Blogging/Writing Prompts & Challenges. This includes those I’ve participated in and/or responded to, as well as any I may proffer and/or host. 🙃
Day Nine: What is the most memorable gift you have received? Hmm… A book from my sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Turner. Which I actually still have in my collection, though very much worn, having been well-loved and repeatedly read. It’s The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare.
