Welcome to the new site. I’m still working on this and that, but the basic structure is in place. I think it turned out quite nicely. But please, let me know what you think. Like everything, this is a work in progress.
I have to tell you that I worked and worked to get the site ready for today. After all, a week without mutterings is just too sad to comprehend!!
What are Mutterings? It’s a fun game of word prompts. You simply copy these word prompts (created by the lovely Elizabeth at LunaNina) into the comment section. Answer whatever comes into your head first. This is an easy, fun way to start the week. If you have time, come back to take a look at what other people have said. It’s amazing how similar, and different we are!
Here are your word prompts:
- Block ::
- Comforter ::
- Santa ::
- Tape ::
- Humor ::
- Charity ::
- Receipt ::
- Hospice ::
- Stuffing ::
- Binge ::
Here are my responses:
