Challenge 2008-7 - Sunday April 27, 2008

MiLords & MiLadies:

Welcome to the newest challenge.  With Spring upon us and Summer not far off, it's time to start thinking about vacations.  With that in mind, my question to you is this:

What's the best vacation you've ever had?

You can post pictures, write a poem, story, or just a description of this vacation.  You must have actually gone on the vacation though! Did someone go with you or was it an adventure you had on your own?  Was it a family affair?  What did this vacation teach you about life, love or the world?

Leave your link here or just let me know you've posted so I can link you.  Remember to comment on those who have a link here.  And if you're blog is protected YOU MUST MAKE THIS ENTRY PUBLIC otherwise I will not link it.  Also, please remember to make a link on your own entry to either this site or the blog ring so everyone know's where you got the challenge from (I do so appreciate it!)

You have until the end of the month and you may start now!

I wouldn't call it the best vacation...but I did just come from one and wrote about my mis-adventures. Does that count?

This one will be so easy - we've had one "no kids" vacation and one "with kids" spectacular vacaqtion -- so I will write about them both

Dear Jeri,

One of the drawbacks to being on Xanga for four years is that I've probably already written something for almost any blogtopic writing prompt anybody can think of. However, instead of pulling out old Internet Island or FG topic entries for same subject, I might attempt to write a new one for this subject. I take far too few vacations, so I'm sure I have some great memories of one or two of them.

I'll get back to you when and if I post.

I've only had one vacation where I went anywhere in my entire life so I guess I'll pass on this one.

Dear Jeri,

I have seen others combine entries for the KOTQ and Featured Grownups before, and I'm doing that this time out, but with a bit of a twist. I've posted and entry titled "Spring Break Into Romance" detailing my Spring 2000 internet lovesearch, and the vacation I took to the Grand Canyon.

I think I have talked about vacations way too much in my blogs so I will be skipping this one.  Sorry.   Hopefully I can come up with an idea or suggestion for a future challenge later.

Dear Jeri,

I might be able to make a go of this one. Not too much romance in my life, but I'm sure there's something I'll be able to remember if I go back far enough in time.

Greetings.. It seems I've been away from the Kweendom for far too long but I have returned and my post is here: A Most Romantic Gift. peace

Dear Jeri,

I hope I'm not too late. HERE is my entry. If you read it, you will see that I "cheated" a bit. I hope you don't mind.

As usual, I will attempt to visit, star, and comment on the posted entries in the challenge.  I use the recommend sparingly, only recommending those posts I find outstanding. This is a feature which seems to really get a lot of traffic to your site. (believe me)

Thanks for the opportunity to write for the Kween of the Queens, which is always a pleasure.

ohhhh thank you....I changed it! LOL!

I guess i just think if you need a vacuum cleaner you get one, shouldn't have to be a gift! LOL!

Dear Jeri,

I've commented everyone except the last one. (for Moonfire9) Your link didn't work, and I can't find a KOTQ entry on the site. Sorry.

@prettynosyarentu - Thank you my swet friend!  See, the thing is, my hubby always, and I mean ALWAYS goes overboard for Christmas.  So if I ask for something specific, I'll get that plus tons of other stuff  too!  Maybe that's why it doesn't bother me as much!

Posted 4/5/2008 at 12:46 AM by Kween_of_the_Queens

@madamzephyrus - Oh I never get tired of reading about your mystery man! ;)

Posted 4/5/2008 at 12:48 AM by Kween_of_the_Queens

@Moonfire9 - Yes Milady, you absolutely should make your blog ring posts public!  Thank you!~Kween

Posted 4/5/2008 at 2:12 PM by Kween_of_the_Queens
