New writing assignment

    I read our new lesson plan for this week and very excited to discover a new essay about a special place to each of us. I have so many good ideas for this. I think that I am going to write about the river that we go to every year. I have a special spot there, besides I think I need to be out there to get a full appreciation for it and to write a wonderful essay about it. I could write about my mom's house in Idaho, or my back porch. I could write about the spot where my husband proposed to me. I could write about the little breakfast spot that my husband and I go to on special days. I could write about the front passenger seat of my car while taking a long road trip. I could write about department stores that we walk around to do Christmas shopping. I could write about the train ride we took in Eureka Springs for our tenth anniversary, that was very memorable. I could go back in time and write about the little creek I used to escape to when I was a kid, or the secret hideout we had. There was an old tree house in the neighbor's woods we would play in. I could write about hunting mushrooms in Washington state with my mom, fighting the underbrush, the smell of the wet dirt and moss that usually fills the Northwest forests. There are so many places that I could write about, it will be hard to chose. I am very excited to write this paper though. My last essay was a little depressing so I think that I want to write something that is going to be a little more upbeat.
