I've seen the movie of "The Witches" and read the book. The ending differs, but I liked them both.

Roald Dahl had a habit of picking out children who needed someone on their side, and then arranging it. Too bad we don't have a word for someone like that in our language.

I think that is a bunch of why I like those books.

I was one of those kids, and now I do that advocacy work from time to time.

Bless your heart! I knew there was a reason I loved you!

Sorry I couldn't be there for you -- "It's a big Galaxy, Mr. Spock!" -- but I'm glad you're there for them!

It is a difficult thing to create a fictional adventure where someone innocent is in peril, without detailing the normally tragic results. This I know. -- (Roald Dahl rocks!)

S'okay.

You couldn't be there, but Someone Else eventually was.

And yeah. It's a bunch of why I have Harpy infestations and take in stray kids from time to time.

Okay. This is some of the best I got...(I hope)

My Frequent Prayer
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

My eyes are stained glass windows,
God’s light shines to my soul.
With every breath I take,
I thank God for my role.

I have a part to play, you see.
With loneliness around.
For every only child I know,
A brother he has found.

There’s music in the world, I hear,
A drumbeat booms within my chest.
I’m mindful that God wrote the score,
With every drummer’s rest.

And flutes there are, and fifes so sweet,
That glide across the day.
The feathered players know the tunes,
And never ask for pay.

My friends go by, they’re off to church,
And pray that I will follow.
But water becomes wine to me,
A sacrament to swallow,

And every crust of bread, to me,
Is sacred to behold,
And every coin that comes to me,
I feel is made of gold.

I’m thankful for each breath I take,
With every word I say,
I just wish folks could understand,
That this is how I pray.

LOL!

Is that the lovely Ana???

I really needed a laugh just now! Thanks! ;o]

Nope. Same kid as on the "Incoming" pic though. Ana is a lot bigger, and a lot cuter.

Boy, am I intimidated!

If I were a piece of chocolate, I would be afraid, very afraid!

I'm still trying to think up a good caption for the Dog Toss one...

Ana is a doll...
I asked because this Soul Devourer is dressed in pink.

But then, I haven't been well, lately...;o]

Nothing beats the "Bat-Dog!" quote from "The Incredible Journey" recent remake, with Michael J. Fox doing the voice-over.

These are the latest of Ana.

Zon is still learning about cutting hair. She's doing it as a barber would never survive and my idea of just mohawking her was not well received.

I saved all those piccies of Ana...they are so sweet!

I don't understand why Zon didn't want a mohawk...*snort*
