Persian New Year partying is a two-week affair, so we’re still in the midst of it! Here’s the haft-seen table that Khashayar arranged. In another video, I explain the history and the items.
More to celebrate: given that I’m writing soon-to-be-published novels, Twinkl (a resource by teachers, for teachers and homeschoolers in early childhood and elementary settings that featured me before) listed me among authors and bloggers on their To Be Read List 2022: Top Book Picks From Authors and Bloggers!
Now for a story with a moral. The lives of Lucy and Mooshie are Grimm-inspired reminders of how smarts are better to have than good looks (more about Mooshie here)…
What’s your fave book or fable?

Thank you for sharing your adventures and party!!.. love the story you told about the cats… cats can be determined!!… perhaps Lucy were following the advice of Hunter Thompson; “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming; “Wow! What a ride!” (Hunter S. Thompson)… 🙂
Until we meet again…
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
(Irish Saying)

Poor Lucy! D: But she had it coming, I guess.
You have a very engaging body language, it’s not just great to hear you tell a story, it’s also fun watching you tell the tale.

Good job! I enjoyed the tale. I felt a bit sorry for poor old Lucy Cat, but I guess she got what was coming to her for being so proud and nasty.

Excellent story. You’ve made the cats so believable, I can see the two of them squaring off for battle.

Have you thought about writing these speeches as stories and submitting them to a short story competition or magazine? Some of your oral stories are worthy of this kind of application.
