Susan at Stony River Farm hosts Microfiction Monday. She posts a picture and you compose a story in 140 characters. You can click on the photo or link above to get further instructions. To help you along she has posted a wonderful link that counts your characters for you! How great is that! You can get the counter at Design 215. This meme is easy and it’s a blast. Mahalo Susan for hosting. This is great fun and I encourage everyone to participate.

The Picture

“Swim Janet. Be brave and enter the water. The Gold Medal awaits you.”

“Be quiet you foolish Leprechaun. Fanny beat me to that years ago.”

  1. Hi Thom,
    Thanks for visiting my blog. Mr. Linky is there now, it is below and says it does not open until tomorrow morning. Yep I know, you are in on Tuesday! :) Can’t wait to see what your face.

    Thanks so much! Hope your weekend was good, mine was way too busy! Have a great week.

  2. Those Olympic dreams do start early for many! I hope Janet gets over her fear of the water whether she ever wins a medal or not.

  4. I wouldn’t trust that creepy Leprechaun either. Janet is wise to blow him off. :)

  6. Don’t believe that Leprochaun,Janet.
    He’s only trying to trick you!
    Great job Thom, I love the whimsy!
    Those little green guys are out in force this time of year!
    Have a good evening!

  7. That’s only a child! Surely she couldn’t have been beaten to a gold medal years ago?! (Turn about is fair play!)

  8. not bad, not bad at all. LOL.
    I was scrolling down your blog and thought what a beautiful website you have — especially with the plumerias and coconut trees, etc. Very well done, Thom. I wish I had your ability to dress up my blog. I am not good with computers.

  10. I loved this! I was sooooo hoping someone would make some kind of character of that strange old face — this was great!

  11. Don’t listen to the leprechauns! Good job, Thom!

  12. If I were Janet I wouldn’t jump… not because a leprechaun is encouraging, not because I can’t swim :-)

  13. Saint Patrick’s already….

  14. Nice to see leprechauns in an inspirational role, rather than in scary horror movies. Plus I learned something (never heard of Janet or Fanny before now). Cool story.

  19. Did I tell you that your new layout is so nice,
    that Margarita the Diva is SO JEALOUS,
    she is treating me that she may move here!
    OMG.

    I love how you are able to include St. Patrick’s Day theme
    into the MM!

  20. I was wondering too where the Leprechaun came in at.
    The wooden figure looks more Chinese to me than Irish.
    More like “Swim grasshopper Janet, swim!”
    LOL!!!
