Saturday Morning Post -Ten Things of Thankful bloghop

 Welcome. 

Being a 'list' format for a gratitude themed bloghop, allow us to cut 'n paste some content from our parallel post published in WP.

We will add/delete items as the mood moves us and, perhaps, wax philosophical on the nature and benefits of 'tude.

Here's a Grat for 1 & 2 (related to Grat #5)

our stationary Stairmaster^r

Who says you have to pay a gym membership fee? 

Hey! Lets start with the persistent Grat #10 i.e. Secret Rule 1.3

What the hell. What's the deal. Why should a New Reader (and/or New Participant) care? Well, there are rules and standards in every social interaction involving more than one person. And these are usually made apparent to all. And then there are examples (illustrations? manifestations? yeah! that's it) ...wherein a good set of ground rules are expressed in contemporaneous terms... hence SR 1.3 which is an example of the guide to writing (for the TToT) that are contained in the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules).

ask anybody! ;p

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) I like big boats*

5) the work I have chosen. (see #4 above) I have a listing that I must inspect every week. And, on the way there, the highway passes the Port of Providence and there are usually a number of boats and tankers and such to be admired from afar.

6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop.  'Are We Playing?' by Chris

7) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop. 'Honeysuckle and Provolone'  by Nancy

8) something, something

9) the first full week of 'No longer Winter'... it's like, damn! The didn't set until, like sometime towards the evening!

10) Secret Rule 1.3

Summer's Eve's Eve The Ten Things of Thankful 2024

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Unicorn Challenge.  Pick of the Week:

5) the Six Sentence Story  Pick of the Week:

6) Hey! Summer is but days away! By the time you read this (and/or we actually complete and publish it) Summer arrives! *

7) * (new TT0T Readers/Participants: hey, we may lack something by way of logic and sensible narratives, but we're very not new to the Grat Game. Hence the extra Grat Item to explain what you should already know: The essences of Summer is daylight. This weekend the days' supply of said light begins to increase rather than decrease, (Certe hoc longe credibilius sonat¹)

8) driveway markers in the ground this week.  good ole' fashioned New England Winter juju

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3

Posting on Friday? Yeah, right... Just putting the day of the week in the title don't make it so

 This is the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) rainy day (and being a low front, a southeast wind^{Grat 9}

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop (and this week's Supremest Six is:)

5) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop  (bow before the bestest less-than-250-image-prompted-story, but not until you've read the thing, ya know):

6) semi-Grat:  missed our titular goal by.this.much   (Note to Reader Recruiting Program (RRP) need to increase the percentage of adolescent humor-level audience. Sure, Beavis and Butt-Head were popular, like 25-plus years ago, but, heck, the original viewers probably have kids of the appropriate age, ya know?)  

7) modern technology and blue skies. this is approaching Capitol City (which, if you haven't read it yet, our Six Sentence Story which takes place in a police station in this very city!) 

8) something, something

9) on the eastern seaboard (of Oceania) when a storm moves up out of the tropics, if the track is right, the winds are from the south and east. almost always warm(er) temperatures. In the case this week, our sub-grat is the runoff was of sufficient quantities as to leave a track of where the low point was on the driveway. we can now cut a bit of the grass and pine needles and such away and improve drainage! Win Win!

Ten Thousand Things of Thankful

 

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) Blogger Edition

This is the Wakefield Doctrine's Blogger contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Continuously running since 1934, the TToT is a grat blog without peer. Now, two editions, WP and Blogger.  Hit us up on 'the Facebook'. Hell, though we can't imagine being that open-scheduled, why not join the 'group'.

In any event, in no particular order or ranking (except, we guess the numbering thing), the people, places and things that have elicited a state of gratitude in us this past week are:

1) Our Co-hostinae: Mimi, Kristi, Dyanne, List, Denise and Misky

2) Una (and Mia)

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the works of Carlos Castaneda. (Castaneda's don Juan maintains that Time (and it's slutty step-sister, Reality) are a function of recollection. We know 'now' but for our remembering it. A carousel of vacation slides flashing on the walls around us at the speed Life.)

5) Outdoor Christmas lights. Phyllis being a 'real' person enjoys seasonal outdoor lighting decoration. Fine. She asked us to put them up.

...

lol With graceful resignation (the product of many years) she refers to our efforts as 'Christmas Area 51'

daytime:

nightime:

yeah, and did we mention they, like, randomly flash and ever thang?  yo. ho. yo.

6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. from our contribution to an ongoing serial Six. 'An Ian Devereaux Six'

7) knots (large or small, loose or salt-encrusted) can be fun and relaxing to untie

8) knots untied (surely the most enjoyably direct philosophical insight into Life, Human Foibles and the #$(^*@& blinds))

9) the Unicorn Challenge.  Pick of the week:

10) Secret Rule 1.3
