Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs Prompt: "Use these random words in your blog entry. tablet, trainer, bee, adviser, drift and agreement".

I really don't know how to answer this prompt. My muse has gone on vacation so the creative side of me is not here. I have owned a tablet or two but never did become accustomed to them. They didn't have windows and that is about the only OS I ever cared for. Maybe I should have gotten a trainer to show me how to use it. I still don't think I would have won the spelling bee with them though. My adviser always told me not to get in over my head. I guess you get my drift as we once said. So I stand in agreement and use only my laptop.

Blog City image small Prompt: "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree" Let's talk about gift giving. What was the first gift you received from your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend for Christmas? What did you give them? If you don't celebrate Christmas discuss the first gift you received or gave. Was the gift practical or whimsical?"

The very first gift I gave my late wife was an empty box. She had told me the whole Christmas season that she didn't want anything for Christmas and that if I gave her anything it should be a box of air. So I gift wrapped and empty box and placed it under the tree. (Of course I kept the real gift, a sapphire ring, hidden from her.) It was priceless watching her pick the empty box up all season to try to get a clue as to what was in it. She shook it. She weighed it. She even tried to peak under the wrapping and never did figure it out. She just kept saying that it had better be a box of air, which is what it was! When she finally did open it she just smiled and said it was "perfect".
I told her that if the empty box was perfect it meant I could return what I really got her and handed her the ring with her birthstone in it. She cried and it was indeed perfect.
