Aww, thanks Ruth. I'll probably have some ice cream after supper.

Poor Pamela. It appears everyone prefers to keep you in the dark.🙄 I will enlighten you... The other day I think it was Ruth asked that exact question so we all already know the answer!😂😂 Sorry! Would you like another try?

She is a beautiful dog.
My other favor..."

Thank you! Yes, those are some of my favorites! She just looks so happy!

6 or 7 😀

[Allyson]

Who wants to bet we'll fill twenty pages by the time Meg gets back??😂😂

[Allyson]

I'm guessing seven!!

[Ruth]

Of course we do.
A quiz still requires an answer. 😋

That question must have been asked before I joined the group. I'm off to a fantastic start, am I not? As for being kept in the dark, I am used to being kept "like a mushroom"...the rest of that quote is best left unsaid!!!! ; 0

You are doing just fine, Pamela
it was a good question.
How did you learn about Twain's
neighbor?
I didn't know about it until last month.
It would have been an interesting
community to live in.
I imagine if one crossed Twain, one
could end up in scathing or sarcastic
article.😄

I've always been a Mark Twain fan and learned a lot about him over the years. As soon as I learned to read well as a child, I read as many of Twain's books as I could get my hands on! I am interested in the Civil War, too, and I remember reading that Harriet Beecher Stowe was Twain's neighbor. My mom was wonderful about buying books for me, even as a pre-schooler...I credit her with my love of reading, along with so many other things.

[Hannah]

I'm going to be taking a free online class about Mark Twain tomorrow!! Pamela, perhaps you would be interested in it too! It's by Hillsdale College. You can take it whenever you want - it's un - accredited, so the classes aren't hard at all. I took a Jane Austen: Northanger Abbey course a couple years ago, and I learned SO MUCH!

Ooh! Hannah, sorry I know you didn't say that to me, but do you think you can post the link on?

[Hannah]

Oh of course, it would be my pleasure - give me a few seconds!

My mother loved Mark Twain adventures:
Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, she often mentioned
them to us. When I read it, I understood her love
of the Childhood adventures. She also encouraged
us to read, buying books for us to read together
or retreat into our respective corners.
Sweet memories. I have the same sentiments
about my dear mother.
I have yet to read Harriet Beecher Stowe,
I would like to read it this year, perhaps a
group read would be nice.

And if you get like an 80% or higher on the quizzes (which really aren't hard at all) they send you a certificate of completion.

No problem!! Hope you find one to enjoy too!

[Hannah]

After the Mark Twain class, I may do the one on the Federalist Papers and then later maybe the one on Children's Lit.

I'm interested (don't let Meg see this!! 😂) in the Jane Austen course.

[Hannah]

I thought you said you could never get into Austen!! Hahaha!

Hannah wrote: "I thought you said you could never get into Austen!! Hahaha!"

I thought you said you couldn't easily finish them?

Hannah, very possible I said that about Jane Austen.😂 I don't remember saying that on here but that's the way I feel about her work.

Perhaps one day your grandchildren
will read them to you.

[Hannah]

Oh my goodness, what am I going to do with you two!?

[Hannah]

Have you tried watching the movies first? That was what helped me understand what was going on and enjoy them more.

[Ruth]

Hannah wrote: "Oh my goodness, what am I going to do with you two!?"

Put them in the corner to finish the book.

[Hannah]

Ruth wrote: "Hannah wrote: "Oh my goodness, what am I going to do with you two!?"

Put them in the corner to finish the book."

For sure! Before I smack them upside the head with "The Complete Works of Jane Austen".
