19- NEAT WORDS...And NAMES!

I DO remember being excited going to school at six and wanting to learn to read. Mrs. Vera Harouff had a huge alphabet printed above the blackboard. And she encouraged me, at six, to draw and color and cut straight lines with those fat scissors. This educator and sociologist hasn't stopped since, cutting straight lines with slim scissors, but I do enjoy, now, crossing those lines in life. I don't just cross the line, though, I erase it! When an art teacher in high school gave me that "f" on a drawing because a tree was colored purple, the next tree was painted paisley!

"Slychology" is an original squire word. Pissant IS in the dictionary. Towanda! comes from "Fried Green Tomatoes". Icy Bell Liptrap, I found in a phone book once, in the Valley, and did visit the neat octagenarian! Sacajawea WAS a Native American HEROINE! Bear Trap Farm is in the mts. of Augusta County, Va. and was built from scratch by two women with a vision--cabins and country meals. Nutmeg Quarter is an original term from the Town of BlueButtercups art creations. T. Boone Pickens?...he's real! "Srag" is the villian of the Town of BlueButtercups, with JelliButton as America's next national sweetheart. "Skelli" is there, too, and is "the world's oldest living unicorn!" and lives in a treehouse with a hottub on the 2nd floor. GAMBARU!--"Never give up...try again!" (Japanese). And Wile E. Coyote is my all-time hero-kinda-guy. Am absolutely so tired of that stupid, no-talking, scrawny, "BEEP-BEEP" bleeping desert bird picking on my pal Wile E. ALL of the time!!!
