Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture only paints 140 characters.
Susan at Stony River has begun a Microfiction Monday wherein participants write a story in 140 characters based on a particular image that Susan has chosen for the day. Design 215’s Character Counter helps keep track of the number of characters. It’s a fun exercise in creative conciseness…or concise creativity…
It’s funny how different people’s personalities come out in just 140 characters!
Here’s today’s picture and my story:
“Over the river and through the woods,” they had sung on the way to Grandma’s house. Stuffed and sleepy, they had a much quieter drive home.
Visit Susan’s for different takes on the picture, or to join in the fun yourself!
Stray Thoughts 
You are right, we are all unique in our perspective!
I liked this, I think a little part of each of us is in this somewhere.
Exactly how my family felt after we ate on Thanksgiving!
Happy MM!
So true!
Hurray for quiet drives home!
LOL
You know… when I first saw this picture yesterday, my first thought was over the river and through the woods … but I wonder WHY – there are no woods in the picture! Funny that we both thought it though! Of course, I didn’t play… I will… one of these days! LOL!
I think because of the time of year. When I looked at the picture Sunday night, I thought of several families making their way back home after visiting for Thanksgiving.
Oh how fun and true this is. Great take on this 🙂 Well done my friend 🙂

Carry On Tuesday
Very nice. This picture had a bright, happy feel to it. You captured it well.
I didn’t play this week. Other things kept me away from my comp today.
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your kind words on my smocking.
What a cute post!
You’re really good with this microfiction thingy, Barbara!
This is excellent….great writing skills Barbara
A gentle take on the picture–that’s nice. And I can see all the sleepy heading nodding in the back seat. Takes me back.
Yours was the kindest one of all…and I appreciated the sentiment. Nicely done!
I remember those days well – by the time we got home they were both asleep and HEAVY to carry in the house. Once we got them into their beds after breaking our backs, their little voices would pipe up, “are we home? Let’s play!”
