This is a plea for help.
Thom and I have taken on the task of keeping Portrait of Words alive.
This is the blog that gives people a set of pictures that they can combine with their imagination to create stories.

We need pictures.

I know that some of you my regular readers are really great picture takers. I know you have archives filled with pictures. Could you please let us use six.

Please!

Here is what we need ( General guidelines)
1. A picture of a person or persons
2. A place -House, hotel, castle, island , barn etc.
3. An activity-Boating, card playing, eating , any activity
4. A means of transportation- Bus, car, train, boat, elephant, camel etc.
5. An object- A dog, a carving, things in a shop , almost anything
6. Another object

What do you get for letting us use six of your priceless pictures?

1. Our endless gratitude

2. A link to your blog when the pictures are used

3. A thank you on the Portrait blog when the pictures are used. 4. The right to display this symbol on your blog ( very exclusive)



5. The opportunity to read fantastic stories based on your pictures.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Yesterday Buddy East announced the theme for this year’s local Liar’s Club Contest :
“I remember when”.
The rules are simple.
The participant tells a story of something that might have happened in their life. It must seem true but not be true.
For example one could relate how one visited Egypt and fell on a pyramid and rolled to the bottom. Now if you really did you can’t tell that story but if you imagined what it would be like you can.
Interested people should register at the Town Hall. There is a $ 5.00 registration Registrants will be contacted and a time for the presentation will be made.
Judging as always will be by ten people off the street.
Stories will be told from the town gazebo.
Liar’s Club will meet later this week to decide if there will be a contest for the internet.
People wishing to nominate girls as Pigeon Queen can get blanks at the Town Hall.
Mrs. Paula Judson the new Librarian has agreed to be in charge of this years Variety Show. If you are planning to enter an act please contact her.
Because of what happened to Bruce Curman last year spouses may no longer carry spouses twenty pounds or more heavier than them in the spouse carrying contest.

Wrap UP

Temperature went down and this was a good breathing day. Betty went to Bible study in the afternoon. I visited blogs. Now I need a breathing treatment.
