The Histories

Are there any other weird people out there who have read or are in the process of reading The Histories of Herodotus? I didn't think so.
Well, here is my review: If you want to read something that tells a lot about different cultures thousands of years ago, things that may or may not be true, this would be the book. This I can tell you- this book is way better than the Odyssey by Homer ( which I don't suggest, unless you are very, very board and have already watched two hours of the antique show on PBS ).

Have you noticed, I have finally figured out how to mark the differences in paragraphs in my blog. Me and my technological immature mind. All I had to do was go to my settings and click, this yes and no button, for some sort of indentation. As you can tell computers are really not my thing.

Thanks Giving is right around the corner. To many Thanks Giving, is all about the food and the football game, but I don't think that was what William Bradford meant it to be, when the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanks Giving. ( It was William Bradford, right?) Thanks Giving is a time in which we should thank God for the blessings He has endowed us with, through the past year, a time in which we can spend time with family and praised God for all of our blessings. I have to write a poem on the first Thanks Giving for Creative writing class, so if it is good enough our post it. Until then, God Bless.

Hmm...haven't read The Histories yet. I'm not sure if I should...?
Check your email--I sent you an e-card. I laughed my head off when I saw it. But make sure you click on all of the acorns.
Happy Thanksgiving! I love holidays!
