Summer used to tell the best bedtime stories. When Charity and I shared a room, Summer would come in, sit on the bed, and begin with "Once upon a time, there were two squirrels - one named Charity and the other named Jannie..." and we were hooked. ANY story that involved an animal that had our names MUST be a good one!
I also remember her telling the story about this picture Mom had on the wall. The picture was a victorian style painting of a teddybear and a trumpet. I don't remember what else was in it (except it was mostly pink), but I remember the teddybear and the trumpet. Summer started with the usual, "Once upon a time..." and continued into the most fantastic journey about a young boy who had a teddybear and saved a kingdom with the use of the trumpet. It was exciting, full of adventure and twists and humble glory. One time I asked Summer to retell it and she didn't even remember that she told me a story about it. But I really liked that one - I still wish I remembered the details. It was a cool story!!!

yeah, that was a pretty good story, wasn't it? do you remember any of the details? i would love to rewrite that thing.
by the way, i'm terribly flattered that you remember that thing!
It was an awesome story! I really wish I could remember it. You told it to us when we lived on Cavalier drive, then when we were about to move away from Quailbrook, I asked about it and you didn't remember telling it. Gosh, I liked that story!
