Dork Drabble #15 & 16
The question on February 18 is 'If you won a game show, what would you want your grand prize to be? I believe that most people would want cash or a new car, but I think I would like a menagerie of small items for my home from furniture to appliances or another choice of a grand prize would be a tiny house that seem to be all the rage for some for even now Amazon has tiny houses for sale. That's it a new tiny house as long as it has room for a small library. How about you?

Moving on to Thanksgiving
Tonight is All Hallow's Eve. Now it is the time to think about giving thanks and it all starts tomorrow with All Saints Day and saying thank you to all who have gone before. Thanksgiving is a day that brings families together and to show gratitude for what they have accomplished hopefully for the good. We all hope to be bountiful in what we do in our lives no matter what we choose. It's time to put away the scary and bring out the joy of harvest time and to help others in need and give thanks for surviving tonight.

The Graveyard
A place of peace also, of serenity maybe but just be wary of.... ********* Do you ever walk through a graveyard and wonder who, what, when, where and the why? Is it a place to remember those that we lost for are they really lost at all for the most part aren't they not in a better place. They or most of them of found their way home. As in the image those markers of lanterns may have led them home for, they have seen the light. For a graveyard is like a way station between two worlds or three.

Looking at Old Photos
Going through many old photographs from my parents' younger days through my childhood of the 1960's and 1970's. There are black and white ones as well as those color ones with all the 'red' eyes. There were tears and smiles with more smiles than tears. As I found out my mom saved all those school pictures (individual and class). I began looking at these and wondered whatever happened to most of them especially from elementary school. I know some moved but believe it or not I found a few on social media and now are 'friends' once again. Happy memories.

Old Photos
Memories are found remembering who, what, when where were we headed. ***** Whose the one who takes all the photographs in your family? Do they use their phones or do some still use a camera like a Kodak or even a Polaroid camera. When looking at all those old pictures of family and friends with the red eyes what do you suppose that we were thinking did we really want our picture taken then or what. True it is a memory of sorts but not everything had to be recorded for prosperity but was still placed all together. (Photo album)

As Pooh and Paddington continued on their journey through the Hundred Acre Wood along with all Pooh's friends so far, they decided to take a rest under a tree. They sat and Paddington told Pooh about London. Paddington looked up towards the sky and noticed a bird that should only fly at night. Oh, look at that bird Pooh. That's my friend Owl. Owl saw and landed. Now going further down the path, they run into Rabbit. Introducing each other they all head to Christopher Robins's to see if he knows how to send Paddington home to London from here.
