angleigh Report post Posted February 6 So we got hit with another round of wintry weather yesterday and I'm going a little stir crazy and could use a little silliness. So I thought it was time for a Never Ending Story and since we didn't have an official game scheduled for this month, I figured this would be perfect. If you haven't played along it's pretty simple. I will start with a short paragraph, and the next person adds onto it. By the time we are done we have this story that's full of twists and turns and alot of laughter. We will play through midnight EST on the 24th. Then I will put everyone's name who played along in a drawing. 1 lucky person will win a $5 gift certificate and 2 others $3. Enjoy...I'll start the story below. -------- It was a cold winter's day, one of those days that you wanted to do nothing more then curl up on the couch with your blankets and a good book. As I sit watching it snow out the window I couldn't help but let my mind wonder, and I started thinking about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyscrapalot Report post Posted February 6 I blinked my eyes and looked around. I then realized I had fallen asleep while I had been watching the snow falling. I must have slept along time as it was now dark outside. Suddenly I heard a loud noise. What was that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marie-Christine Report post Posted February 6 The loud noise sounded like someone knocking at the door,I wasn't expecting any one and wondered who it could be.

Mikelle Report post Posted February 7 My Uncle was known to travel, wandering the earth visiting all sorts of what I thought were exciting places. But the year before, he had traveled to Antarctica, which was the only continent he had never been to. Once there, he planned to travel around via dogsled. We haven’t heard from him since. Why now could I see my Uncle in this snowman come to life? I put on my coat and scarf and hat and joined him outside... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will need you to do things so I can find my way home again, are you willing to try, are YOU willing to ask for help?...... I thought hard and I answered......
