IWSG - June 2025

 

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
The awesome co-hosts for the June 4 posting of the IWSG are

The optional question for June is:  What were some books that impacted you as a child or young adult?

 I was a voracious reader as a child (still am). But my options weren't always great since I was also a Navy brat and we moved every few years. When we lived in Sacramento, our house was on the other side of a creek across from a city park that had a branch library. Summers, I spent a lot of time there and fell in love with Charlotte's Web. My 4th grade teacher even wrote in a memory book that she would never forget how many times I read that book.

But my dad was stationed in the Philippines for a couple of years. That was when I discovered series called Judy Bolton mystery series by Margaret Sutton. I liked Nancy Drew too, but she never seemed to grow as a person. Judy did. They're historical fiction now. lol

What were your fave books when you were young?

Happy Memorial Day

It’s Memorial Day weekend here in the States.

While many people spend this time visiting cemeteries and remembering loved ones, I believe it’s  also important to pause and reflect on the true purpose of the holiday. Memorial Day was created as a time to honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we can gather freely with family, enjoy a long weekend, or just take a moment to breathe in peace. 

However you’re spending this weekend, I hope it includes a moment of quiet gratitude for the men and women who never came home.
