Fourth of July (and Succinctly Yours!)

If you ever stopped to think of all the freedoms you enjoy throughout the day, it would really make your head spin, especially when you think that what we take for granted isn’t found everywhere, that what I have people fought and died for. I don’t know…just something with a little more meaning to think about this Fourth of July.


Now it's time for a lighter note and Succinctly Yours, another writing meme that piggy backs on the idea of Susan of the Stony River Blog. Grandma Goulash posts a picture and you are to write a 140 character or word story about it. You can also use the word of the day in your post if you wish.  This week's word is expedient. Here is the picture and my story:

Kay rubbed her legs together to think. When asked to make her fly, the genie turned her into one-the lamp had caused some loss of hearing. (139 characters)

Okay, this is my feeble attempt at some humor instead of my usual serious responses to this writing meme. I am looking forward to stopping by and reading yours, and I'm hoping all of you have a wonderful July 4th!

  2. Got to watch those lamps, Susan. They can get a genie person in to all sorts of dilemmas. It takes a really good rubbing to get out.
    What if she had asked to make her money?
    I like your humor. :) Happy 4th!
