Before I get started with the story today, I will say that this month I have been very short on time so I haven't narrated for you this time. Maybe when I have a minute I can get that done, but for now I hope you will be happy with the pictures and story to read on your own! 

Elldridge, Hermione and Boots were anxiously waiting for a Telegram from Forget-Me-Knot about how meeting Alexander’s parents had gone.

the count and countess.

They hadn’t been able to afford the expensive fare to cross the ocean to attend the ceremony so Knottie had gone alone. Well, she wasn’t really alone as Elizabeth was there with her family and of course Winston, Newton and Cordelia were there as well.

Elldridge couldn’t help but get a little angry. Of course they were there, she thought. They were related to that Alexander boy through Cordelia’s husband’s family. She will never stop being angry with her sister for introducing her favorite child to that handsome nephew of hers.

Just then she noticed the Telegram Delivery Boy approaching her from his buggy. She couldn’t help but think, I wonder how he knew she was on the beach.

 Here's the image for this month, in case you want to play along!

Here is how it works if you want to play along:

• Vicki, Nat and I have made a one-year commitment to each other and picked twelve photos with Whatevers whom we will give a story.
• Every month – if possible always on the 15th –  each of us will do a post with an individual story that goes along for us with the same photo.
• If you want you can play along and we will have the photo for you – just right click on it to safe it to download and show us your version of The Whatevers.
• There are no rules to the story itself- it can be funny, sad, uplifting, breathtaking- WHATEVER
• There are no rules on the length or the form of the story- it can be a short sentence, an essay, a poem or a soap opera – WHATEVER
• There are no rules on the art form you choose – it can be a scrapbook layout, an altered art project, an art journal page – WHATEVER
• Here is a rule though: if you take the photo you have to link back to us and show us your story.
• These pictures are from our personal stash and are for personal use for you only! If you want to use them for a publication whether a book or magazine in print or digital form please ask for permission!
