Howdy, folks. Forgottenman here feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away. Earlier I posted a link to a blog she wrote 5 years ago. Here’s one from 10 years ago. (Ok, I had to do repost this one – I snapped the photo she used to illustrate it!) I hope it’s new to some of you. Happy reading!

Built-in Guilt-in

Howdy, folks. Forgottenman here feeding Judy’s blog a bit while she toils away in Buenavista, Quintana Roo, for a month to concentrate on finishing her Ethiopian memoir. I offered to do some guest (re)blogs of some of her ancient blogs that might garner a few new reads. First up is this poem she wrote five years ago today to a series of prompt words. I loved it then and still do. I hope it’s new to some of you. Happy reading!

Luxuriating in Being Left

Welcome to “The Numbers Game #101”. Today’s number is 223 (posted by Forgottenman for Judy). To play along, go to your photos file folder and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find that include that number and post a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title. This prompt will repeat each Monday with a new number. If you want to play along, please put a link to your blog in comments below. Here are my contributions to the album.

Someone contributed a number of swatches of different material.. and a bottle full of buttons. Someone else gave us all google eyes. Here’s a closeup of Candace’s clever use of all of these elements.
