Take a Word Challenge - MOON

Apologies to all my friends at Take a Word over the past weeks.  I have been missing in action a lot and I haven't been able to keep up with commenting.  My husband had a massive stroke three months ago and finally passed away this month.  I am looking forward to new beginnings at the challenges and getting back to "normal".

This week our theme word is MOON.  My imagination took me to this rather strange place! Click HERE for credits.
