MicroFiction Monday

Susan at Stony River Farm hosts Microfiction Monday. She posts a picture and you compose a story in 140 characters. You can click on the link under the title to get further instructions. To help you along she has posted a wonderful link that counts your characters for you! How great is that! You can get the counter at Design 215.
This meme is easy and it's fun! Thanks, Susan for hosting.
And here's the picture for the day!

This is your idea of the perfect honeymoon place? An ocean and an iron fence?
What's for food?
Food? I thought we were gonna live on love!

And from my wonderful friend in Mumbai!!

Between phone taps, and leaking embassy cables, for a minute I thought Julian was after pigeons. So glad we overflew Sweden. OK. Now Tell.

Hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas! I surely have! As some of  you know, my oldest daughter, Robyn, whom I hadn't seen in seven years, surprised me with a Christmas visit and I've had such an incredible holiday! She's here for another couple of days, so I may be slow to get to your blog, but I will!! Have a great week and a very Happy, Prosperous New Year!!!

    What a wonderful Christmas present for you, Sylvia! I'm sure it's been a great holiday for you.

    Your MM reminds me of that oldie, "All I Need is the Air that I Breathe and to Love You." Ha--Romanticists run into Reality after they are married!

    I have a feeling that there will be several "bird-dump" MMs this week, as exemplified by my husband's contribution!

    Good one, Sylvia. I've let Microfiction slide while I was away and sick. Now that I'm home and getting better, I'll have to try for next week.
