The Birthday Dresses

Two flat shirt boxes wrapped in bright paper and ribbon. Caroline seemed to know what the gift was even before she opened it to gleefully find handmade dress from Nana with strawberry buttons at the shoulders. Hannah also seemed to have a good idea what was in box before she opened it. She ripped apart wrapping paper and box only to pause in shock when she saw a dress laying within the soft layers of tissue paper. One tonsil revealing wail exposed the source of her disillusionment: "But I wanted a puppy!"

Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland

There is a scientific explaination for the creation of this awesome formation. For the moment, pay it no mind...

"...After working on the great bridge night and day for a week, Finn MacCool was tired. He needed to rest so that he would be ready to fight his foe, a giant named Benandonner. So he bought time (and, as it turned out, achieved victory) by a cunning ruse. Benandonner came to Finn's house, ready to fight Finn. But Finn and his wife fooled him into thinking that Finn was much tougher and stronger than the Scottish giant. This made Benandonner so frightened that he fled Finn's house without a fight. He ran all the way back to Scotland across Finn's bridge, destroying it as he went. And today all that is left are the polygonal columns of Giant's Causeway and Staffa (an island off the coast of Scotland with similar rock formations)." From St. Louis Public Library
