neighborhood in front of me. Even with all that beauty in front of me, I chose to look left past all the buildings and stores I had cruised past, all the way to the small porch I had stood in fantizing the ride i would take. The other children’s teasing words meant nothing to me now as I surveyed my great accomplishment. I learned more that day than just how to climb a tree.

of us go to bed, and just talk. My wife thinks it is the cutest, but I have some suspicions about this boy. That isn't the only love that is going on, the entire wagon train thinks that Mrs. Conrad’s son has a little crush on my daughter. He keeps teasing her, but kind of in a loving way, and he repeatedly asks to dance with her. Nevertheless, everyone thinks…

Opinions can change as quickly as a drop of a pin, it’s a very fragile view of how you see something. One experience can completely flip an opinion into something else.
