Magpie Tales Photo Prompt Week Six



sixpenny love 



my sixpenny effort
to build our love

left nails scattered
on the 
floor. 

step
lightly.

    I can relate to this post. I once tried to build bigger than the existing foundation could ever hold. There are more than a few scattered nails left behind, land mines for those to come.

    Thank you for becoming a "follower" of my blog and the words of support. Glad to have found you as well.

    God, Rick, you really can wring so much of a relationship with a minimum of words!

    Peter....And yet I always want to say more!

    Berowne...thank you again! As always, your story was a delight to read! Are we going to see some of these stories on the screen??

    Rob and Brian...Appreciate both your comments. Brian, maybe I should drag out my old Red Wing steel toe shoes!!

    Catalyst...Very kind of you to say, but master I'm not! Thank you!

    Joanny...Thank you... I can still smile!

    It is a gift to condense a huge experience into 15 crisp words. Good work.
