The Tiny Trio:Three Amigos, December 17 2013

     I got three gerbils today! Mom and I were discussing future pets a day after my other gerbil died, Mom said two gerbils for christmas would be fine (I was surprised). I wanted to see some gerbils to help me think for future reference so we went to one pet store but they didn't have any gerbils. The next store we found the perfect one, a black and white gerbil like I wanted but there where two others to decide from. I found many qualities in both gerbils that I loved so much I couldn't make up my mind, finally Mom announced I could get them all I was delighted to hear this. Now I have a black and white gerbil named Oreo, a tan gerbil named after my past gerbil Cookie, and a gray gerbil with faint white markings named Scratch. So far Cookie the second has first day jitters but otherwise all is well.      NOTE: Our clerk said they where selling like mad and we were the first to see the gerbils, also they were just put out to be sold so we took the deal( they were on sale).

The Old Timer Gazette

George Washingtons Sergeant Fair!

     Recently, Mary Ludwig's husband has fallen in battle. She took his place at the cannon bravely loading and shooting. George Washington took this to mind right away and crowned her Sergeant of the Army. She also receives this honor due to her services (bringing pitchers of water to the soldiers) hence her present name "Molly Pitcher". 
     To some people this is no surprise for Molly grew up on a farm pulling one-hundred-eighty pound sacks up the stairs. So if you see George Washington's Sergeant Fair remember to salute.
