Come on in, let’s get this party started. You are most welcome.
Do make yourself comfortable.
Refreshments are nicely arranged down the page: Drinks, Chocolates, Cakes, Donuts, freshly squeezed juice, Coffee, Tea and so much more.
We even have an Intercontinental Chef in the house, just place your orders
The little rules of play:
- You must mix and mingle with others. Donβt be a wallflower. Go say hello to someone and you can participate in the Tag a poem/story below, spot the difference, riddle and do tell us where you are partying from π
- Β Please leave your blog link or post link in the comment box below along with an introduction.
- Itβs one link per comment, but come back as often as youβd like, that way itβs easier to focus on a link at a time for others.
- Please reblog, spread the word of the party like butter, or like, share on Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Facebook, etc. Tell your family, friends, Β blogging neighbours, even your blogging pets.
- Have fun, itβs a great way to find bloggers and have them find you.
- Please show some love. Reblog this post. It helps all of us! The more people that see and participate in it, the more potential new follows! So, share and share voraciously!
There we have it. Since all the rules have been clearly explained, have fun and make the most of it
Thank you for coming to my party and supporting my blog. You rock.
- Let’s get to know you better. Where are you partying from?
I’m currently in Dubai – acronym DXB. A fabulous desert city in United Arab Emirates.
A little Summer tale…
We wore Summer dresses
spun like flower coloured cotton
that sat on each stalk
…….Feel free to add yours in the comment. I collate everyone’s contribution and publish it with their links attached.
Can you spot the difference?
Can you help the poor farmer below?
A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn’t want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils.
At the market, a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils.
Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sack is considered soiling.
To trade in sacks is not allowed. The farmer can’t cut a hole in his sack.
How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper’s sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce?
Please have some fun, mingle and make friends. Thank you π
P.S. You can send in your music request and I’ll try to find it. The Michael Jackson is on Nedoux request. Thank you, girl.
Hope I’m not too late to join the party! I spent the day at the movies with my son and daughter-in-law. Always fun!

Hi Jacqueline, thanks for the invite to this party. I live in Australia, east coast above Sydney….
I have been blogging for about 3 years on WP. I love the challenges of addressing creative creative writing prompts. I write about what my heart says is the place to go. I will share one piece with you:
https://summerstommy.com/2016/05/27/prompt-nights-rain-showers-my-spirit-and-waters-my-soul/
My blog is called morpethroad, which is where i live. My url is summerstommy who are two characters I created way back when I was exploring aspects of myself, thankfully I addressed that part of me and have moved on though occasionally they do emerge in a piece of writing as characters I use to address a concept I may be exploring. Exploring ideas is what I love to do, you never know where they might take you.
Summer Tale
Despite the oppressive heat
the need to hide from the burning rays
I slide over to you
we chat about the we that we are
we know soon it will cool
the beach will invite us
to walk through the break
hold hands and be young again.

Awesome party, JACQUELINE! I am partying from the U.S. and really enjoying the Merry-go-round, the wine, and the fabulous shrimp scampi! As for my music request … how about some Quincy Jones? Love his music! I found the difference in the picture … it’s the sun, of course. However, if the farmer cannot cut his sack, then I am at a loss to help him. π¦

A little Summer taleβ¦
We wore Summer dresses
spun like flower coloured cotton
that sat on each stalk …
The sun kissed our tresses
And kindled our thoughts on
Where to rest our toes from our walk
*****
I’m dying to know how the poor farmer up there figured out the solution! I would just have the innkeeper buy another sack, put the lentils in that, then pour the peas into the innkeepers sack, then pour the lentils back in the farmers sack. But, I suspect that is not the solution to the riddle!

What a great party, thank you for having me!
