mississippi

so I started a story last week and asked Robert his opinion of having a main character named Mississippi. she's a grandmotherly type in a gruff crusty odd way. he did'nt think it would be a great idea. Note to self: Don't ask Robert. this story is screaming for an old odd lady named Mississippi who takes in an orphan boy. when I came up with her name, the story just seemed to flow form my fingertips. funny thing is, I have'nt quite found a name for the boy yet. in my mind and story he is just the orphan boy. wish me luck.

hey hey hey it's Robert!

just could'nt resist. Robert is so funny sometimes. he makes funny jokes all the time and somertinmes the kids don't get them. his ears are doing ok. he has'nt had the tubes come out yet however. he has been enjoying his wood lathe and the bird watching out the front window. he has also been doing wood carvings.
