My Turtle or ‘Yes, I wrote this today…not when I was 12’ I took my turtle for a walk today we started in the garden he commented that it needed weeding my head nodded in agreement we walked on then downtown casually moving past the windows he saw a book he thought I’d like so we went inside and bought it for dinner tonight we had a salad I made the dressing fresh from herbs I grew he wouldn’t even try it it’s hard to get him to try anything new now my turtle sits quietly beside me as I write sometimes he offers suggestions mostly just tells me that I’m great I couldn’t have a better friend he knows me in and out asks only for my company an occasional walk about [This message has been edited by JLR (edited 06-23-2001).] |

I almost feel a song coming on: Me and my turtle...to the tune of Me and my shadow...I could probably do it if I could remember the rest of the shadow song. Enjoyed the walk about with you and your turtle! |

cute one...i saw a family of turtles the other day as i walked by the duck pond in the park.. they were basking in the sun until they heard my voice say "look at the turtles" haa...they jumped in the water.~Victoria~ Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up. |

JLR, I love this!! Today in our Sunday paper was an article about some people who had a petting zoo and are missing a 75lb African spur-thighed tortoise. She "ran" away at about 1/2 mile a day. Boy, will she have a story to tell when she gets home! I wonder if she is on her way to Africa or just Michigan. Keep them light and fun, ME |
