Janet at the Lavender Loft put up an interesting challenge.
When given a random letter, can you put up six things (or 10) related to you and to that letter. Things you love.
The letter she picked for me was R. That's a toughie...
Radio -- namely public radio! I love it all -- "Morning Edition," "All Things Considered," "Prairie Home Companion," "Splendid Table," and the music! (Here with PHC's Garrison Keillor)
Rock and Roll -- not the total head banging rock, but classic rock. As in, "I Like that Old Time Rock and Roll" (a Bob Seeger favorite!)
Rosemary -- one of my favorite herbs to grow, to smell and to dry. (And I'm also fond of my friend Rosemary, too!)
Relatives -- I love my family! They're fun, funny, creative, crazy, loyal, smart, divinely human and compassionate and caring to the max.
Reading -- I don't do it enough -- I've only read 14 books this year, and that's down from last year. But a couple have been long and meaty! (The Diana Chronicles were very good!)
Raffia -- I love it for wrapping things, using it in art, and using it for home decoration. And I love the natural as well as the colorful!
Reconciliation -- It's a wonderful word. And when it happens, it's beautiful.
Riccola -- My favorite cough and throat drop. Specifically, sugar-free lemon mint. If they weren't so expensive, I would have given them out for Halloween.
Redbirds -- OK, it's a stretch -- you all know I mean cardinals! But they're redbirds around here!
Rick -- Because I saved the best for last!
If you want a random letter -- post here and I'll pass one along!
I'll take a vowel, please, good buddy.
ReplyDeleteGreat exercise for writers- and just plain fun!

No letters for me, Jeanie. I have enough problems in my life! I just have to tell you, after viewing that last photo: you have such a beautiful and I am sure infectious smile!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice treat to see (along with your red tree) this dreary morning.
I don't think "R" was too hard for you! You came up with some great ones. Reading would definitely be on my "R" list, too. And I like rock 'n' roll and just about everything else on your list!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your Rs (of course). How fun!
ReplyDeleteYou DID do a very good job with the Rs. And where did you get the picture of your crazy relatives? And I have to agree with the other comment that you do have a beautiful smile - it lights up a room.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, Jeanie! Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI'm game for a random letter(if you want you can send it to my yahoo-joycerodli@yahoo.com). Is that you in the lime green sweater? Happy happies. Joyce
ReplyDeleteI believe that the picture of your relatives was taken at Linda's bat mitzvah!
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed your post!
What a great list, and beautiful pictures! I'll give this one a try, if you still have some letters available...
