Hello. Sorry for missing last week. Clearly slipped my mind.

This week's quote is short, sweet and to the point.

"That's one of life's mysteries."

Do with it what you will.

Weekend Challenge -- Location, Location, Location I

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

Hello, everybody! Welcome to my first weekend challenge!

I am a bit of a fanatic about geography (among other things, which shall play into future challenges), and this weekend embraces it. I live in Ohio, and I have an alphabetical list of the 88 counties to play with this week.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to give me a number between 1 and 88 and I will give you the corresponding county AND a list of a few interesting locations therein. If you give me a tale of 200+ words or an image that plays with either the county name or a location within said county, I will write as many words in my WIPs as you do in the story or I will give you a drawing based on your artwork. I can't make icons or anything like that -- yet - but I can draw a little. (All I ask is your patience in return.)

You have till midnight Thursday in your time zone to play with this, so -- Ready? Steady?

GO!
