Отрывок из книги

First, I would like to thank God for giving me an imagination and the talent to tell a good children's story. Without God, this book would not have been possible. A big thank you to my daughter's, Alyssa and Sundy, for allowing me to share Mazie with them as young children. A special thank you to my two youngest children, Madalyn and Grace, for their crazy fun ideas that allowed the words to flow onto the pages and bring the characters to life. I would also like to give a special thanks to my daddy for telling me stories as a young child. A special thank you goes to my daughter Madalyn for using her artistic abilities to create an amazing book cover. Last, I would like to thank my wonderful husband Craig for loving, supporting and believing in me through this whole book writing adventure.

This summer wasn't going to be like any other summer in the past. This summer, Mazie was going to summer camp. She could feel the excitement building as the school bus got closer and closer to her house. Finally, the bus pulled up to Mazie's house. She didn't hesitate one second as she jumped up from her seat, hurried quickly down the isle and off of the bus. Her short and thin little brother, Gabriel, followed closely behind with his arms flapping in the wind, to annoy her. Mazie was to excited to even notice. She was so excited that she almost tripped going up the steps of the porch to the front door of her house. Her brother laughed hysterically at her, but she didn't care. Her mind was swirling with thoughts and all she could think about was getting this summer started. Mazie pushed open the front door and ran up the stairs to her room.

Mazie had just finished her list and could smell the Italian aroma as it floated up the stairs and down the hallway to her bedroom. She quickly yelled down to her mother, "I'm on my way!"

The dinner table was a welcome sight. Spaghetti and garlic bread sat side by side in the middle of the table, surrounded by corn on the cob, tossed salad and a family favorite, chocolate cake. They all sat down and admired the meal that her mother had prepared. Mazie's mother looked at her and said,"Since this is your last night home for 3 weeks, I decided that I would make everyone's favorite meal!" With a tone of appreciation in her voice, Mazie replied, "Thanks mom, I know you worked hard preparing dinner and it looks perfect!" With a simple nod of her mother's head, she knew that her gratitude had been noticed and accepted.
