By Dora Ficher, on May 17th, 2012  "Q" is for Queen ~ Ink Drawing – © 2012 Dora Ficher
Queen is a good word for “Q“:
“All I Ask Is That You Treat Me No Differently Than You Would The Queen” ~Anonymous
“There is no use trying, said Alice; one can’t believe impossible things. I dare say you haven’t had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ~Lewis Carroll
I also like a Band called Queen. They sing some of my favorite songs!

By Dora Ficher, on May 9th, 2012  "O" is for Original ~ Ink Drawing – © 2012 Dora Ficher
“O” was not a very easy letter to find words to.
I like the word “Original”
Something is original if it has never been done before. An idea is original if it has never been thought of before, and a painting is original if it is the first time that picture has been painted. If something has been made as a copy or modified from something else, the thing it has been copied from is the original.
What are your favorite “O” words?
By Dora Ficher, on May 7th, 2012  "N" for Neighborhood ~ Ink Drawing – © 2012 Dora Ficher
I had to think long and hard to find my favorite “N” word. It didn’t just come to me like with other letters.
I was happy to come up with the word “Neighborhood” :
- an area within a city or town that has some distinctive features (especially one forming a community); “an ethnic neighborhood”
- A neighborhood or neighbourhood (see spelling differences) is a geographically localized community within a larger city, town or suburb. Neighborhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members.
And thinking about the word neighborhood I got these long ago memories of Mr. Rogers and his song: “Won’t you be my neighbor?”.
Do you have favorite “N” words?

My favorite “I” word is Imagination and Imagination is actually one of my favorite words in the dictionary.
I was a teacher for many, many years and the kids knew that when I pointed to my head I meant: “Use your Imagination“.
Imagination:
- The faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses: ”a vivid imagination”.
- The ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful.
Would love some more “I” words!
