Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

This is our contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop for the week of Half-past November (Quarter-to-Thanksgiving, not to put too fine a point to our little jeu de mots*) No, our task is more serious than that. We are charged with creating a list of Ten Things (‘the first ‘F’s’ in the childhood limerick**) the people, places and things that elicit, are complicit, inspire and bring to mind a state of gratitude.

This week:

1) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine ’cause as anybody tell ya, ‘sine qua non’

4) writing made-up (and not-so-made-up) stories at a couple of ‘hops, to wit: Grat #5 and Grat #3

6) the Unicorn Challenge (where we sent this little effort Here)

7) only forty-two days until Summer begins to start
