For want of a nail the shoe was lost.For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Dorris could probably write it all out but I don't know if I can! 🤣
Hey Emma, you'll never guess what just happened! 🤣 My mom just told me that one of the Amish called and asked if they could come out and I could play my accordion for them!

Haha, thanks! They really seem to like the accordion. I've played it for this family a couple of times before, when they happened to be here and dropped a not-so-subtle hint. 😂 It just really surprised me that they actually called and asked to come out just for that!

I love it surprises happen like that.

How is Allyson?
There is another void without her and Hannah.
I take it she is enjoying her literary creativity?
Do you have the same writing aspirations?
I saw your business Face Book page,
I could just reach in and scoop up a couple of
the pups, they are so adorable.🤗🐶💕🐶💕

Allyson is doing well, yes, loving her writing! 😄
I don't do as much writing as her, but I do some and have been writing a short story.
Aww thank you! Yes, they are so much fun and we love to cuddle them!! 🤗❤️🐕🐾

I've never seen anyone who reminded me of Longfellow, or Hawthorne, or any of my other favorite authors...nor did I ever see anyone else who reminded me of Thoreau!

You had that one puppy that reminded you of your friend. 🙄🤣

It really does! Sometimes it seems like certain people are made in the same mold, or something. He has the same expression as we see in pictures of Thoreau, and he is a nature-lover who has an uncanny way of seeing things that nobody else gets to see. He can tell direction when the sun is directly overhead just by the shadows of trees (my dad said that if it wasn't for his red hair he would suspect he was part Indian! 😄). And he has the sense of humor I imagine Thoreau having...

🤦🏻♀️ Well he looks even more like Thoreau than the puppy looked like Steve. 🤣
