condition.  These stories will: inspire you, teach you a new skill, challenge your senses, provide a positive attitude on life, make you laugh, make you cry, and first and foremost provide a cultural link with all the peoples of the world creating a tapestry of love for all of

Pirates of the Cabinet

By Ken Swarner

So I am doing a few new summer time preparations this weekend...digging a moat around my house, chaining two Dobermans in front of the kitchen
pantry, and stockpiling food under my bed...all in anticipation of being eaten out of house and home…

Rodeoing With A Snapper Rear Engine Riding Mower
Richard Sims

Writers Feedback:

Loren,
I love your stories and I believe every word. 
Birds are very smart creatures and also lazy
opportunists.  (I love them dearly!)  Who did all
the work to feed it that day?  Ha!  Keep writing 

and entertaining all of us.  Thank you!

I have met some very nice people in the group, and when I rejoined this summer, I see Joe is still writing about joy,

Carol is now writing educational articles, she is a very talented poet, and is a very sweet lady, and Loren has passed on..

Carol published an article for me, ”PUMPKIN”, and since I had already left the group, she just could have left it as that.  However, she sent me a copy of the published article through my e-mail.  For some reason I could not delete her name nor removed the folder that I had all the things we did, but the story a bunch of us did, writing on paragraph a time, and this was really fun.  Maybe we could do that again

Since returning, I have re met Joe, and then Bill Walker, and Jan and Pam, Mrs. Dowd, and the list goes on.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY STORYTIME_TAPESTRY!!  

May all your troubles, be little ones, and your joy be exceedingly great, may all your stories entertain, instruct, encourage, give someone the true story. 

HAPPY WRITING....Let the words you speak paint a portrait, your words are the words of love, weaved into the tapestry .
