I'm From, Billy Colman I'm from the hazy Ozarks, From the Illinois River, From the lovely river bottoms, I'm from hunting with my two little hounds, from skinning coons on the hills, I'm from my mother to my dad, from the protection they give me, I'm from my mom letting me go hunting, from trying not to get my clothes wet, I'm from my dad making me a grown man, from him coming hunting with me occasionally, I'm from walking down to my grandpa's store to pick up some candy, from giving him skins of coons, I'm from my first taste of soda, from the great taste of horehound, I'm from traveling to Tallequah on my barre feet, from from rescuing my dogs from the kennel, I'm from the hate the Pritchard boys give me, from the trouble of finding that ghost coon, I'm from staying at home and eating dinner with my family on Sunday nights, From the sways of the trees...I'm Billy Colman By:Donovan

My Favorite Place By: Donovan My favorite place to go in the whole wide world is Aspen, Colorado. Aspen is an enjoyable place to stay. My family and I go to Aspen every single year for a family tradition. I used to love aspen when I was a little boy,The Gant (where we stay every year) has two pools and I used to pop on my squeaky, shiny floaties on my skinny bonny arms and hop like a kangaroo off the slippery sides of the pool. My fingers get as wrinkly as a prune. Every year it is my three cousins, my uncle and aunt, my sister, my brother, my mom and I all stay in the same place. My grandparents stay with there friends in another apartment at the Gant. We go to my grandparents place every night every year and they make us hold our hands behind our back and then they hand us presents, it is so fun because they get different stuff for us every year. We all chatter right before we get the presents, and they hand them to us and some time they are smooth and furry, or other times they maybe sharp and rough. The air in aspen is like a rain forest and fresh air island mixed together. We go into town and check out all the neat funky stores, they have miniature clothes for babies or real large clothes for real tall people. Aspen is still an enjoyable experience for me, of course not as fun as the years before because I was younger. I can't wait for Aspen every year, its one of the things I look forward to when the school year starts, the great scents, looks, and feelings are looking for my family and I every single year...
