Introduction

 Hi! I am the Weaver of Tales. My life has been filled with Hubby, friends and school. I have never been an idle person even while watching TV.  When you retire you down size, too busy to have any more work then necessary. Now I am following my own advice completing some of my many projects and books. Every time I finish one it gives me a warm fuzzy. I always enjoy a wonderful smile and I believe laughter keeps me young at heart. Check out my published books “The Bluegrass Dream” (Kentucky Frontier) and “Natchez Above the River” (Civil War) by Ruth Thompson on Amazon

CHRISTMAS

Little Snow Flake from the sky,

Falling gently on his side.

Painting our land with white snow,

How you shine with lights that glow.

Christmas trees with your soft cover,

Bringing joy to one another.

Homes look cheerful for this day,

Kids excited with snow play.

Papa shovels the walk clean,

Adding to the winter scene.

Children stocking’s have been hung,

Glories to Christ have been sung.

The smell of ham fills the rooms,                         

Christmas dinner will be soon.      

                           

Colorful packages are wrapped.

Grandpa is taking his late nap.

What a lovely joyous day,

Christ, the gift is on the hay.

Gifts of love and peace are here,

Christ, beloved son, is near.

Merry Christmas to one and all

THE RIGHT TO LIVE

My parents taught me to respect our constitution. We abide by our country’s laws and respect our neighbors. This was the secret formula to get along in this world. We were given the first ten amendments to the constitution soon after it was written. I want to share my feelings about our right to bear firearms. There were no assault weapons and clips when this amendment was added. They had muskets and traps to use in their hunting and for protection. Today there are all kinds of hunting rifles. HUNTERS don’t use AK47’s for hunting. Hunting is a sport and there is nothing sporty about AK47’s. It behooves me why the NRA is trying to preserve the right to own and use these assault weapons and clips. Another twenty young children have been laid to rest. Their right to be safe in school was taken away. Their right to be in a school play was taken away. Their right to go to their first school sporting game was taken away. Their right to graduate from school and college was taken away. Their right to have their first job was taken away. Their right to marry and have a family was taken away. How many more are going to loose their rights to live. I do not want to do away with our right to bear arms. I want us to be responsible. I am sure our shotgun would stop an intruder to our home. We do not need assault weapons and clips. We need to keep our children and our public safe from harm.
