Charlotte's Web
Just finished re-reading 'Charlotte's Web' by E.B. White for the umpteenth time, and for me it shows me many lessons that we all need to learn and remember. Actually, it is the story of the facts of life from birth to death to dealing with other societal issues like dealing with family relationships like Fern does when saving the 'runt' as well as just plain growing up issues, and learning how to accept what happens to all involved in living life and making various kinds of friendships and still learning that there is a higher power to live our lives.

Reading Tween novels
For some reason I am reading some tween novels that I gave for Christmas presents to a few grandnieces they left behind when they moved and grew up. When I read these few books there was one that was actually kind of a beginning diary from a series called 'The Dork Diaries'. The one that I read first was one where the reader could answer questions that pertained to them, but after reading the whole 'book' a lot of the questions I thought adults could answer too. My idea is to use these questions as prompts for short drabble essays.

Most discussed creators
What does it mean to me about being the 'most discussed creator'? I really wouldn't know for I do get a lot of likes for my work that I have posted through the years, and I do get comments on them also, but I really wouldn't say they are really discussed too much.

My Toys
Who remembers what toys they played with when they were a child? Well, I am a person that remembers most of the toys I had and played with as a child. My first toy that I really remember was a wooden dog that I pulled around by a string. What made me remember this one was because when you pulled it along the ears went back and forth. I saw this toy on eBay, and I bought it just for the good memories it brought me one day. The second toy well actually a collection of toys my mom and dad got me three Fisher-Price buildings (the house, the school, and the barn) to go along with a Ferris wheel building that a neighborhood man got me one summer. I would play with these for hours for I had the little people made of wood along with the furniture to put in the house, school furniture for the school that also had a chalkboard to actually write on, and fencing with horses, cows, sheep, and pigs to corral along with some troughs, so that the animals could drink.
