Ah, I see what you mean. I hadn't thought it needed more, but I agree that one more paragraph after the dialog would be good!

This tale of magical realism gripped me and pulled me in. It is so imaginative and intriguing. You "color outside the lines," @cajiro. Your writing wonderful.

This story made me smile all the way through, @balikis95. The antics of the girls are so funny — especially Eleanor. And the pizza guy! What a bizarre and funny character. A very enjoyable read.

This is a lovely and heartening story, @rammargarita. Anzoni makes mistakes in his youth, like many kids do. But he ultimately finds his way. It's sad that he is too late to save his father! However, it

You are amazing, @dswigle. It always blows me away that you are able to get to som many posts and to write thoughtful comments on all of them. Yes of course we should all read and comment on one another’s

Oh my gosh, that sounds like a blast. How funny that they even go to lengths to have an evil pirate attack your boat!

That's great that you can identify birds on the wing by their beak shape and tail feathers, @joanstewart. Those birds look like they are enjoying their time in the wind.

Oh my, this post is a feast for the eyes, @lizelle! I'm thrilled for you that it's planting time. It is the end of season here and we are watching the flowers give their last gasp as the days turn colder.

Wow, oh my. What a splendid and heart wrenching story, @samsmith1971! It took my breath away. The loss and grief is absolutely palpable. What a gift that DVD is. And thank goodness the father and son have

Wow, that DreamFed business is quite a line of work! I really enjoyed this story, @seki1. It's very imaginative and you do a really nice job with world building. One can't blame the kid for wanting happiness!

Yes, it's a teensy weensy little town. And everyone there drives Porsches, Corvettes, and Teslas, if that tells you anything!

So you have a "spidey sense," @tattoodjay! That's very good. And I'm glad it has served you well!

No, but I suppose I could have! Lots of people love to go fishing on the lakes here. You might have noticed the kids fishing in the first picture, and the young man on the dock in the last one. It's a

Yes, being near water is important to me too, @dswigle. After living on one coast or another for over 25 years, it's kind of crazy that I moved to the Midwest! But we have so many lakes here that I'm never

I'll be interested to see what recipes you come up with for grapefruit, @generikat. I guess I wouldn't try to sell it if I owned a bakery, but it might be fun to develop a not-too-sweet recipe that has

That looks spectacular, @generikat! I absolutely love orange flavored pastries of any kind. (Or lemon, or lime. Haven't tried grapefruit, but I'm not opposed.) I'm amazed you can alter your recipes and

Wonderful pictures, @cliffagreen. The water is so crystal clear!

For this vegan pizza I’ve selected ripe tomatoes, olives, onion, basil and lashings of garlic. Oh yummy! How terrific is that. All those fresh ingredients. I can almost smell the basil! It is the end of

So that happens to you too, @tattoodjay? I do think most people have a bit of a 6th sense. I can be utterly soundless, or standing up on a concrete bridge overlooking a couple of teenagers on a boat,

Your photography is stunning as always, @tattoodjay. I love the intense colors. My favorite image is that last one, where it seems you can almost see motion in the clouds! Here’s my link for this week:
