Now, That's What I Call a Great Gift!!!

This weekend's Trifextra challenge was to use Myopic, dazzle and basin  in our story, somehow, some way.   I think I have done that in the spirit of holiday gift-giving.   Please enjoy this story.

On a related note,  I am looking forward to being some Trifectan's secret Santa, too.  Can't wait to share a part of my world with one of you out there in this terrific community of ours.  Take care, everyone!  :)



Now, That's What I Call a Great Gift!!!

The Word of the Day flip-it calendar arrived.
Class word lists soon changed,

Basin replaced bay,
dazzle bumped shine, 
myopic/your-opic, whatever.......the kids would visualize that soon enough.

The richness of words.

Priceless.

    1. Funny how inspiration starts..........was imagining sharing the challenge at school and trying to explain what "myopic" meant. Knowing some of the kids, I could just imagine the "my-opic/your-opic" response pouring out of their mouths. The words made me smile when I said them to myself and, as soon as I smiled, I knew where I was headed with this piece. Glad you liked it. :)

  10. Hey Tom,
    Can't find Joe2s entry that you referenced on my blog and I want to read it. What am I missing (why can't I find it)? Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated!
