We had a new little friend come visit, his name is Manny. Manny the Praying Mantis. He showed up on our screen door a few days ago and stayed for 2 whole days. I'm afraid Fritz may have eaten him, but I don't think so because when he was sitting here in the doorway and I pointed him out, Fritz didn't seem to even notice. I'm not sure if he's good at blending in or Fritz is bad at seeing.



Meeting Manny inspired me to write a little story that I'm hoping turns into a kids book. I come up with ideas like this sometimes that I hope will make alot of money without my having to put in too much effort. Any illustrators out there who want to get in on a potential book deal? Any publishers out there looking for the next big hit in children's literature?
