Hat’s off to hats. For Sepia Saturday I thought I’d see what hats I could find from different countries. I searched through Flickr Commons for these.

So WordPress is ending this fun, community-building, delightful challenge. They haven’t given a reason why, which is disappointing. I loved getting a new theme to inspire me and to get a chance to see how others had responded. I connected with other bloggers and I’ll sorely missed that.
It makes sense if an individual’s life changes and they must end a weekly challenge, but WordPress is a viable, successful company. If they want to hire me to handle this, I’m game. It wouldn’t be pricey.
Perhaps an individual with loads of followers will fill the gap, but it’s a commitment. I’ll follow if someone does.
I’ll be in shock for quite a while. What a shame WP. You didn’t have to go this route.
How sad.
I hope that this is like the “New Coke” fiasco and that they do resume this challenge. Again, I’d be happy to freelance as their new WPC Creator.

This weeks prompt shows happy people wading in the water. Now that we’re getting some warm weather in the Midwest, thinking about sunny days spent swimming seems reasonable.

These friends sure have great smiles and modest suits.

Even my friends and I could do that.

Playing board games has always been a favorite pastime of mine. I especially like backgammon, checkers, and Risk. My family often played Monopoly, but we never finished a game. Fun though they were, the games went on and on.
Here are some nostalgic photos of board games.

In Japan, the game go is very big. There are movies like March Comes in Like a Lion and television broadcasts of tournaments.
