Grandma Theresa (or Teresa — you spell it both ways) found a great way to give away her wealth to her grandchildren. They will always remember her for her generosity and for the keepsakes and treasures

That is sad that her mother doesn't give her more of her time, and more encouragement. But I was glad to see that she seemed a little proud in the end.

Congrats to all the highlighted authors this week!

What a beautiful and bittersweet story, @anikekirsten. You take us into the life and mind of a woman who is becoming feeble, and perhaps losing her mental faculties as well. And we see her daughter's love

This is a tremendous piece of writing, @galenkp. Very powerful. Though it is fiction, it feels like there is a whole of truth here. I hope writing stories about your time in service helps with your healing.

These are all really nice, @agmoore. It's fun to work with images. I have never tried making collages, but it's fun to stop by from time to time and see what you guys are up to. I'd be interested to know

Thank you, @adetorrent. Great to see you! The red leaves are sumac, and this time of year they brighten up the trails and the roadsides.

Thank you, @peerfaizan1. I thought it looked like spilled paint!

Thank you for the tip and sweet comment, @joanstewart! Yes, I agree. I'm very lucky to have a local park where I can enjoy nature but I also often cross paths with friends and get to do some catching up.

That looks like a lovely hiking area! Well, except for the spiders. I would probably walk swinging a stick in front of me. I'm not fond of those rope-like ones either, since that's the type made by black

It does look like you have some marvelous views from that lookout. I would have loved to see one that shows more of the abbey! It looks like a beautiful work of architecture.

Wow, you are already seeing some fall color where you live!

It's really cool how you put them all together! It has a mystical quality.

😄

Ha ha ha, yes that is absolutely a true story, @snook, although I can't in all seriousness claim the Princess title. I think the fact that you had us all laughing until we cried on that trip gives you

Very nice photo manipulation. Yes, sunrise is an important cyclical event, and a fresh start. A new beginning that sets the day in motion. Without it, one feels like something is missing.

Wow, you captured that amazing moon so beautifully, @tattoodjay. It is breathtaking! I have never had the right equipment for those kinds of shits so I’m always amazed by them.

I was intrigued by this story, @treasure-joshua. I'm always interested when an author can make me care about the well-being of someone who has made bad choices and done bad things. But I really did hope

Congratulations to @idlemind, @warpedpoetic, @grindan and all honorable mentions, and thank you to everyone in the community for your inspiring stories!

What a fun birthday surprise that would be! Most 16 year-olds would ask for cars and clothes and popularity. It's good that Liana had her grandmother to guide her.
