  In loving Memory of Arlene m Menkel.When Arlene, aka Hilenie, was a little girl, she often sat on her grandfather's lap, whom she called Pappy. Those were extraordinary times for the two of them. Pappy's enjoyed reading to her as much as she enjoyed listening to him. Pappy would start the stories with what sounded like "Once-a-pon-a-time. Pappy instilled a love for storytelling deep within Arlene. Her plots sprang from what her ear heard as a child. Throughout her life, she had a passion for making up her own stories.  She was also motivated to write, songs, limericks,  and poems. The Hilenie and Friends Series Audiobooks are told from Hilenie's perspective. She always begins and ends her stories in a pickle. She has two imaginary sisters: the unsympathetic Hinenely and the supportive sister Hilena. Little Hilenie loves the land of make-believe, where animals talk. Her woodland characters are often in need of help which sometimes requires a rescue mission. The bears, bunnies, cats, cows, llamas, sheep, goats, Bigfoot, and many others live in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near Vancouver, Washington, USA. All of Arlene's/Hilenie's stories are based on true life, especially experiences that she had with her children.  Each story has a story of its own, but that, of course, is another story.  The Hilenie Series Books resonate with those who  love reading. These stories not only appeal to the young, but they also appeal to the young at heart.

  Roosevelts The: The History of...

  For a man who grew up to become the “Bull Moose”, Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child, suffering from asthma and other maladies. But his physical weakness actually drove him to be more active, which also fostered an interest in nature. In the 1890s, it was Teddy’s turn to make history, leading the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and being decorated for his service with a Medal of Honor. He parlayed his glory into the governorship of New York and then the Vice Presidency under William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, young Teddy was thrust into the presidency, one that would earn him a place on Mount Rushmore. 
  	Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by what was widely believed to be polio at the time. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.  For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II.  
  	If Dolley Madison was instrumental in molding the role of First Lady in the 19th century, credit can be given to Eleanor Roosevelt for revolutionizing the political nature of the role in the 20th and 21st centuries and making it possible for presidents like Bill Clinton to enlist their wives to handle political duties. At the same time, history might remember Eleanor more for what she did outside of the White House, as she became a critically acclaimed and world famous international author and advocate of civil rights, women’s rights.

  “Hurry up, Timmy!” shouted his father. “The sheep will get away from us.” 
  “But, I’m trying my best father,” answered the young 11-year-old boy who was also aspiring to be a shepherd. 
  The night felt special and magical to the other shepherds who were keeping watch over their sheep and goats from vicious animals such as foxes, wolves, lions, and other fierce meat-eating creatures in the dark quiet night in the hills of Israel. They had gotten used to staying up late and even keeping watch over several hundred sheep all at once and at various times. Timmy had Betsy in his hands. She was just a couple of months old. She was his pet. “Ah, tonight feels different from other nights,” said Roadster to Joshua, Timmy’s father. Joshua replied, “Ah, I wonder if something will happen.” “It does feel too quiet and calm.”
