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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. A gratitude ‘hop with a difference. All are invited to share the people. places, things and events that have inspired, registered as, incited a condition of gratitude. Willingly or not. All candidates for first-time participation are advised that there is one and only one condition for inclusion into the company of grat bloggers and that is ‘good intent’.

(That’s it on definition, explanation, qualification for taking part in this weekly exercise. Content? Format? Items? Freedom Hall, yo.)

That said, and despite what your parents said to your preadolescent-self the morning of your 2nd day in Junior High School (‘Middle School’ for those of you who are not… old) “Don’t worry you’ll fit right in, you have a lot in common with your classmates.”

Just to be on the safe-side, below is the Wakefield Doctrine’s TToT. (in case you finally realized that your parents were just being kind.) lol

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

8) something, something

9) Hypo-grat. With mid-Summer upon us, the appearance of creatures with way more legs than any lifeform needs. (Really, eight?! Four works for pretty much anything not flying and, not for nothin’, the human race gots only two and… apex predator yo. I will say, before I get a note from Mimi (the Overseerini of hypo-grats) tht fortunately the ones showing up on the lawn are… of a size. And simply put, there ain’t enough food in the house to sustain them for more than one American International matinee.

10) Secret Rule 1.3
