I have another blog. I haven’t shared it before today, but today’s writing prompt, *Childhood Revisited, seemed to fit best on the other side. The stories I share are from memory, and sometimes will be raw and brutally honest. Everyone has a past. This one is mine.

Hello Kausbernd! The story and the link to the other blog are both mine. I’m glad you like them. 🙂
Interesting writing prompt. I like your other blog ..read through some of the posts. You tell a story quite well.
Janet, Thank you for your comment and the compliment! Sometimes a good thing comes along and you just have to run with it. I found this an easy assignment.
Aw I wish my first memory evolved a little kitten I think I that is one of the best first memories you can have! Shows your love for animals I think. 🙂
Thanks, and yes, I do love animals… although I think my husband would prefer I loved them a little less.
Owner of: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 5 geese, 8 chickens, and 4 guinea hens! 😉

😀
(Warning: Guinea Hens are great, but they are also incredibly LOUD.)
..Hmmm..maybe I better build the barn a bit farther from my house then….XD
Good idea! 😉
