Raven's Saturday Wordzzle # 57

Raven's Saturday Wordzzle is hosted by the wonderful Raven at Views from Raven's Nest .This is week 57 of the Saturday Wordzzle challenge. Anyone new to the process can refer back here to find out how it works.


Ten Word Challenge will be: apoplexy, doctor, hummingbird, shallow end of the pool, brigadier general, mustard, greed, parallelogram, slumber party, casual

Hummingbirds dived into the pool as the girls played games at Emily's slumber party. The party was casual and all of Emily's friends played so well together. In the shallow end of the pool, they floated on top of the water in shapes of a parallelograms. Intelligent girls did not play normal games. After swimming Emily put on her mustard colored shirt and headed inside to talk with her mother.

Her father had been considered for promotion to brigadier general, but the greed of his commander had created dissension among his peers. The shock on not being promoted caused Emily's father to go into apoplexy. The doctor said it would take time, but he would recover from his stroke.


Mini Challenge: Mount Olympus, arsonist, portraits, birch trees, "that car needs a new muffler"


While driving into the mountains, Emily said "that car needs a new muffler."Portraits of famous mountaineers lined the halls of the Mount Olympus visitors center, while mug shots of arsonist lined the walls to the entry to the Birch Tree Jail.

I love the "mugshots of arsonists" line. These are great! I hope the General recovers.

Thank you Raven. I will have to read everyone tomorrow night as my sister and I are going to her grandson's birthday party tomorrow out of state.

I think the general will recover.

Nice use of the words. Hope the General returns to good health. Life is unfair at times.

Very nice! Short and concise! I'm sure being passed over was a real jolt to the general's ego!

We dragons never visit jails. They might not let us out. Now we know they have portraits of arsonists on the wall. Learning all the time we are.
Feel sorry for the old general. Strokes are bad things.
Good writing on your part.
