Blog Dare:74


Today's Prompt:   Post an old photo...and tell us what was happening at that moment.

As Franklin County Youth Fair Miss Congeniality 1993, I had the pleasure of handing out ribbons and trophies, but the best part of my 4 day reign was the Chubby Bunny Contest!
The local Mayor helped us to raise money for the local 4-H extension, by stuffing as many marshmallows into his mouth for a small donation.
(Please, note me cracking up in the lower left hand corner.)


I had a grandfather that lived in South St. Louis, and we would visit during the summer months. At 6 years of age, I would talk nonstop, making it impossible for the adults to hold a conversation. My grandpa  told me that I could play in the hose, and there might a bucket in the garage to fill up with water. I played in the hose for awhile, before I thought it would just be easier to go swimming!
Thank goodness the offer of walking the two blocks to Ted Drew's Frozen Custard was offered, or I might have stayed in the bucket the rest of the day.

It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
