(and thanks for the creativity part.......I need an OUT!!) Chris - I think that's a beautiful idea. There's a local non-re blog that actually includes flickr pictures of miami without having to contact them. So it would be easy to supplement those days people don't send you stuff.

Instead of just flowers I think Summerlin Saturday and have people submit their favorite Summerlin pic. hoping that just by contacting those people it will start the ball rolling. If worse comes to worse I could always take an ad out in our hometown paper. Hoping that word of mouth will start it rolling and be enough to keep it going. What do you all think?

Jamie- that's an amazing idea - and if you can engage other "foster parents" to share their stories, imagine the power! Athol - HA HA!! you are right about the mouth full, connecticutitis is hilarious (sounds like a horrible infection), although I don't think you need any more theme days on your blog - every time I stop by I have fun and your sense of humor and personality shines through.

I've thought of "Connecticutisms", but it's a horrible mouthful, plus I don't think I can pull off your peppy sense of fun about it. Mine would be dark stuff like "Snow: We lived here our whole lives and we still can't drive in it" and pictures of crashed cars. Or "Construction on I-84... since 1982". Maybe Connecticutitis...

It could be as easy as Summerlin's Friday Flowers (it doesn't have to be on Fridays either - pick and day and stick to it) - ask readers to share their flower shots and maybe a story to go with them. You could even share one of the photos from your photo blog with your main blog once a week. Look what Athol does with the bad MLS pictures.....people from everywhere send him stuff.
