What A Red State I Am In? (Cranberries, not Politics, I'm Speaking!"

This morning Papa and I went back to the cranberry bogs behind my school on the way to the annual Cranberry Festival at Edaville Railroad in South Carver, Massachusetts.  Though no workers were to be seen, we were met by this ferocious guard dog....he truly was having so much fun frolicking in the red berries, he forgot his job of guarding!

                     "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

                                                                 Helen Keller 

                       "He is lucky who, in the full tide of his life, has experienced a measure of the active environment that he most desires.  In these days of upheaval and violent change, when the basic values of today are the vain and shattered dreams of tomorrow, there is much to be said for a philosophy which aims at living a full life while the opportunity offers.  There are few treasures of more lasting worth than the experience of a way of life that is in itself wholly satisfying.  Such, after all, are the only possessions of which no fate, no cosmic catastrophe can deprive us:  nothing can alter the fact if for one moment in eternity we have really lived."
