13 Memes I Have Taken Part In
I love memes. They are like being part of a party. You get visitors, and go visiting, and don’t have to worry about how you are received. Here are 13 I’ve done. 1. Thursday Thirteen. I assume no explanation is needed. 2. Fiction Friday 55 – Write a story in 55 words. 3. PhotoHunt – Done on Saturday, you post a photo that matches their one word description. 4. Simply Delicious Sunday – post a recipe 5. Yummy Sunday – […]
Ah Maria, Welcome to Prague
Hey, I haven’t said a word to him about all the battle stuff he’s been covering. Honest. If it seems that I have been focusing on the wars that Maria fought to the exclusion of all else, that is because, alas for Maria, that is what she was forced to deal with in the first years of her reign.
