rule is very simple:

Sock that CHOCOLATE and STRAWBERRY to me in any form that you have it, be it ice cream, syrup, gummies, or sprinkles. If you have any fresh strawberries and/or any other kind of fre... [Read more] The Same Cast Of Characters July 5, 2018 at 2:41pm
PROMPT:
Who were your favorite fictional literature characters when you were a teen-ager?
I have found that the characters I've grown up with have continued to follow me all of my life. Some examples of those are the cast of characters from A Christmas Carol, Romeo & Juliet, and Heidi. I was introduced to all of them when I was a child and have grown with them over the years.
As you can read by going to the entry below, the hapless young woman named Medusa made ... [Read more] |
