Fewer folk went back in time with this month's Blog of the Month than the last two themes. We had still had a total of 15 entries, three of which didn't qualify and from the team which, of course, is not eligible for a prize. If you need reminding of the theme and the rules, check out the announcement post.
But first
The usual bit of housekeeping: the number of Silver Bloggers is still slowly creeping up but remains short of the magic 1,500 subscribers. Activity is hard to judge as Hive - and crypto generally - rises and dips and as life happens for our Silver Bloggers.
As always - a thank you
To everybody who contributes to making this a fun community and especially to our delegators. Suddenly the value of delegations to the community account has shot up and is over 9K which means that the value of our votes on members' blogs has some real value.
In August, we put our money where our mouths are, and in this post reminded you how we use your delegations and how we say thank you to our delegators. In more than just gifs!!
The team's contribution
This month, there was only one team contribution from Silver-Blond Lizzie whose heart-wrenching story echoes the theme of many of the contributions.
The business end
The quality of contributions this month was such that we had no outright winner after the team had voted. With help from @lizelle's hubby who developed a weighting system for the votes at first, second and third place, as well as special mentions, we have a more objective system for picking prize winners.
Special mention
We were all especially touched by @carolinacordoza's looking back which looks forward to her wedding anniversary this later year. Please accept her invitation and share in her enjoyment of her recreated and pre-wedding festivities. So touched was our Founder, that she will be awarding a special prize of 5 Hive for this contribution.
Runners up
There is a poignancy to both of these contributions.
@ifarmgirl's Never Again.. is a tale of dashed dreams and loss of self, hopefully regained. Then they're @eylz619's lament pondering how different she might have been had she not chosen to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime.
Stand out entry
Like last month "Winning" and a story of profound loss and grief don't work well together.
@kaazooms recollections of that dreadful day, is this month's stand out contribution.
The prizes
This week's prize pot is a 40 Hive, and more:
To the winner
- 10 Hive sponsored by @lizelle that she will send directly to the winner's wallet
and - 10 Hive sponsored by the Silver Bloggers Community and which will also be sent to the winner's wallet
PLUS - 50% of the liquid rewards from this post, so @kaazoom's account has been set as a 50% beneficiary
The runners-up win this time, too
The Runners Up each get -
- 5 Hive each sponsored by @lizelle that she will send directly to their wallets
and - 5 Hive each sponsored by the Silver Bloggers Community and which will also be sent to their wallets
All prizes will be sent directly to the winners' wallets in the next day or so.
If you would like to sponsor a prize...the pot is getting low...

Many thanks to everyone, especially to our founder, many congratulations to @kaazoom @ifarmgirl and @eylz619. Excellent entries.
December is coming and for sure we will tell good stories too.
Thank you
Thanks @carolinacardoza <3
We loved your entry @carolinacardoza, you can always plan a special anniversary by renewing your vows 💕
😘
Omg I just lost a month! 👀
That's too much moving and not enough sitting right there.
Happy I came to check in and found this before two more weeks disappeared 🤔
Saving to savour ...
RL gets in the way not so, not enough hours in the day! You can still write about any of our #bom & #silverprompts topics if you ever have writer's block 😉
I always will. The prompts around here are my all time faves.
These and the feathered friends one @wrestlingdesires does
They just seem to bring something out of me personally that I really appreciate
I got sidetracked by "Perfect" and HPUD but am wrapping Perfect up this week a ND maybe next week and can then relax and be more active and creative again 👍
Also have a Weds Walk that's been put aside for two weeks in my drafts folder as didn't want to bother TatoodJay too much over the last bit... to follow today
Or next week!
Yep. Not enough hours in the day at all!! 😅
I'll be getting a new edition of Let Our Picture Tell Your Story up soon :) ... Thanks so much for the kind words, and patience 🙌

No pressure from me. I'm the low pressure friend and totally get it!
