I have to admit it. I am a big fan of Lee at Tossing It Out I greatly enjoy his posts and admire his leadership as a blogger. Lee and other wonderful blogging buddies have an interesting and fun project: the A to Z April Challenge , which I finally decided to join.
How does the Challenge work?
The premise of the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge is to post something on your blog every day in April except for Sundays. In doing this you will have 26 blog posts--one for each letter of the alphabet. Each day you will theme your post according to a letter of the alphabet.
You will only be limited by your own imagination in this challenge. There is an unlimited universe of possibilities. You can post essays, short pieces of fiction, poetry, recipes, travel sketches, or anything else you would like to write about. You don't have to be a writer to do this. You can post photos, including samples of your own art or craftwork. Everyone who blogs can post from A to Z.
My Challenge
My challenge is to post a 50-word story every day. For the most, they will be nursing-home inspired stories.
I hope you enjoy them.

That sounds interesting! Just won't have the time to do that - unless I take my alphabet psalm and do a re-run, printing a verse per day instead of what I've done and posted the whole poem recently. Looking forward to your stories! Have fun!
Hi Doris .. great to know that you're on board .. I mentioned you in my latest post -- but that's by the by -- saying I hoped you do it & theme it exactly the way you're going to do ...
the stories will be very enlightening to so many .. great news ..
I shall enjoy them I know! Hilary
So glad to know you are participating. But shoot, I can't do a paragraph in 50 words :)

Well, I'm sure going to get over here as much as I can. I love your stories. Although try not to make me cry so much.
Good luck with it, DORIS.
I'll be watching from the wings.

I am sure I will enjoy your stories. I may have to think about joining something like this. It seems like I will be busy. I will think that I am lucky if I can get time to write my blog regularly. Good Luck to you.
Doris, thank you for the kind words. I am so happy that you have decided to join us. The 50 words sounds like an excellent plan. Maybe I should try to get some of my remaining posts down to that--or at least 150 words.

I will look forward to your nursing-home inspired stories all this next month. I always enjoy them! Glad you are doing it! Best of luck in posting every day!
Sounds fun! I'm a new follower! I post kindergarten stories, so we are at the opposite ends of the spectrum!
Have fun with the A-Z Challenge. I have other commitments, but I know it will be tons of fun.
Dearest Doris,
Will work fine for you; for sure!
Lots of love and look forward to whatever writing comes from you as it is always good!

I think that I have gathered enough energy to give it a try. Wish me luck.
I can't wait to read the stories!! Good luck the challenge :)
Doris,
This sounds like an interesting challenge, but I think I'll pass on this. I think that I post too many blogs as it is by posting 3 times a day, ha!
Well, have fun with the challenge. I look forward to reading some of your 50 word stories. :)
