Rochelle stretched her legs and gazed at the waves. How could she have missed it?
“It could’ve happened to anyone,” said Dale. “Cut yourself some slack.”
“I guess.” Rochelle sighed. “Nancy nailed me on it. I really didn’t remember using that photo, did you?”
“It looked kind-a familiar. And wouldn’t you know it? I wrote a similar story to what I wrote for it three years ago.”
Rochelle stood and waded into the chilly lake. “Can you believe I’ve been doing this crazy blog challenge every week for the last fourteen years?”
Dale raised her wine glass. “Viva Friday Fictioneers!”

Dear James,
The first photo I used as FF leader was one of my own. https://rochellewisoff.com/2012/10/24/of-sight-and-sound/ It was also the last time I used my title instead of the date. One of the participants complained that leading out with my title might make others use the same title. So I conceded, Maybe she was right. Nu? And then she never returned. But by the time I realized she wasn’t coming back I was in the habit of leading with the date.
Was that TMI?
Thanks for being a part of FF.

Rochelle

Dear Dale,
Actually my facillitator anniversary is in October. 😉 But it always bears repeating as the time keeps flying by and Friday Fictioneers continues. I’m incredulous that it does. I’ve seen writers come and go and come back again. Lotsa memories and good friends. Again. I’m so glad you’re a part of it.
Shalom and lotsa hugs,

So true. Some have gone on in the most literal sense. 😦 Some I’ve met in person and some in face to face calls. At any rate I joined on April 12 and was facillitator by October. When Madison stepped down I just couldn’t give it up.

Shame on you, m’lady! Fourteen years, over 700 prompts, and you missed that you’d already used one. Pah!
I guess I’ve done a few hundred myself over the years, but couldn’t contribute this week due to… Well, just life, really.
This prompt made me think of the Columbia River in Washington State. Fond memories.
Bon courage, keep going strong.
