History for Little People and Their Parents - Roshus Rabbit Learns About Labor Day
"But what is Labor Day?" asked Roshus, as he helped his mother pack the picnic basket. "Well, Roshus, many years ago - way back when Great Grandpa Bunny was about your age - there were some people who worked very hard to help build our country. They liked what they did, but some people felt there should be a special way to thank them. Just as I thank you when you put your... (posted by Patricia 3 years 286 days ago.)

Happy Birthday, Little Sister. Rest in Peace.
In memory of my sister, Darlene Horton Williams. Aug. 14, 1946 - Dec. 3, 2007 She came into my life without warning. As was the way when I was six years old, I was sent to spend the night with my grandparents without being told my life would change, forever, while I slept. I left home as an only child. I returned as a big sister. I went from being the sole recipient of my parents' time, love and... (posted by Patricia 3 years 290 days ago.)

If For the Olympics, Why Not Forever?
As I watched the beauty and precision of the opening ceremony of the Olympics, I was filled with conflicting emotions.The sheer magnitude of the event, and the amount of planning that went into making it work like clockwork, was incredible. How many great minds must have worked together to plan and carry out such an undertaking? What if we put that kind of planning and organizational skill to work dealing with world...

But Why Did They Take My Fork? An Essay on Today's Economy
I understand that the economy is in a slump. I am reminded of that each time I put gas in my car. I try to be a good steward of our natural resources by planning my trips to shop, visit or be entertained so not a drop of gas is wasted by doubling back or veering off my carefully planned route. It doesn't do a lot for my need, at times, to be spontaneous, but I figure I can handle it for the good... (posted by Patricia 3 years 295 days ago.)

My mother was only fourteen years old when my father saw her walking down the street and fell in love with her with all of his being and until the end of time. Life had not been easy for my mom. Her mother died of TB at age twenty-eight, leaving my eleven year old mother to help her father run the farm and raise her five year old brother and one year old sister.

Little Bessie Bunny - Helping Pre-Schoolers Develop a Positive Self Image
This was written as part of a program I designed to help pre-schoolers develop a positive self image and a belief in their ability to achieve. The course was called Positive Vibes and was for children two to six years old. One of the main goals of the program was to help them change " I can't " to " I can." The children made stick puppets of Bessie and enjoyed making her dance.... (posted by Patricia 3 years 300 days ago.)
