My Irish Heritage

My Irish Heritage

With Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, I thought I’d write about something not very few people know about me. I am part Irish, and part Cherokee Indian. However it is the Irish side that I am most interested in. I have discovered through investigating in my spare time that I am distantly related to the English. By this, I mean, the British royals also rule over the Irish people. I have never explored this side of my life before. I sometimes wonder what it might be like to have servants like the royal family does. However, there are people who help me when I need it. That is good enough for me. I have also had a little fascination with the royal greeting for quite some time. By this, I mean the bow or curtsy greeting given when someone is around a member of the monarchy. This happens rarely here, and that’s fine.  However, I think this would be a fun experience to have, at least for a while. If I could have anything in the world, it would be to experience more of my Irish side.  I might even like to be curtsied to just for fun. Only with those who may be willing, and only in a perfect world.  This is not a perfect world though.

Mystery in a Texas Town

Mystery in a Texas Town

By Charles Rachel

Once upon a time in the Texas town of El Paso, there lived a man named John Smith. He was the town’s mayor. One day a new restaurant opened in the town. The restaurant served sea food, chicken, and other great dishes. Then one day, a mysterious woman suddenly appeared in the town. No one knew  who the woman was, or exactly what she was doing there. As it turns out, the woman was the wife of the restaurant owner. His name was William Price. His wife’s name was Lillian. Many people ate at the restaurant on a daily b ases. One afternoon John went to the restaurant for lunch. After lunch, John left the restaurant and headed to a meeting, but he never made it to the meeting. Everyone was getting worried, and no one knew where he was. Everyone began searching everywhere for him, but he couldn’t be found anywhere. or so they thought. However, there was one place they didn’t look,   in the basement of the restaurant. That’s where John was.  It seems he was being held there for unknown reasons by the owners of the restaurant. John’s friends opened the basement door and let him out. The police arrested the restaurant owner, and charged him with kidnapping, and keeping an official from performing his job.  Other members of the owner’s family took over running the restaurant, and all ended well. As for the original owner, He retired from the business.

Second Thoughts

Second Thoughts

By Charles Rachel

The only reason a man might find a wallet in the street and put it back after looking inside is, if he might be planning to steel the contents of it. This might be money, credit cards, or any other items he thought he might be able to use for a certain purpose. Then the man might have re considered his decision, and decided instead to do the correct thing. If I was the man who found the wallet, I would try to find the owner of the wallet. If I was unable to locate the owner, I would turn the wallet in to the police and tell them where I found it. I would hope they would be able to return the wallet to its rightful owner. That is what I would do in this type of situation.

Updated Superstition List

Updated Superstition List

By Charles Rachel

For many years, we have heard lots of superstitions. Such as don’t walk under a ladder, you will have seven years of bad luck if you break a mirror, don’t cross in front of a black cat, and step on a crack, and break your mother’s back. Many people believe these silly superstitions. These sayings have been around for many years. I think it is time to include a few new ones. We all know horse shoes are considered a lucky charm. Wouldn’t it stand to reason then, if you owned a horse you might be four times as lucky? Because horses wear four of  them.

Why I Should Get what I Want for Christmas This Year

Why I Should Get What I Want for Christmas This Year

By Charles Rachel

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good boy this year. I have been kind to others, and I try to help anyone who needs it. I am also a very hard worker. I have even been trying not worry as much about things I can’t change, and I try to make improvements in my life, and in the lives of those around me when I can. These are some of the reasons I think I should get the gifts I asked for this year.

Fish War at Sea

Fish War at Sea

By Charles Rachel

Most people may not know this, but there is a war going on at sea. It is between the Narwhals and Hammerhead fish. They are friends most of the time. However, it becomes a war between them when it is mealtime. The Narwhals and Hammerhead each go out in search of food. They are each very protective of any pray they find. Neither species of fish likes to share their food. They each soon find their own food, and peace is restored. This happens each time they hunt for food. Sometimes if they are hungry enough though, they might even try to eat each other. Most of the time, but when they don’t it is like a war. An ancient sea turtle once told me this story.

    

If My Favorite Book came to Life

If My Favorite Book came to Life

By Charles Rachel

My favorite type of book these days is one about England or Irland. This is because I am part Irish, and I have always been interested in the royal lifestyle. I realize I will most likely never meet a member of the royal family, so this would be a fun way to learn about it. If my favorite book came to life, we would act out the story. I of course, would be the king. If the book was a person, he or she would be expected to bow, curtsy, and maybe even kneel to me from time to time. Not to mention Obey my every command, and grant every request. Within reason of course, I would have advisers, and would also be happy to listen to any suggestions my loyal subjects might have. I would be living my fantasy. If this actually happened, I would want to live it over and over again. I think it would be fun.
