| I always enjoy it when I se you have written us another adventure of your childhood . I think it is wonderful to read and see pictures in my mind of your stories. Little girl in overalls and pigtails reading her book under the apple tree. thank you again for takin us on one of your trips to your pass. You are a wonderful storyteller... hugs and nuzzles |

| Thanks, Charleen. I'm glad you enjoy the stories. I always enjoy hearing from you. |
|
|||
| Poor Ghostboy, I really did enjoy it. You are most welcome... |
|

| This was certainly another entertaining, and informative, story. I can just imagine you sitting under the apple tree, your mind already wondering about mysteries around you as you read Nancy Drew, and then a ghost voice speaks up from out of nowhere. I think you have mentioned before about your aim, and it seems you could even aim for sounds without seeing your target. Too bad the neighbor had to find out the hard way, though. Maybe this helped to convince your relatives you needed a vocation to keep you occupied, and so off you went with Aunt Bett later on. I do hope to read more of these stories.

| Wonderful Sharon! It was soooo nice to see your story, including Aunt Bett! and such a fantastic story LOL! I really enjoyed everything about it ~ and you have such a way of transporting your reader back in time to those adventurous childhood days! thanks so much. ps - I have also taken notes on your footnotes  |

| Christine!!! Thank you. I did have a lot of 'adventures', and thankfully it's the isolated incidents that I remember. Somebody asked me if I ever stopped long enough to sleep. Truth is, sometimes I fell asleep in that clover patch. It's just fun to take you along with me. Good memories help us get through tough times, don't you think? Good about the footnotes! Hope you are having a warm sunshiny day over there. |

| Wonderful story, Sharon! You know how I feel about Nancy Drew! I must say, see her image with the magnifying glass bought back multitude senses...including smell. (the Clearasil on my face !!)  I can't pass a good clover patch without sitting in the middle and knotting a long, long clover chain! Thanks! "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

| Ha about the Clearasil. Seems I remember Noxema. And I taught my grandson to make clover chains just last summer. Thanks Susie! |
|

| Another fun story, thanks, Sharon. That's funny that the boy was talking to the dog...poor kid, lol. I didn't know clover was related to peas! I always learn something good from you! |
|

| Thanks, KY. I'm just full of totally useless information. And I love to pass it around... |
|

| Not useless information at all. It is very good to know which plants are legumes and can enhance the nitrogen in the soil. I would consider many other types of trivia to be more useless, such as most of Jeopardy. It can be fun, but it does not always help with anything.

| Thanks, Lance. Maybe the teacher in me still likes to teach things but only in an unteacherly way. (And sometimes I make up new words, too.) |
|
|||
| I know about Red Clover tea, because I drink it often! I wish I'd had someone like Aunt Bett to follow around when I was a child. If I had known then what I know now, you know? Enjoyed the story! |
|
|||
| Even so, I realize now I didn't learn nearly as much as I should have. Hindsight, I think. Thanks Linda! |

| Poor Tommy! I can just imagine that rain of apples flying out of your hands! Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys were fascinating books for children. They really pulled you into the story and made you feel like you were helping to solve the mystery. I still love Nancy Drew, only I play the PC mystery games and have all but the latest (26th) game.

| I don't know how I missed seeing this, Vickie, but thanks so much for reading this article. Fun times! |

| Yes these wonderful stories do bring back a lot of memories. I never get tired of your Aunt Bett stories. I am always looking for another one. Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Perry Mason...I was rarely without one of them. Tony Hillerman was another good series later on. Now it is Ann Rule and J.A. Jance. It is never too late to be What you might have been. ~George Eliot |

| Love all of those, Trisha. They live on my bookshelves. |
