Skipped some, then thought I was on the ball with getting the one from 9/12 in before 9/19. FoRRL says otherwise. Anyway, here's my entry for the 9/12 words.<br /><br />http://imstumped.blogspot.com/2009/09/words-for-this-weeks-ten-word-challenge.htmlAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426290835013288724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-23517305417642986982009-09-14T09:02:53.319-04:002009-09-14T09:02:53.319-04:00I'm late this week getting round to read other...I'm late this week getting round to read other people's stories... If you had not said you thought it was hard this week I could not have guessed! Good job with all three. In the last one, I loved the phrase "Lark, whose food could make your soul sing"...DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-58436829491853324602009-09-14T06:21:47.664-04:002009-09-14T06:21:47.664-04:00I'm not quite sure how I am going to fit balle...I'm not quite sure how I am going to fit ballet, tinsel, and fizzing into next week's writing response.<br /><br />But, as usual, you posted 3 great responses to this week's words. I especially liked your ten-word one. I think I would skip the alligator pot pie in your mega. I'm not found of reptiles, even dead ones.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-57898780789281856222009-09-13T17:32:52.067-04:002009-09-13T17:32:52.067-04:00I liked your stories.

As for Martin being a hero, I have a feeling that a lot of heroes don't intentionally set out to be one. Sometimes being a hero is mostly being at the right place at the right time. Perhaps someday they'll make a movie about "Alligator" Martin. In the second story, it's good that the priest was able to help out the young girl, while keeping an appropriate distance. The third story had a nice feeling about it, about a chef making a pot pie in memory of his late mentor. I like pot pies, but I've never had one with alligator in it. It sounds like it might be good, though.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting on my stories, which I got posted rather late.<br /><br />Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA<br />http://stephen-has-spoken.blogspot.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652404381086061102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-69773493857223371402009-09-13T12:12:52.293-04:002009-09-13T12:12:52.293-04:00I love the phrase 'drunk as a skunk'!

Even in the glummest of times Raven, you use words masterfully.<br /><br />I especially like the pastor -- finding joy in the pleasure of others.Reston Friends!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09284723582614269862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-68763785188024967202009-09-12T14:33:03.286-04:002009-09-12T14:33:03.286-04:00Loved all three this week.

The pastor came across as wise and kind (as they shoudl I suppose, but don't always).<br /><br />And your mega? Wow! I was quite moved by it, I must say, and the set words slid in soooo smoothly I barely noticed them at all.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.com
