A Robin's Story

I have just returned from the South. I am a little tired from flying so far, but I am so glad to be back again.

I have four kids - two girls and two boys. The girls' names are Sandi and Riley, and the boys' names are Fred and Jonah. I am Joe and my wife's name is Heather, and we live in Ohio.

The End

USA Poem

USA has churches,
churches that are good,
churches that are Christian, faithful, and dependent.

USA has plants,
lots of plants indeed,
and the one that we like best,
is beautiful to see.

USA has other things,
the things that I won't say.
USA is wonderful in many different


                                                         ways.

Book Review: Uncle Tom's Cabin

This is spicy llama 1# with a book review on UNCLE TOMS CABIN, by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Out of all the books I have read uncle toms cabin is ranked about 30th, and don't think that is bad because I have read a MILLION books.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was about a man - probably in his 40s - being sold to a nice family. The master of the nice family died. The man's wife, who was not as nice, sold all the slaves to different places. Uncle Tom was sold to a very evil man named Legree. Legree was very mean to Tom, but Tom had a few friends there. Even though his master was very mean, Tom kept his head high. Legree whipped and whipped Tom because he thought he helped two slaves run away (but Uncle Tom didn't). Legree kept trying to get it out of him, and eventually, he whipped Tom so much that Tom was near death. His words made Legree's negro overseers come to respect him, and they tried to help him, but he still died. There's a lot more to the story than this, so you should read it.

I thought that it was almost perfect. There was one thing wrong with it: it would go into these deep talks, and I had no idea what she (the author) was talking about. The talks would be short though. I enjoyed reading it.
