Virtual Family Picnic (Contest)

Mamas Family Virtual Picnic (Contest)

EVERYONE IS INVITED!!!

We are planning a family picnic at the local park and ALL the family is invited. Anyone who wishes, may join us as well.  Now get busy in preparation!  Write a poem about the days events, something that happened on the way there, playing a game, cooking, eating, preparing potato salad... ANYTHING!  Just as long as it's related to a picnic. Maybe you were spying on newly married couple here and saw us kissing down by the duck pond.   Use you imagination and have fun!  Oh yeah!  Somebody needs to remember to grab Bosco, our family dog, and bring him along to join in the family affair as well.  For those who may wish to include names in your poem, we have included a list of Mama's Family for you.  Now go write and have fun!!

    What a lovely surprise! I didn't realize you two had done this, and I think it's a wonderful idea. Make sure everyone knows about this. I'll get TerrBear to twist arms so that everyone enters and gives you plenty to read. Great idea!! Hugs, Patricia

    First off, what were you doing up at 4:30 in the morning?

    Yes, I will twist arms, well, beat people down with a crutch if I need to. I'll even see if I can twist my own brain and come up with something.

    What an interesting idea for a contest, especially with picnic season approaching! This is a good subject for humor since so many things can go wrong at picnics! One question though, is it only open to the members of Mama's Family Group? I thought it was--until I saw the list of members. You might consider clarifying this a little bit as it seems confusing, at least to me. Good luck, I hope you get so many good entries that it is hard to judge!

    Somebody needs to remember to grab Bosco, our family dog, and bring him along to join in the family affair as well.

    Bosco came up missing. I hear the Smith familie's poodle was in heat. I hope he comes back.
