And His Name is... #MFRWAuthor #BlogHop

Hello, all! Welcome back for another installment of the MFRW Author Blog 52-Week Challenge. This is week 43, and today's topic is: Meet My Pets Oddly enough, until just six weeks ago, I didn't own a pet so wouldn't have been able to participate this week 😒 I mean 😊 I own a pet now! My son's girl moved across-state with two pets and left one with me and the other with his other grandma. When she finally moved into her own apartment, she took the kitty with her and left the other guy with me. She named him Harold, but for the first week he became mine, I had assumed it was a hamster and called him Hamtaro (Google it). Then my daughter (condescendingly) explained that hamster's don't have tails. So... he's a gerbil, folks. Harold just doesn't go with Gerbil OR the little critter's face as far as I can tell. I don't know what to call him! He's a chubby little dude who always looks half-asleep, even when he&#

Hello minasan, and welcome back for another installment of the  MFRW 52-week Blog Challenge via #MFRWAuthor. It's Week 42 now, and the topic of discussion for today is MY FIRST LOVE Which I really don't want to discuss here, or ever again for that matter. Unrequited Love by KaidaYinThyme Along with a host of other issues dealing with my past, one of the HELP steps in recovering from said malady is to let it ALL go. Including any memories or mention of unrequited love. However, and to be fair to the rest of the participants in this week's Hop, I can touch on the fact that while it remains a painful and quite sad memory, it was also a bit of a catalyst for my writing career! Yes, I had a mad crush on a boy from the 7th grade straight through high school and almost a decade beyond that! Tall, dark, devastatingly handsome, thick, unruly black hair, tanned skin, dark eyes, sexy voice, and very impressively built due to his love of all things sports.

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my

Terribly vexing, to arrive at the most fashionable Breakfast Party of the Season wearing a perfectly stunning Chinese silk gown, only to discover Lord St. Evert is clad in unmentionables cut from identical cloth. Humiliating. And insufferable! Why, the devil, must he show up in fabrics Elizabeth searched so diligently to procure? To say nothing of the long hours she
