The Original Logo. Prompt: "When I was little, I dreamed of living in a treehouse surrounded by a pool with a spiral staircase going up the middle of the trunk. *Tree* In your second to last entry of the month, write about your dream home. Describe the rooms in your fantasy house and any unique characteristics. Be creative!"

When I was young I loved the western show "Bonanza" that was on television every week. Of course the show is based on a setting in Lake Tahoe Nevada. The Ponderosa Ranch was supposed to have bordered or possibly even owned Lake Tahoe. I fell in love with Lake Tahoe and always dreamed of owning a log cabin there. Then the show "Airwolf" came on in the 80s and the pilot of Airwolf lived in a cabin on Lake Tahoe and that made me dream even more. My cabin like his would have a stairway leading to a loft. The outside of the cabin would be logged. The inside would be paneled with cedar or redwood. I would prefer cedar. It would have hardwood floors throughout. There would be a driveway but there would also be a boat deck with a small motorboat or rowboat tied off to it. I'd have the Airwolf house!

Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs Prompt: "Let's talk about your childhood memories of Memorial Day or a similar holiday that honors those who died in military service. Did you march in parades as a girl scout or boy scout? Did you go to the cemetery and place arrangements on the headstones of loved ones?"

I didn't participate in boy scouts. I went to one scout meeting and the scoutmaster called my mother up and let mom know in no short order that children of my quality were not scouting material. She told mom that I was not welcome to come back and I never went. Instead, I joined 4H and did well in it, though I did not attend regularly.

My family also never celebrated holidays. We would celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Independence Day but that was about it. We only celebrated them because of family. We were really poor and could not afford flowers anyway.

I disagree. I don't know that anybody likes suffering except maybe a masochist. I have come to appreciate suffering's eventual effects because it matures me. I just don't think anybody wants to suffer though.
