Countless family fun times were spent in the Hinsdale Park in the summertime boating and skiing. Even at their 50th wedding anniversary, they were still dancing like a professional dance pair. As a young married couple, they attended many dances and enjoyed the camaraderie of many other area couples. They became the parents of Diane, Jane, and Duane. In March of 1948, he was joined in marriage with Charlotte Waber. ![]() He then returned to Hinsdale and became a partner with his dad in the general store until it was sold in 1975. He attended Hinsdale schools graduating in May 1944 and joined the Navy in August 1944, where he served in the Seabees in the South Pacific area during WWII until 1946. He was always amazed that he had lived that long! But his reunion with his wife Charlotte, who passed in 2018, after 70 years of marriage, was something he truly looked forward to.ĭuring his youth, Bob worked in the summers for various farmers in the community (Martin Swanson, Albert Kerr, Andrew Stiley, and Dick Nelson) and at Claypool’s Grocery after 1940 when it was purchased from Buttreys. ![]() He passed peacefully on February 17, 2023, in Glasgow, Montana, at age 97. Robert Hugh Claypool was born in Hinsdale, Montana on Novemto Bessie (Trousil) and Homer Claypool. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After great success of the series, a sequel called Delightful Moomin Family: Adventure Diary ( 楽しいムーミン一家 冒険日記, Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka: Bōken Nikki ) was produced and aired on TV Tokyo from October 10, 1991, to March 26, 1992. The series helped fuel the " Moomin boom" of the 1990s, including an obsession with Moomin plush toys in Japan. While many episodes are faithful or at least loosely based on the novels and comic strips, the series has its own consistent continuity. Most of the stories involve discovering magical objects and creatures, adventures in different locations or dealing with everyday situations. The series follows the many adventures of Moomin and family, together with their friends, around Moominvalley and sometimes outside of it. ![]() Moomin takes place in the peaceful rural land of Moominvalley, where a young Moomin along with his parents Moominpappa and Moominmamma live in Moominhouse. The series had also been dubbed into English and aired on CBBC in United Kingdom during the same year. Moomin first aired on TV Tokyo from April 12, 1990, to October 3, 1991. Based on the Moomin novels and comic strips by the Finnish illustrator and author Tove Jansson and her brother Lars Jansson, it was the third anime adaptation of the property and the first to receive distribution in different countries worldwide. Moomin ( Japanese: 楽しいムーミン一家, Hepburn: Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka, Delightful Moomin Family) is a Dutch-Japanese anime television series produced by Telecable Benelux B.V. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On June 2, 2015, two metal-detector hobbyists aware of the area’s heritage, George Powell and Layton Davies, drove ninety minutes north of their homes, in South Wales, to the hamlet of Eye, about four miles outside Leominster. Although the region surrounding Leominster (pronounced “Lemster”) is no longer officially known as Mercia, this legacy is preserved in the name of the local constabulary: the West Mercia Police. ![]() In the tenth century, these realms were unified to become the Kingdom of England. For much of the early Middle Ages, Mercia was the most powerful of the four main Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the others being Wessex, East Anglia, and Northumberland. Christianity has even older roots in Leominster: a monastery was established around 660 by a recent convert, the Saxon leader Merewalh, who is thought to have been a son of Penda, the King of Mercia. The town’s most lurid attraction is a well-preserved ducking stool, a mode of punishment in which an offender was strapped to a seat and dunked into a pond or a river while neighbors jeered the device, last employed in 1809, is now on incongruous display inside the Priory Church, which dates to the thirteenth century. Shops housed in half-timbered sixteenth-century Tudor buildings face the main square, offering cream teas and antiques. Leominster, in the West Midlands area of England, is an ancient market town where the past and the present are jumbled together like coins in a change purse. ![]() ![]() We don't allow personal recommendation posts.

One is one hour less and costs two credits but can be bought for 34 bucks. One strange thing though is there are two copies of this on Audible. It is just part of what these travelers faced. I am ever amazed at that but that is not what the story is about. Some would be religious no matter how many they burned alive. This book confirms my low opinion of the church though and I am sure not all feel the same. This is a very high comparison as that is the best book I have ever downloaded and is of the same period as this. I can only compare this book to Pillars of the earth by Ken Follett. I listened to every word and couldn't get enough. ![]() And no, it isn't a story about the plague. But this journey is through a plague ridden England in the 1300's. This like all really good novels is a journey, ie The Wizard of Oz. The one armed story teller is one, but there are more. There are tales within tales in this book and characters you are not likely to forget soon. This author is brilliant and has storytelling skills far beyond most. ![]() ![]() That is the lesson that sent me into exile and now sets me free again.’ That was the lesson it took me so many years to learn. I will always remember now that love is liberty. I understood everything I needed to know, and I love you more than all the women I have ever known, more than I loved the woman who, quite unwittingly, exiled me to the forest. You came to free me from the slavery I myself had created, to tell me that I was free to return to the world and to the things of the world. Then you came, and I understood all of this. Knowing that you existed was my one reason for continuing to live.’ Knowing that my Soulmate would come one day, I devoted myself to learning the Tradition of the Sun. ![]() You were my hope during my days of loneliness, my anxiety during moments of doubt, my certainty during moments of faith. That you will never be mine, and that is why I will never lose you. ![]() ![]() ![]() I finally felt some semblance of belonging - hey, at least now I could understand and be understood. Learning French, nearly three years after I had lived in France, would go on to change my entire experience here. French culture is nothing like American culture, and it can be really difficult at times.Ī huge theme of the course was the power of language. As humans, we crave to belong and we crave to connect. It was obviously the hardest in the beginning, but even now, six and a half years later, there are still days when I just feel.different. Although I immigrated from one western country (the United States) to another (France), there’s no denying the culture shock, separateness, loneliness, and homesickness I experienced. As an immigrant myself, albeit a white immigrant in a majority white country, I couldn’t help but relate to several of the books that we covered. We focused on the Chinese, Indian, and Cuban diaspora in America. ![]() One of my classes was called “Minorities’ Literature.” The course focused on books written by immigrants living in America and highlighted the diaspora they each experienced. My final semester of my Master’s degree was one of my favorite parts of my program. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The second is when he is beginning to see that life is much more complicated and depressing than he had expected it to be. The first is when Douglas is just beginning his summer and has had a beautiful revelation that he is alive. ![]() There are three scenes, one at the beginning, one in the middle, and one at the end. A bottle of the wine can then be accessed months later - in the cold of winter, Douglas explains - in order to draw upon the warmth and richness of the summer memory.īradbury also uses the making of dandelion wine as a way to structure his novel. The bottling of dandelion wine is, first, a metaphor for the bottling and preservation of memory. What role does dandelion wine play in the text? ![]() Examples of connections include: 1) coming-of-age and initiation stories (Twain, Franklin) 2) spiritual discoveries, the sense of wonder, joy in the sensory experiencing of life, the miraculous and marvelous in the quotidian (Whitman) 3) symmetry and balance in structure (dandelion wine bottling mirrors Hawthorne's three scaffold scenes in The Scarlet Letter) 4) the will to live and the will to die (Queequeg in Moby Dick) 5) Melvillian motifs of light and dark and good and evil 6) nostalgia, Americana, growing up (Twain) and 7) insidious darkness and danger (Poe). How does this work connect to American literature as a whole?Ĭritic Marvin Mengeling provides an illuminating look at where this novel fits into the arc of American literature. ![]() |
