I'm From... By Brandon M

I'm from Stellaluna, my favorite book, and my loving Black Labrador. From the twinkling stars at my cabin in the foothills of Waugh Mountain, from the beating sun of California in Lego Land, and the beautiful Mt. McKinley of Alaska, from the majestic mountains of Colorado, and the song written on top of Pike's Peak. I'm from the dust bunnies under my bed, and the two giant pine trees in my backyard, from Hogwarts, magic, and computers, and from swimming in clear swimming pools to swimming in black fish-filled lakes. From straight A report cards, and a room filled with books for young and for old, I'm from the parents who made me, and I'm glad for who I am. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm From...Billy Colman
By Brandon M I'm from my house deep in the Ozarks Mountains, from the rushing Illinois River and the big sycamore tree. I'm from the rich golden grass of farm land, from the rugged trees that stand tall, from chasing smart old coons with my beautiful redbone hounds in the river bottoms. I'm from going to Grandpa's old country store, from farming the fields in the hot, noon-day sun. I'm from the back-breaking work of chopping down the big sycamore tree, from Little Ann, Old Dan, and all my adorable sisters. I'm from delicious fried eggs, cornmeal bread, and beans, from salt pork and mom's delectable chicken with dumplings. I'm from the determination of saving my money for 2 years to get my amazing pups.
