"Well," said Frances, "things are not very good
around here anymore.
No clothes to wear. No raisins for the oatmeal.
I think maybe I'll run away."
"Finish your breakfast," said Mother. "It is almost time for the school bus."
"What time will dinner be tonight?" said Frances.
"Half past six," said Mother.
"Then I will have plenty of time to run away after dinner," said Frances
and she kissed her mother good-bye and went to school.

It was an awesome conference, wasn't it?! It was so great to meet you! I look forward to seeing you again! :)
hello Faith, I think I spent a bit more time with your little bundle of joy than I did you, but I'm so happy to have met you ever so briefly : ) let's stay in touch!
Blog friends, you are lovely. I've returned with much matter to process and share.
To my newfound designer, writer and artist friends, what a pleasure to meet you!
I look forward to hearing what you have to share! I hope the conference was great.
OK Faithy, these are officially cute. I like the little blues traveler. Just needs some shades. But then no twinkle. Also love the littlest member of the Bolshoi.
