You would think with all this talk talk talking that I do each day on Book Basset I would be quite the conversationalist when face to face with humans. Hmm…..NOPE! Last night reconfirmed what I already knew about myself. The baby basset’s school was putting on a BBQ fundraiser and I was tasked with kitchen duty. All I had to do was bring the food from the back to the front. This of course means I was exposed to actual people..face to face. The HORROR! No clowns though, so that’s cool. Normally I can slip in and out unnoticed in these situations, but a motorcycle club had moved in next door to the kid’s school, and they were there to meet everyone and show that they were going to be great neighbors as well. This of course means they were going to talk to me. AHHH!! They must have thought I was quite a strange little kitchen gremlin, because every time I came out with a fresh tray of meat or beans, they would say hello, I would respond with “I love cheese cake, try the cheese cake.” The whole club now knows I love cheese cake. Each and every one of them. I was just so concerned with making sure there was plenty of food for everyone, I didn’t mentally prepare myself for talking to humans. I am sure they are wondering if they moved in next door to weirdos. I hope I didn’t scare them.

A Nation Divided and The War That Brought Her to Her Knees

A not so Civil War. Starting in our early school days we read about the Civil War. We learn of the greatest battles, the brave generals, the unprepared troops who valiantly stood up to the opposing forces with honor and dignity. What we do not often learn about is the behind the scenes. The quibbles between the men and the generals. What really happened to start the war. Often we think of this war as a step in the emancipation of slavery. What many don’t realize is that the emancipation was only a byproduct of the war. With tensions brewing for years previous, the “freeing” of the slaves could be seen as a mere tactic in a series of moves to gain support. With violent starts, the war raged on beyond what anyone could have foreseen. There were tales of bravery and of foolishness throughout the war. Through this book you will learn about both tragedy and heroics of the men that led and served. Here’s just a few things you’ll learn about: What really happened to trigger the war, McClellen’s demise as a general,The truth about the famous “Emancipation Proclamation”. Eyewitness stories and accounts of battles Civil War I: Bull Run to Chancellorsville will take you through a side of American history that some novice historians may be unaware of and put you in a front row seat to some of the more decisive battles.
