Joelle’s tales: First Thursday of the month #TMAT120 #writing #prompt for June
TELL ME A TALE IN 120 WORDS
I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU!
Welcome to June 1
Today’s prompt is: How you met your best friend
So that you don’t feel so alone in your embarrassment, here’s the story of how I met my best friend
My best friend is my blogging partner, Vickie. She helped me set up Two On A Rant and taught me how to blog.
A common experience binds us that no one can understand unless it happens to them. My 2nd husband died in 1983. Her husband of 35 years had recently passed away when we met.
We participate in “Friendship Therapy,” where we go to the local Golden Corral around 2:30pm and stay there until closing. We talk, laugh, tell stories, and fetch a bit of food in between.
A best friend is someone who will always live in your heart. If we don’t see each other again for a year, it will be as if no time had passed.
Here are the rules:
-
A prompt for #TMAT120 will be given the first Thursday of every month. The prompt challenge begins whenever it’s that day in your time zone. For example: 12:01am to 11:59pm Jun3 1st. It ends on the 2nd Thursday of the month.
-
I will publish each prompt with a link to each participants blog.
-
Limit your #TMAT120 post to 120 words and a link to the #TMAT site. People who participate in limited-word prompts aren’t expecting a 1,000 word explanation before it begins.
-
Use this picture above to show that you are participating in the #TMAT120. Please don’t alter (except for size).
-
Please don’t use hard-core curse words. Only lazy writers use variations of the F word for shock “value.”
-
Copy and paste the URL in the reply section below, or you can do a pingback if you have a WordPress blog.
-
Take time to read other people’s posts, after all it’s only 120 words. And you might make a new friend.

It was a good move answering that ad. I remember in the early days (before the slushy stuff hit) staying up into the early hours working out budgets and coming up with new ways of trying to make the money stretch. We were friends first as that was all we wanted or had to offer at the time. We joke that he didn’t marry me for my money and I didn’t marry him for his body! I’m so lucky to have him in my life.
