#113 - Curve or Curves

Has life thrown you a curve ball? Do you love hugging the curves while you are driving? Do you love or hate your physical curves? Winkipedia defines 'Curve' as: "In mathematics, the concept of a curve tries to capture the intuitive idea of a geometrical one-dimensional and continuous object." But we use the word in a lot of different ways. What do you have to say about curve/ curves?

#112 -- Quitting

Have you ever quit something? A job, a sport, a school play, a relationship? How did it feel? Were you guilty? Flooded with relief and a powerful feeling of freedom? Do you maybe quit things too easily? Or do you never quit, even when you should? What does it mean to be a "quitter"?

NOTE: I had to redo Mr. Linky and the links were lost. Sorry! Please re-post below.

O Lord, have mercy on her soul

On the 3rd May, a First Saturday, Mrs. Vivienne Lardeaux, of Warden Manor on the Isle of Sheppy, Kent, England, passed to the next life at the age of 85 years. Rev. Fr. Anthony Mary, C.SS.R. and a number of brothers travelled from Papa Stronsay to the Isle of Sheppy to sing her funeral Mass on Tuesday 20th May.

Holy Mass was offered in the Monastey chapel.

Mrs. Lardeaux's mortal remains left Sheppy to be flown up to Papa Stronsay to be buried.

On the evening of Friday 23rd May, Mrs. Lardeaux's coffin arrived On Papa Stronsay.




After a second Mass for the repose of her soul, the procession to the Monastery cemetery set out from the chapel.


The evening was beautiful, and our donkey once again took the body to its final resting place.

Eternal rest grant unto Her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her;

may she rest in peace. Amen

#111 - Soar/ Sore

The prompt for this week is 'Soar.' As I read this word and said it out loud I realized that it also could be 'sore.' You could soar through the air, or be sore at someone. You could tell us about your ride in an airplane or about the kind of bandage you would need to make that wound feel better. Is your heart sore or does something make it soar? Which way do you feel today?

#109 - Family

The prompt this week is: Family. Love them or hate them, we all have them. Whether it's urban families, adopted families, work families, extended families, nuclear families, or blended families, no matter how you look at them, they are complicated. Make up a new family, talk about your own family, or create a family for one of your characters to flesh them out a little. What does the word family bring up for you?

Happy Scribbling!
