Sorry, guys. Something came up so I gotta stop now. I did get a good amount of work done on my poem though. 🙂

@abigail-blomberg Greetings! So glad to have you here. And, since I got on here before all important questions have already been asked you, prepare for an initiation interrogation. *clears throat*

Do you like fantasy?
Do you like Lord of the Rings?
Do you like Ted Cruz?
Do you like Captain America?
Do you like chocolate?

Because if the…[Read more]

Well let’s just make this a party! I’m in til 3:30 too! @kate-flournoy @Adry_Grace @Daeus

Hey Abigail!
I draw and ride horses as well (and write of course 😉 ). What do you like to draw? I like drawing animals. I love Janette Oak! Which one of her books do you like best?

Great to have you here!

Ooh…this is hard…
I vote:
1. Chasing Vermeer (Yes, I’m choosing my own suggestion 😛 )
2. The Witch of Blackbird Pond
3. Ben Hur

@Daeus It’s about time he said something. 😉 The son of our pastor is a state representative and he was able to meet and introduce Ted Cruz at a rally yesterday.

To Kill a Mockingbird would be good…I want to read it, but I haven’t yet. 😉 I’d suggest Lord of the Rings, but it’s not exactly short. 😉

Okay, so between the books I talked about, Chasing Vermeer would probably be the one you would really learn from. 😛 It’s more the type of book that makes you think. It talks a lot about coincidences and how things are connected…a good ‘thought-book’.
I just wanted to mention that 😛 …Anywayyyyy… carry on with the suggestions folks. 🙂

Okay, so a couple books I’ll suggest:

The Wanderer by Sharon Creech. It’s about a girl, Sophie, who sails across the Atlantic, to England to visit her grandfather, with her three uncles and two cousins. Through the trip, she uncovers bits of her past. The story and their experiences are told through her and her cousin Cody’s travel logs.…[Read more]

@Daeus, this sounds awesome!! 😀 I am definitely in!

I’m afraid that’s too far, even though we do live in Indiana. 🙁 I am hoping to go to the Fort Wayne Homeschool Conference which is the second weekend of May. Is anyone going to be there?

That sounds like a lot of fun. I’m in. I should have time, though no promises… 😉

@Daeus Don’t I know it. 😉 Most elections, the ‘fate of the nation’ has been decided before it gets to us. We normally don’t matter. I just hope Cruz wins.

@Daeus Don’t I know it. 😉 Most elections, the ‘fate of the nation’ has been decided once it gets to us. We normally don’t matter. I just hope Cruz wins.

My whole family is going to see Ted Cruz this coming Monday! And our primaries are on Tuesday! I’m excited about both those events. This election has been insane. It’s like a rollercoster of hopefulness…I think Cruz can win…no, he’s not doing well…yes, he’s doing well…no, Trump is doing better…it will probably go to convention…no,…[Read more]

Thanks, @Kate-flournoy and @Daeus. I’ll take care of those things.

@adry_grace I agree with @Daeus. There would have to be something important beyond the art for one to risk there life. As much as I love my nation, I’m not going to risk almost certain death simply to save a historical document like the Declaration of Independence or raise a fallen flag. Now, if it served a greater purpose, like rallying the…[Read more]

Welcome @hannah-olsen! I just saw this post…I’m not on here quite as much as I should be. Trying to get writing done and things like that. Once one gets on this forum, they can keep going for quite a while and forget the time. 😉

Anyway, I love writing fantasy, mainly. And I’m not sure what there is to say that no one else has said. But a late…[Read more]

And now for the weighter topics.

I agree with you, @Daeus, about never being sure what will happen. I read a book where a man was going to be starved to death. His wife had the plague, or something like that, so she came to see him, knowing she was contagious and figuring he’d die quickly that way. He did die a day or two later, but around the…[Read more]
