Oh yes - Marguerite Henry - I would add, King of the Wind, Misty of Chincoteague, Brighty of the Grand Canyon and Black Gold.
I bet you can get an omnibus of the Misty stories -- but they must have the Wesley Dennis illustrations.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Timelies all!
Went swimming today. I usually swim in the slow lane because, well, I don't swim fast enough for the other lanes and people have scolded me for being too slow. The problem with the slow lane is the people who aren't swimming. I'm almost used to the older man who does an odd walk/hop/frog kick thing back and forth. He's a regular. However, the couple today who were horsing around when they weren't standing in the middle of the lane ticked me off. I'm really tired of having to suddenly shift lanes or end up scraping against the ropes so i don't hit someone. Grr...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

joe, I totally meant to post about that when I heard it on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. So funny!
The actual treatment involved a thingie (made of the same material as self-dissolving sutures) that releases a steroid over the course of six weeks, then dissolves.
That sounds really cool, tommyrot. Aside from the whole NEEDLE IN YOUR EYE thing.
I just has some strawberry shortcake and it was awesome. Proper shortcake, dense and crumbly and only a hint sweet.
Yum. Although I also love strawberries and whipped cream on pound cake, even though it's not shortcake.

I'm with you on the horsing round. But in terms of the man doing the walk/hop/frog kick thingie - those are water aerobics. That is serious excercise. The pool in the gymn is for all types of excercise that require water - not just swimmers. Or was he aerobicizing the short way across? - cause that is an abuse of the lane.

Gar,
He goes back and forth the long way in the lanes. The only problem with this is that he's slower than I'm swimming, so I have to change lanes to get past him. Technically the lanes closest to the locker rooms are for non-swimmers(which is why I go one lane over), but I don't know why he doesn't use them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday.
"The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.
"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Huh. It would seem that they scheduled the construction going on on the other side of my wall to start every night at the stroke of 5:30, after "everyone" has gone home.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
sounds like a good reason not to stay at work after 5:30 to me.
