I’m with Gary — I saw them as cookies first.

So the question becomes… Is my level of mystery and intrigue what’s going to set me apart from AI? 😁

At first my silly brain was certain those were fabulously decorated cookies! Then I saw the pail... Tubby Toys? Then I think I read of magnetic attraction to your refrigerator?! I’m having sensations from the classic: ā€œElephant and Telephong.ā€

I got a kick out of your interplay with the Good Lovelies! Song is in the air and feet are on the floor. Somewhat, I suppose, since twirling and walking have different amounts of floor contact. 😊

A second look at the tub toy bucket offered a glimpse of a snail? Were these the kid’s? I’m pretty sure they weren’t Greg’s...

MLK, Jr.’s comment about ā€œtake the first stepā€ seems in harmony with ā€œa journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.ā€

Loveletterist, today’s post is a burst of sight, sound, and imagination! Brava!

I AM magnetically attracted to my refrigerator! šŸ˜‚

The crabs are tub toys with suction cups on the flip side. Another remnant that I’ve hung onto like a sentimental hoarder. šŸ¤”

In my Listening Circle this morning we took turns sharing about the layers in our lives that have led us to where we are today. At my advanced age(😱) I can see how all the wide and varied experiences I’ve had give me the ability to write as I do. Grateful!

Ask! I have no idea why you are afraid. šŸ¤”

Oh! Do you remember when Karen dressed up as a lobster? In response to a drawing and story here on 3mm?

I don’t recall, but I was afraid that a tale of shellfish allergies might unfold! Is Karen and her costume somewhere in 3MM’s archives? 😊

Yes… but I’d be hard pressed to find. IIRC , it is on YouTube — a link that Karen allowed me to share with 3mm readers.

Karen… If you see this, and still have the video, will you share again?

I'm glad I saw this, Gail and Gary! As I recall, around the time Gail was diagnosed with cancer, she shared a video of Larry the Lobster, whose owner bought him at the grocery store and filmed Larry recovering the use of his claws. Larry had millions of followers (a fact I lamented as a struggling emerging author). I decided to do something to make Gail smile. I had to "swim" through a dozen files to find this video. (YouTube loses my videos, I discovered, but I had saved it on Vimeo. Hopefully this link will work.) https://vimeo.com/748013969?share=copy Enjoy the laugh!
