look, a hippopotamus!

The title of this contest refers to the fact that I have just been roped into going to dinner with a bunch of people I don't know - and all because I am easily manipulated when I'm hungry. If you don't get the reference after that, then you should probably just ignore the title because it doesn't have much to do with the contest.

Anyway - the thought of it makes me think back to all those times ... what times - you ask ... well I'm not quite sure, but definitely the word sentimental comes to mind.

So there you go:

Sentimental

That is your prompt - and I will judge this when I get back from the restaurant (shouldn't be overly long - three to four hours I should hope)

Prizes will increase depending on entries.

Contest is Over

Contest was judged on January 10
Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 400, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 1 people
Final notes:
Sorry for the delay in judging, the dinner somehow morphed itself into a night out.

But, the entries that I received were a lovely way to wake up my tired brain this morning, and I encourage you to read the winners!

Thank you all for entering and I hope to see your talent in future contests.

A Sentimental Journey

Fond memories often comes to my mind
Of love shared during poverty stricken times
