Here's my quiz question...

Name the author who briefly fought in the Confederate Army, but who later became friends with Ulysses S. Grant and rescued Grant's widow from poverty after Grant's death.

OH! Yeah, I have. 🤣 Especially when I'm talking to some very dear friends of mine...🙄🤣🤣

Who might have fought for the Confederacy (besides myself😉)??? Think about it.🤔

[Joanna]

Pamela wrote: "Who might have fought for the Confederacy (besides myself😉)??? Think about it.🤔"

😂 The first person who pops into my mind is Mark Twain, but that's probably not right.

[Ruth]

I agree, it has to be Mark Twain.
Being friends, Grant had asked
Twain to write his memoirs.

[Pamela]

Meg answered correctly first! It is Mark Twain! Twain helped Grant write his memoirs because Grant was dying when he wrote them. Twain made a deal with the publisher, refusing to receive royalties from the publication of the volumes, even though he was entitled to the money. Instead, Twain wanted all of the money to go to Grant's wife, Julia. It did. Julia earned over $450,000 for the sale of the books. Grant made many bad financial investments in his last years. Had Twain accepted the money for the memoirs instead of giving it to Julia, Julia would have lived the rest of her life in poverty. Thanks to Twain, Julia Grant became one of the wealthiest women in the United States. Meanwhile, Twain struggled financially for the rest of his life. In the 19th Century, $450,000 was the equivalent of millions of dollars today!

CONGRATULATIONS MEG!!!👍👏🤝🎊🎈🥇🎈🎉🎈🏅🎈🏆🎈🤸‍♀️🎈🤹‍♀️🎈😁

Sugar, Cookie, and Cream??? Shouldn't there be at least one bear named Honey??? 😉😆😅😄😃🤣😂😀🐻🍯🐝

[Pamela]

Well, I think my brain is finally cooked. I fell asleep on the sofa over at my mom's house last night. She woke me up and said that I was singing Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were" in my sleep, apparently in it's entirety. My mom said I was drowning out the TV, which apparently annoyed her, thus she woke me. The oddest thing is that I have never liked Streisand or that song!

That is odd. 😶 We're you dreaming of a recital?
I usually laugh in my sleep, I never know why.

If the rest of you bears will accept me into your "den," may I be the bear named Honey??? I would rather enjoy that! I like honey very much! Honey dipped chicken is one of my favorites! 🍯🍗LOL!!!

It is odd. I don't remember any dreams. Perhaps my subconscious was wishing for the days before Frick and Frack, thus..."The Way We Were" must have seemed appropriate in my mind! It was quite strange!

You are very welcome, Honey! We love bears that sing in their sleep 🤣

Pammy: I know... it just struck me funny 🤣

[Pamela]

Dorothy wrote: "Pammy: I know... it just struck me funny 🤣"

I know. I was just teasing. Actually, my favorite thing to put on a peanut butter sandwich is apple butter. I love it and apple butter has lots less sugar than jelly, so I am allowed to eat it! Yum! 🥜🍎😊

Meg thinks probably about a foot. I'm definitely a fair weather fan, too!

Well, here is the best I've got at the moment! 😂 Who said this?

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."

I am not sure who said it, but I strongly disagree! If we had no winter, we would not be stiff and achy from shoveling. Of course, when spring and summer arrive, there is all that mowing...in the fall there is all that raking...see, I told you I do not like any of the seasons! LOL!!!😁😂🤣😃
The moon really is the best place for me!👩‍🚀🚀🌛🤢 Except for the "no oxygen" thing once again! 😋
