Some of you may recognize this prompt and story. I first posted it in 2019. If you have a story for this prompt feel free to use it. It’s my birthday this week so it seems the perfect time for a repost. Happy September y’all.

This week’s prompt features an old abandoned car which looks to be an old mid-nineteen fifties Chevrolet. It’s surrounded by trees.

“What’s so special about 1953?”   

            For one, Bob Wisoff bought his first car. A ’53 Chevrolet Bel Air.

            September 4, he and Evalyne welcomed their second child.  

            On the same date, West Indian native, Clothilda Jacobs delivered her 5th child, Lawrence. It was the twelfth day of New York’s longest recorded heatwave.

            The Chevy is long gone.

            Lawrence went on to delight audiences as Sweathog Freddy “Boom-Boom” Washington with a cocky grin and, “Hi there.”   

            Bob’s daughter, Rochelle, married and raised three sons. She still creates art, literature, and, occasionally, a bit of havoc.  

            It was a very good year.

  • P.S. InLinkz didn’t let me sign in, even when I put in my email username and password. It kept putting a little box saying its sending me an email to confirm my email address, but nothing came through. Not in Spam, either. So I’m unable to upload my link for some reason. Oh bummer. Any clue what’s the issue? xx

    • I’ve no clue what gives with inLinkz. At any rate, I linked your story. However it didn’t give me the option of using your seaside logo.

      My husband hasn’t been able to get on WP to comment on my stories. He finally gave up. I don’t have a clue why all the glitches are happening. 😦

      • Thank you! Never mind about the seaside photo – I’ll wear a different photo for this week … 😉 I’m so sorry about the glitches. Perhaps the world as a whole is glitching … it sure seems this way … oy!

    • Dear David,

      It amazes me to look back and see who’s come and gone and come back again in FF. I’m also amazed that I’m going on thirteen years as facillitator. Even the creator of the challenge tells me I’ve taken it farther than she ever could have. There are weeks I think it’s not worth the effort but when I think of shutting it down, I just can’t. It’s been an adventure I never would’ve gone on.

      At any rate, I’m happy that you’ve been a part of it and that we’ve actually gotten to meet in person.

      Glad you enjoyed my story. Thank you for the birthday wishes. It’s been a great visit with the visit of our youngest son.

      Shalom,

      Rochelle
