  14. I didn’t make it for this week’s edition, I blame the altitude and the fact that it would be written on my phone (I actually started a story for this week’s word, but ran out of time)..So hopefully I’ll join in once again next week.

    1. Nope! Not missing anything! They haven’t submitted their stories yet. Everyone has untik midnight tonight (PST) to post for this week. I copy and paste from week to week so that I can save some time. 🙂 Oh, do you have a name other than your blog title we can call you? Welcome to the battle! 🙂

        1. 😀 Thanks, Kristin! It’s a real pleasure to have you join. I’m looking forward to reading your story. If you want to start thinking about next week, the word will be ‘Troop!’ My son turns eight today, and he picked the word for us. 🙂
