Cosme from bCL Photography invited me to participate the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge. I don’t remember what brought me to his blog, but I know I keep following his blog not only because he is a great photographer, but also because he is a wonderful person.
The rules of Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge require you to post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo (It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or simply a short paragraph) and then nominate another blogger to carry on this challenge. Accepting the challenge is entirely up to the person nominated, it is not a command.
I would like to invite Lois at …On Pets and Prisoners… to join the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge. I don’t know how many times after reading Lois’ blog, I have had a smile on my face for a whole day. 😉
Here is my first photo/story…
Last year, while visiting my nephew in Virginia, one day I got up early and washed my hair. As I was about ready to blow-dry my hair, I heard my grandniece crying, so I rushed to her room; my hair was still wet.
“Good morning, Vanessa! Don’t cry. I am here,” I said.
She took a quick look at me with her tearful eyes, and then got out of the bed, walked right past me.
“Where are you going?” I asked.
She didn’t answer. She walked across the hallway, and tried to open a closet.
“What do you need? May I help?”
She ignored me. On her third try, she finally opened the closet door. She then grabbed a bath towel and placed it in my hand.
She was 2 year old.

I am so happy for you. But… now that it’s getting warmer, do you still need the heater? I suppose there is still some cold days?

It has been unseasonably cold this past week or so. Last night was actually below freezing and the windowshield this morning we had to scrape. Our highs have been in the low to mid 50s.

Sometimes, helping makes us forget what we needed help from before.

I absolutely love your photo and story. I will be following you and the challenge. I recently spent three days with my grandchildren and their parents in Pacific Grove, near the Monterey Aquarium. A 5 year old, a 3 year old, and a 4 month old showed me how difficult it is to take photos of children!!
