The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Easy #27

Carmen got this pair of jeans at a thrift shop, they didn't look all that great. They were worn, dirty, and even speckled with bleach. On the night before they decide to go their seperate ways for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. But, Tibby says their great and that she'd love to have them. Lena and Bridget also love them. Lena decides they should all try them on, and whoever they fit best will get them! Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly! Even Carmen who never thinks she looks good in any thing looks good in them too! A little while later, they form a pact and decide to form a sisterhood--The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

A Year Down Yonder

Hard #2

It's a beautiful September morning, kind of hazy the 7,1862. Mother is sending me off to Darbon Station in Chicago, IL. We had to come in a taxi cab this time because we needed a trunk to fit all of my things in. Mother would ride back home on the bus. Mother didn't ever have much more than a nickel in her purse, and only a sandwich in the lunchbox, the train tickets pretty much wiped up all out.
