True Grit – A Review

My Nanny and Da (my mom’s parents) lived on a cotton farm in Sudan, Texas. My brothers and I would spend time there during the summers, and it was always a great sort of adventure. There were horses and pigs to be ridden and fed (in that order). Da kept a pile of useless junk [...]

A Review of "Up"
