Alan and I had a ‘full and frank’ discussion at our ‘summit’. Rejoice that we have decided to keep it going a little while longer at least. Watch the Sepia Saturday page for a call for volunteers in the not too distant future. Some of us have been doing this for a long while!!Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-20923202342599017552016-11-20T18:39:41.684-08:002016-11-20T18:39:41.684-08:00It's heartbreaking to see such image on the st...It's heartbreaking to see such image on the stamp but thanks for sharing as issues like this definitely needs everyone's attention and action, even through small deeds to help ease the plight of the refugees.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742777265021634232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-21384445770657743692016-11-20T15:19:49.727-08:002016-11-20T15:19:49.727-08:00Fascinating and so true and sad stamp...

It seems such things don't change and that is disheartening. On the bright side of things - I'm glad to see we're going back to weekly Sepia prompts although I did enjoy the monthly prompts as well...just a little disappointed in the response to our posts? Seems folks got a little lazy there for a while.
