September Theme:

If you could be an inanimate object what would you be? And why?

Barbara Ehrentreu  — If I could be an inanimate object I would be the desk in the Oval Office. So much happens there and if I were the desk I would know exactly what the president thought and felt and said and did. And I would know everything that is not told to the public about everything. I would have seen so many great presidents and unfortunately, some really awful ones. I would have been the one to be there for the signing of every important piece of legislation and I would be the one to hide whatever each president didn’t want people to see. I wonder what secrets those drawers hold? Did some of them hide candy or cigarettes or other treats? Did some of them hide secret documents that no one knew about? Are they filled as all desk drawers are with pens and pencils and other odd assortment of things like rubber bands and paper clips? Anyway, that is what I would enjoy being – a holder of important papers and secrets. 

Doris Mady — There are two things that come to mind for me: White puffy clouds that fly across the sky, changing into objects that travel the world. Why? I love to travel. And white sheets on a clothes line blowing gently in the breeze. Why? It seems so freeing to me.

October Theme:

You are shipwrecked on an island. What is the one thing you grabbed as you find safety?

Always look for the beauty in life. Beauty will always be there. But we must stop and take the time to observe and enjoy. ~~  Jeanne Crain Leemon
