Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.
Created by Lizzi in the Year 3 AD* and has continued to this day. It is, arguably, the longest continuously published gratitude bloghop in the history of the virtual world. (Even if thats not quite accurate, it is the one blog in which we are listed as a co-host.)

The Creatress Hostinae: 1852 to 2015**
** somewhere between the start and when Josie stepped up
Despite being neither a loyal subject of the British Empire or OBE recipient, Josie maintained, in her CV, that she resided in a place ‘where the deer and the antelope play’
Once the time came for a third host, Kristi, stepped up with an unhesitating grace and enthusiasm that characterized her tenure, which can sometimes be mistaken for herding cats. All concerned are grateful.
The announcement of Dyanne becoming the newest hostinae here at the Ten Things of Thankful was met with a surprised but very pleased reaction from Readers. Much like the audience response when the contestant who, earlier in the week is awarded the title Ms. Congeniality, but then proceeds to be named (fill-in your choice of anachronistic beauty pageant*) ‘Miss/Mrs/Miz America/World/Multiverse’
* of course, in the metaphorical hands of anyone other than a certain personality theory, this description might be met with a chorus of “No, he di’int!” and “Did they just use a beauty pageant as an analogy for being the best person to become the next host of a gratitude blog?!” “…nobody better tell Lizzi! Sometimes you gotta wonder about them folks at that Doctrine place.”
We are grateful for:
1) Una
2) Phyllis
3) Wakefield Doctrine
4) Kristi
5) Wendy
6) Mimi, Lisa, Pat and all the hostinae that’ve served the TToT down through the years: thanks guys
8) THIS SPACE AVAILABLE
9) Dyanne
10) Secret Rule 1.3

We are all so thankful to Dyanne. It’s cat herding at its finest, but i will do my best to cooperate with the new powers that be.

Well, thanks for the shout out and for making me an ENTIRE ITEM on the list! Woot!
I have a Lyle Lovett cd that I play sometimes at school. The kids could care less, but I love it!

ain’t nothin he records what I don’t like
A TTOT that is also a historical novel, very nice!
This post is simple and direct while at the same time kind of reminds me of a college exam where the students are handed a list of subjects and told to pick one and write all they know about the subject. Considering how long some of us have been participating the the TToT blog hop, I think that at the very least that could lead to stirring up some great memories.
Love the photo of Phyllis looking at Una.
interesting how I might have responded (or, in fact, did respond…not that I remember any writing back in the before time).
it’s been something like seven, maybe six and a half years since …. Lizzi taught the band to play*
