IN THE ATTIC

You're staying with your grandparents. One day you venture up to the attic. Among all the cobwebs, old clothes, and dusty boxes you find a big old trunk. Curious, you open the lid.....

What would you like to find in that trunk (besides money)? Would you want to find something of monetary value? Would you want to find the old journals of a distant relative?


I would like to find a family tree that dates as far as possible, linking me with some royalty.

What about you?

Day 2 - HOLIDAY CHEER

What is your favorite holiday? What is your least favorite holiday? Write about two memorable holiday experiences, one from your favorite holiday and one from your least favorite.

I really like Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, and Christmas.
FAVORITE: Last Halloween, my friends and I dressed up for the trick-or-treaters. I was a witch. My friend, Terri, had really decorated her back yard in the spooky spirit. I stood outside my friend's house inviting everyone to the "Halloween Garden."
LEAST: I would have to say one of my saddest holidays was the first Christmas after my Mother passed away. Christmas was always a BIG things as it was when everyone made it "back home" for the holiday. It wasn't the same without my Mom there.

I look forward to reading your comments....
