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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Every week, since the summer of 1895 (when London was in the grips of a growing evil), one woman gathered her scant belongings, (her clothes, a diary, rag-torn tiger pajamas and her trusty laptop) and escaped the city. Taking up residence in the village of Pressed-Rat-on-Warthog, outside the thriving seaport of Personchester, our Founderette wrote. And, so, now, we take-up keyboards in honor of her vision: ‘Those Good People, Places, Things and Events? Focus on them! Go on wid ya.”

Following are the people, places, things and events we look to in our effort to increase the valence of the positive and, in doing so, decrease the attraction of the negative.

Plus! We get to post fun photos (old, new, imaginary and, ‘No! Really! This is what we witnessed’)

So if you’re reading this, Welcome to the TToT. Our Hostinae (yeah, they have a ton of writing skills, not to mention a certain maturity, …their lists will make sense.)

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the pond’s water level, not to mention reflectivity, continues to rise. cool, non?

5) three houses (of sort) in the woods

6) Hey! We were going to list the Hostinae, (and we still will), hold on. But being in a mode of recruitment, what say we stick some names and links of others including some former hostettes? Current staff: Mimi, Dyanne, Kristi, Lisa, Denise, cai, KnitCat and Misky.  (From the Before Time: Christine, zoe, Kristi One)

7) Ola’s tree… the serpentine tree extending out over her grave. So, Ola had this thing where, if you gave her a largish rock, she would move it hither and fro by virtue of digging the ground to either side, Imparting a slight bias to one side or another would allow her to determine the rock’s path. Being a considerate German Shepherd, when doing this in the fenced in backyard, Ola made a point of sticking to the perimeters. The pine was somewhat young when Ola’s rock trenched its way by and the rest… as you can see, phototropism waits for no canine.

8) something, something

9) Six Sentence Story bloghop

10) Secret Rule 1.3 (Come on, ask. You know you want to!)
