13 Settings in Photo Form
Setting can have such an impact on a story. The way a scene involving a couple walking hand in hand reads when they are on the beach is radically different than when they are struggling over sand dunes. Sometimes I find it a challenge to keep a setting in mind. That’s when pictures come in handy. Can you imagine how different a scene might play out in each of these settings?

13 Signs of Summer
Totally Random Picture: You know it’s Summer When: 1. Listening to the neighbor’s dog take a dump is more comfortable than closing the window and letting the temperature climb. 2. You accidentally memorize the names of all the pets and children within yelling range. 3. You learn the musical preferences of everyone who drives past. 4. You don’t think twice about sharing your musical preferences as you drive. Unless the car’s AC works better than rolling down the window. 5. […]
13 Happy Things
Hey, I’m in the mood. 1. It’s been a cool summer here in Montana. Only in the last few weeks have we sweltered. 2. I took my fancy new camera to the 4th of July celebration in town and got these shots. It was my first attempt at night photography with this camera.

My Week in 13 Parts
It may not have looked it, but I was actually very busy this week. 1. I learned how to uninstall and reinstall WordPress for those occasions when I totally mess it up. This was mostly a matter of overcoming my own fears. No big deal, really. 2. I created my Blogmania front page and set it up. If you click on the Welcome tab up there at the top you’ll see it. 3. I realized I was dumb enough to […]
13 Changes
It’s been just over a year since I moved my blog from WordPress.com to www.AliceAudrey.com, and just under 4 years since I started blogging. Much has changed in that time. Here are some that I have done, and some I am anticipating: 1. I learned a little bit of HTML. When I first started, I was afraid of pictures. 2. I learned a teeny-tiny bit of CMS (Content Management System – another blog programming thing). I was originally afraid of […]
13 pictures that have been on my home page
I moved into this web site about this time of year last year. At that point I was doing good to have just the blog up and running. I’ve learned a bit since then and have branched out a bit. For instance, I now have what they call a “static front page” on my site. I change out the material on it now and then. Here is some of what’s been there. 1. What I gave Mr. Al for Valentines […]
13 Spam Comments
How can I tell that no human actually read my post before the bot tried to leave a spam comment? By the nature of the spam. For instance: 1. “Searching for this for some time now – i guess luck is more advanced than search engines :)” by mafia wars how to hide showed up on Ah Maria, How Can He Measure Up?, and Suzie’s House 123: No Good Deed with the exact same wording on both. 2. “Thank you […]

13 Shiny Silver Things in my House
1. Straight pins. They’re getting quite a work out right now, so are shinned up naturally as I take them out and put them in the pin cushion. 2. My iron.

13 Places to Sleep
I’ve been running at half-mast all week long due to a cold. Seems like I’m tired and spacy all the time. Here are places – recent, remembered, or just dreamed up, I’m not always sure which – in which to discover I have fallen asleep. 1. Bed, of course. 2. The most comfortable chair in the house – a nice, over-stuffed recliner. 3. The least comfortable chair in the house – a wooden bar stool. 4. Slumped over the keyboard […]
