She did what?

I’ve been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the kids this week. I remember going to the theater to see the original movie with Gene Wilder. I was 10 yrs old. I have loved the story ever since, but hadn’t read the whole book (not that it’s very long) until this week. We actually [...]
The House of the Mouse

I’m so glad [...]
Coming Attractions!
Momma Bug is so right! I have no idea how to accomplish a good bloggity break. So, apparently, a break of less than a week is all that is called for every few weeks. I’ve been blogging in my head on a daily basis. I figured I better put some of it in print before [...]
The Betrayal Book Review
This Post is written By: Hank/ Calico Zak A few days ago I finished reading this book about John Calvin by Douglas Bond. This book is probably one of his best, and resembles The Guns of the Lion and Hostage Lands. The main character, Jean-Louis Moulin, is a tanner’s son who grows up in the same [...]
