As a young child I could hardly finish any novel I read. I know a lot of children go through this problem, especially in this ever changing world of Gadgets and Apps coming out everyday.

It was very messy when they bought the house, but gradually John and his brother David; a handyman, made fixes to the house.

Elizabeth cleaned the house all day long. Together they got the home in much better shape than what its previous owners left it in. Despite all the daily fixes and cleaning, the Fishers had just one minor problem that never left, Roaches.

It was late fall, and snow flurries floated down the sky, smacking branches of trees as they dropped. The Fisher’s kitchen had never been busier since they moved in.
