An Abecedarian Mystery


A contest for my word sleuths!

I stumbled on this sign last week while rambling around the old Fort.

What did it say...?

Give us a little indulgent fiction.
What's your take on this picture?
What's the story?

How to play:

Send it in the comments, or
by email:
faith(dot)pray(at)yahoo(dot)com.
The entries will publish in next week's blog post.

A surprise by snail mail goes to the best guess!

I'll announce the winner on Thursday, March 15.


Speaking of Alphabets...
Birdy's best girl is getting a baby quilt,
the kind where her doting aunties and friends make a square with a letter of the alphabet.
Our letter was "Q"
so, I sewed her a Queen,
with a Quill,
doing a Quiz
with Question marks,
under a Quilt.

But I didn't do it Quickly.
