Hi Bob, Well, I think the passing years do make us appreciative of small acts of kindness, but I was an incredibly shy teen and I remember some amazing kindness from then, too. anne
Anne, I tried to comment on your January round robin, but could only find this comment link.
I have to inform you, the Australian Women’s Weekly comes out once a month. I wonder why the title isn’t Women’s Monthly? 🙂
Hi Bob, Good point I photographed some actual weeklies in a display in the wonderful open air museum in Queensland. Sadly, they were on the pc when it crashed. I haven’t been able to find them again (Australian pics). Must do better. sorry you couldn’t comment last month. Technology and its gremlins are a constant frustration. thanks for trying again, Anne
Anne, I am commenting on the August, 2016 round robin. I don’t know how to post a comment there directly.
How terrible for a person to suffer a burnt face, particularly for a young woman! About a year ago, it happened to a marathon runner, and her fiance was a great support and they married, so you’re basing your story on reality.
Hi Bob, I see your comment here. That is a sad true life story. I hadn’t heard of it in particular, just knew that accidents happen. Thanks for dropping by, Anne

I liked the quote you gave, Anne. I had heard it before but quite forgotten it. I’m going to put that in my file of quotes.

Great post Anne and I loved your line about – let the reader know the bits of information it is important they do not get wrong. So true.
