If I had known the sun was coming out I would have hung to towels on the clothes line.

Hey Truman, I love the book you gave me. Thank you so much.  It was very thoughtful of you.  I just havent read much of it.  I have really good intentions though, really good.  Im not much of a reader.  Have to have a dictionary right by me.  Its probably from lack of reading books.  Well I read maybe one or two a year. I know its terrible.  My mom read a book every couple days, so does my brother.  Ashley loves to read too.  I dont know what my problem is.  Ill try to finish reading To Kill a MockingBird.  ;)

You can just watch the movie.  :D

Just kidding---the book goes into great detail that you don't get in the movie. Read, then watch!  ;)

"Forever and a day, and the blood of man stained the red dirt of the Mississippi land, and this journey we go but this place we'll stay, if only in the heart where memory of love eternally remains"

--Attributed to Eudora Welty

Ok so, why are red headed people called "carrot top" when the tops of carrots are green?

Another idea is to listen to an unabridged audio version of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. It is nice to be read to.

Tru - I really like Eudora Welty.

I am going to try and read a short story per day of Eudora's. Yesterday I read "Why I live at the P.O."

Good Idea Lynne.  I'll check it out at the library.  Im sure they have it.  IF not there's always Barnes and Nobles
