Hi Challengeers.
Now that our UP AND DOWN winners have had a little bit of time in the spotlight, it's time to give a cheer to all those who didn't quite make it to the top, but did very well. So if your entry appears on any of these lists, you deserve a pat on the back.
Love, Deb

When words are drops of color
Which blend into a work of art,
They enter in your garden
And cultivate the heart.

I waited up last night to see if my favorites that didn't make the top ten made the top 40, and was glad to see this morning many of them did.
Yet some are missing, which tells me the caliber of writing continues to go up and the judging keeps getting tougher.
Congratulations to everyone on the list. Dee, you got that dratted 11th place this week. I read your story this morning--it made for the most pleasant coffee-sipping time.
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

Congratulations to ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the winners! There were lots of good reads this week. (I didn't have time to read them all but the ones I did read were well-written.)
In the twilight of my years, may His Light shine more brightly.
