Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Created by Lizzi, sometime in 1987, it’s been on a run that Cats, South Pacific and Doctor Dolittle might rightly envy.
Currently hosted by Dyanne. She was one of the original co-hostinae, back in 2013. When she’s not herding Lilliputians at the local feed ‘n grain, she can be found, all Lady of the Lakes, at the family retreat in the northern provinces.
Dyanne does not toil alone.
There are co-hostinae. They, each of them, hail from a different corner of Oceania:
- Mimi from the southern-most reaches of the Les Acadien region.
- Patricia from the Primodia Territories, and
- Lisa from the more remote edges of Pocosinia
Each are responsible for keeping the forward movement, the weekly-ness. if you will, of this exercise engaged, so that any who would find a grat hop refreshing, the TToT is here. As Lizzi surely intended, (little direct evidence remained after her disappearance in the wilds of Northumberland), in early 2007.
As for us, here at the Wakefield Doctrine, we maintain that, in a world of dissonance and conflict, ten (10) things are usually available, (by any of the eight senses), to remind us that we walk upright on two legs not only to reach the cereal, in the cabinet to the left of the stove, but to keep the traditional center of the mind closest to a reliable escape route.
Our Ten:
1) Una ——————————————–↓
2) Phyllis—————–↑
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) serial stories: ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf‘ and ‘the Whitechapel Interlude‘
5) our ongoing real estate term paper, ‘the 20 Minute Real Estate Briefing‘ every Wednesday and…. ( @CoastalNew )
6) the feature we have on our Instagram… ‘Where in South County are we?’. Twice a week, we post photos of local landmarks (the semi-famous ones). It’s fun, sorta like a nine-piece jigsaw puzzles or a restaurant placemat… This being the internet… if you’d like to join in from your own region (there most be some way to do that)… friend…or join or link or whatever single-syllable set of directions from our millennial ward attendants deem sufficient…. here, the Coastal New England Real Estate Team #coastalnere join the fun.
7) the Six Sentence Story an exercise in imaginative brevity. (flash fiction)
8) THIS SPACE AVAILABLE (If you’d like to take this grat hop for a test drive, send us an Item of Thankful and we’ll post it right here. See how it feels, ya know?
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3

Thank you all for the TTOT
Momentum leads to more momentum.
Where are we? Shall i post a picture of the swamp?
I do not disagree… funny, writing this reply while writing this week’s Six… connection
Love that reminder of why we walk upright, but in all seriousness having a reliable escape route is not something to put on “I’ll figure that one out later” list.
You sent me to checking out exactly where it is I am. A perfect description.
A nice wrap up with James Taylor.
Thanks for the note on location… those old days in Laurentia how can we ever forget?
lol
Lovely dogs! Thank for the sweet comment in French (very good translation!)
Have a great week too ;)
Google Translate gets all the credit
Funny connection with our dog, Una, we bought her from a breeder in the Czech Republic (there were no breeders of Chodsky pes in the US at the time) and we had to use google translate to coordinate with Jana (the breeder)
worked
Your #6? Kind of thinking of doing something along those lines for A to Z Challenge. Not sure if I’m going to feel the urge to Challenge strongly enough to do it, though.
I heart James Taylor
yeah, what’s the deal with the ‘good idea, but I might not feel up to it’
aiiyeee
I know for a fact that my <18yo self was all, "When I'm out on my own and can do whatever I want, just watch me..."
You let no dust settle. Nice week!
forward motion, seems to be the only alternative, ya know?
