The Castle Ladies Take on Captain Hook (and Win)


When Meema was bringing me home from school on Thursday, she told me she needed me to help her clean up the shelves where the Castle People live.


So, after snack, I got to work. (I always try to be helpful like when we went to the basement to get my Klondike bar out of the freezer, I unloaded the dryer and carried the basket of clothes back upstairs. Meema carried the Klondike bar. I am very strong.)


There was a Lot of stuff to move off the shelves but at last they were empty and Meema could wipe away the dust with a wet sponge.


There were things I'd forgotten about, like this tiny book.


When the shelves were clean and dry, Meema asked me to put the people back and to organize them so that they told a story. (I am good at stories.)


I had to think about a story . . . and I decided to start with the Castle Ladies and their weapons that I gave them last week.


They are surrounding Captain Hook who was trying to steal their treasure.


Meanwhile, the unicorn and alicorn that I painted are looking after their babies. (I painted them too.)


The sentinel is guarding the gold.


Captain Hook is surrounded!!!


The Ladies have defeated him!!! He is so angry that he has stuck his sword in the ground. And now he can't get it out.


On the Fairy People's shelf, the Very Old Fairy Guy is telling stories to the Hippogriff.


This action figure guy is playing on the ice. 

And Hawkie has found a unicorn horn.



Whew! That was a lot of work! Time for a cream cheese and honey sandwich and some library books. I need a rest!

Great stories. YOu have your grandmother's talents.

Oh I love story telling castle people and fairy people, but the unicorn babies were the most fun for me, maybe next to Captain Hooks' sword being stuck!

She is VERY a good at stories. I love her imagination -- take that, Captain Hook! -- and I liked seeing how she painted the unicorn and alicorn.

She has great imagination, presumably an inherited gift, but you foster it well.
