Weight, eye kneed to catch up! With my soar knee, it is hard for me to climb. Can you slough down? Hay, look at that see shale. Eye wonder how it got on this heel. Do you think the water came this far up once upon a time?

The English language is one of the most difficult to learn; many meanings for the same words, many spellings with the same sounds, same sounds with different spellings.

How many ways can you spell . . .

I
Shell
Way
Pen
Hill
Fold
Been
Dye
Wait
Lye
Sea
Sew
Site
Flower
Hear
Neigh
Nose
Buy?

Can you think of other same sound, different spelling words?

Jip

Jip was my first pet. She was a German Shepperd, but was real small. Someone said Jip was a German border patrol dog. I didn't matter; I loved her and she was mine. We would roam the farm together and she kept a watchful eye on everything I did.

I would lay in the grass and watch the clouds float by while rubbing Jip's silky coat. If we had to go to the fields, Jip would jump in the back of the pickup for a quick ride. She would lay under the truck until time to head home and would jump right up in the back for the trip to the house.

Jip slept under my window at night and I always felt safe. She was my best friend and a constant companion.

Tell me about your pet. I would love to hear from you. Thanks for visiting.

Public Library

The library as we know it today is called a "lending library." The library "lends" you a book to read and you return when your loan time is up. Libraries offer a great variety of books and you do not have to purchase them. Some of the books are fun, some are educational, some are instructional, and some are books of facts. Libraries keep old copies of newspapers for researching events.

The library is a great source of a variety of books without having to pay large sums of money. If you are interested in a book, a good practice is to go to the library, check out the book, and read it. If you find you would like to keep the book, you can then go to a bookstore and buy it. Not many people can afford to maintain a large library for their personal use.

With the development, ease of use, and convenience of the Internet, many people have abandoned the use of the library. The library is a magical place of discovery.
