Her mouth drawn up like a tidy bag of tobacco…Brilliant! You draw your characters with such fresh style. I think these gals could've been living in my small hometown.

I love your writing, Lee. You paint such a vivid picture. I love how you draw a simple act of Mrs Leonard sitting down in the last picture. The olfcatory imagery is superb. I enjoyed this adventure with Glenna and look forward to the next one.

This story consist of what my Grandma would have called a "bunch of busybodies."

As for my fantasy character to have a beer with, "Yosemite Sam" (cartoon, but that's kind of a fantasy, right?)

They do bumble their way through things, but it's funny.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and thanks for including a link to the last installment. I missed it somehow. I really have to figure out how to sign in on the phone. That's how I read most of your posts, but I'm not signed in properly to like or comment. Today, I'm on my computer. In any case, keep it up. I've really been enjoying your stories. I like your answer to this month's question.

My phone always makes things more challenging, but they are handy little devils. Thanks for making the effort. I know how time-consuming that can be.

What a wonderful choice - to select your own characters. We all spend so much time with them, sometimes they seem more real than the living people around us.

You’re so right. These characters become a big part of us.

I'll have to take a look and see how I'd feel about questing with Pete and Weasel!

Hi,

I haven't read any books from your series, My Adventures with Pete and the Weasel, but I love how you build your characters. Now, I might take a lazy afternoon to read one of your books in this series.

All the best.

I love the escape these little stories have given me. It's fun to leave the real world behind for a while and be a kid again. Thanks for stopping in, Pat!

I really enjoyed this, even though I haven't read the earlier parts. Beautiful writing! Your descriptions of Mrs. Leonard were very memorable, and I loved how this is all keeping in how a kid would see it.

Your fantasy characters sound like fun ones to take adventures with!

Happy ISWG!
