Jenny gave us a normal prompt today! Use
the ATM machine began dispensing twenties in a 100 hundred Saturday Centus. For complete rules and a link, visit her at:

Meanwhile you can read my Centus offering below.
Family Time
Camping would be family time he said.
Indeed, she did spend time with her diapered toddler and hyperactive preschooler after he left for the trout stream at dawn. She built a fire, cooked outside, walked the dog, tried to corral the kids away from the snakes and bees in the heat of the day.
In the evening after supper, she sponge-bathed the children, put dishes to soak in a plastic tub, and watched hubby, his casting arm exhausted, fall into his sleeping bag.
Monday morning, she smiled at the children as the ATM machine began dispensing twenties. Today was real family time—at the mall.
