Back in June 2016, I started a new "series" of posts... if you will... 2 years now!!!
 And so on Wednesdays; I've been posting an old photograph to inspire your creativity.
Write a poem!   
 Plot out a short story.
 Have inspiration for a piece of art or composition.... let your artistic soul shine.
--and occasionally I write my own sordid story or poem. 
 (you can click on the photos in this post to make it larger to see).

Willa had an adventurous spirit.
Her sisters, Felicity and Prudence, fully lived up to their names... thankfully, Willa's parents didn't go with the traditional
 'chaste' names of the times, and named her after her paternal grandfather.
Like her grandfather before her... she was always getting into scrapes...

There was the time when she was very little... and she had climbed up on the roof of her home,
only to watch with bemusement as her family searched high and low for her.
There was the time she stole her father's farm truck and went joyriding with her friends, only to end up in a ditch and walking home.
And of course, there was the time she spiked the punch at the church social... and everyone blamed the minister's son.

Here she is (many) years later on one of her "summer holiday" trips.
Every summer, she and her unmarried girlfriends would travel to a new location.
On this trip... they cruised around the 1000 Islands in New York State.
(afterwards, there was battered fish and beer to be had).
