HayDay Friends Off-Topic

Hello friends! I miss you all. I think (fingers crossed) I am doing better! Here are pics of my maternal grandparents and my paternal great grandparents. I love all your shots. I got a bunch of old photos from my parents when they passed but I haven't done much with them yet. There are so many random photos of unknown folks. Carolyn, my grandpas family came from Kansas too!

Always be yourself, but if you can't be yourself, then be a pirate! GC: pristoph Level 53

Oh, Val!!! I was just thinking of you!! Literally! :). Your maternal grandparents, if they are on the left, I can see you and your daughter! You are a mixture and your daughter looks like grandma. Is that accurate? And they are so young compared to paternal side. Kansas! This grandpa was the maternal grandpa? How old would he be today? Do you know if he was Amish or Mennonite?

I just saw my Neurologist today!! Another round!! Are you able to come play more?? Let me know! I'm so glad you posted!! :)

Hey sweets! I'm rockin my new treatments. Still too early to call it though...give it a few more weeks at least. But I'm feeling better and getting out of the house a bit!
I don't think they were Amish or Mennonite.
Those on the left are grandparents and the really old folk are great grandparents (did I miss saying "great"?, lol). I don't have their birth info handy, but the last name was Shipman.

Ha! You wrote "great" I just didn't read it! Lol!!
 
Since we are taking an Avatar Change break...I was thinking about doing a Community Story. Someone starts writing a story, maybe a paragraph or a few sentences, then someone else adds more, etc. At 5 continuations, the last person finishes out the story. Then, anyone can start the next story.

RULES
1. This is for fun
2. Anyone can join in
3. Stay appropriate to an open forum with all ages, all races, all countries, etc. able to read what was written without being offended
4. Person who starts story types COMMUNITY STORY at beginning.
5. First "Continuer" types CS1, second types CS2.
6. If you are Continuer CS5, you will conclude the story. (Maybe 5 is too many or too few...we will see)
7. You can be a successive Continuer if you wish.
8. You don't have to be eloquent to join...add your unique talent...if you're funny, edgy, moody, etc., show us!!

We can give it a try... see if it is fun or a nuisance or an epic fail!! Lol!

I'll start...
 
COMMUNITY STORY

It was a dark, moonless night. Cold, yet dry. The sounds of an owl hooting and a pack of coyotes howling fill the air. Alone, I walk on a pathless trail, my steps being the first. I have no destination, but I instinctively continue on. I have come to the top of the ridge line and must decide my next step. After quick consideration, I choose to ...

CS1
turn left and avoid the extreme drop that I remember comes up quickly on the right. I know I am being followed but hope my nonchalance is not mistaken for disregard. I quicken my pace ever so slightly and am determined I will not trip as my eyes have adjusted to the dark and my senses are heightened. The stillness is unnerving but I must continue forward. In the distance and over the next rise, I know there is the safety of a cabin, filled with.....

OMG, the cabin in the woods turns out to be a winery. Yet what lurks behind the winery is anyone's guess, also have no idea what blend is in the winery, so I follow my nose, should I walk thru the barrel wooden doors?
