Every computer has to have a Language in which to write the applications and operating system. Most computers use several Languages.] It would be nice if that Language were simple enough to use that if you needed to do something simple that wasn't provided for by the computer, you could whip up a little application to do that for you in a matter of minutes. And, even if you needed to do something complex, you could still use this same simple-to-use Language.A computer Programming Language is a group of Commands which tell the computer what to do.If you could devise the simplest computer Language possible, how would you go about it? Perhaps you'd say, "Who needs a computer Language?" Well computer Languages are used to write all those apps you use. Computer Languages are used to write websites. And having a computer Language available to do simple tasks that aren't available by clicking somewhere in an app, would come in handy.Rating G; Reading Level Simple Technical 9th Grade; Longest Words: Transformation, Understandable

The Dancer is a simple story of a young woman in love, a young woman who is trying to find out who she is. While the story is simple, the manner in which it unfolds is anything but. And sometimes the ride is so wild it has everyone, including the Author, hanging on to their seats. The Dancer starts on the Stage and that's where it ends. In between, it goes to the beach, to an Artist's Studio, to a Native Village. We come to understand that the Artist's Studio and Native Village are other worlds. Will the Dancer find true love? Will she find her place in the World? Welcome to the wonderful, if somewhat strange and chaotic world of The Dancer.Series: 5 Books - Fantasy - Other Worlds - Love Story Ease: Very Easy; Target Audience - Everybody who is young at heart and who loves stories about those who are in love and about community.Rating G; Reading Level Very Easy 5th Grade; Longest Word: Categorization Sometimes she felt like she was living on a yo-yo. Flown towards the ground, then hovering there - a few inches away from the ground - before being spun back the other way and flown towards the sky, hovering there and then flown back towards the ground. From one extreme to the other - that was her life. That was her love life also between Ramon and Raul, so different, so alike. Some days she couldn't decide between the two of them. Other days, who cared? They were both Italian, and she liked Italian men.And so, the Dancer's life is very normal. But then magic comes into the scene. Whose magic? Is it good or bad? Whatever this magic is, wherever it comes from, it turns the Dancers life upside-down.

In the second story in this series, Dancer, a Chief, a Shaman, a God who is a horse, and Dancer's other close friends must heal the holes that have developed between the worlds. These holes have developed because Dancer and her friends opened them by using their magic. Of course, their magic alone wasn't enough to open these holes. Their magic had acted on their desires, their desires for things to be different.Once the holes were opened, Dancer and her friends continued to use them, which made the holes larger. But now people are falling through who have no magic to fall back through the other way. People are falling through unintentionally. And somehow that had to stop.This story is told from Jamil, the Artist's, perspective. So, I thought it appropriate to include a short story about another artist at the end. It's titled, The Artist. Creative, I know. This artist has always wanted to be an artist, but has to give up his dream because he can't make enough money at it and because it's not an accepted profession. Eventually, he does become an artist. However, there's one thing he cannot paint - a sunset. And he won't be able to paint a sunset until he understands the beauty behind a sunset.In the second story in this series, Dancer, a Chief, a Shaman, a God who is a horse, and Dancer's other close friends must heal the holes that have developed between the worlds.

In book three, The Dancer becomes the Dancer Magnifique. And the story's focus is more on her daughter, who is now The Dancer.She curtsied to herself in the mirror, and as she did so, her reflection in the mirror curtsied back to her. She tried it again, and without fail, the mirror curtsied back to her. What a marvelous invention she thought, a curtsying mirror. Of course it was just a normal mirror, but she liked being fanciful and pretending that it was a special mirror, one which obeyed her every command.She curtsied to the mirror once more. Then fully assured of her command over the mirror, she walked away. But the figure in the mirror didn't move. She couldn't believe she was not in control of her special mirror, so she just kept walking out the door, even though her reflection did not follow. Besides she was late for dinner, her mother would be expecting her.The Dancer tells her mother. The Shaman, the Dancer's Grandmother, insists that the Dancer must fix the mirror all by herself. Will anyone defy the Shaman and help the Dancer fix the mirror? How would she even start to fix it?

A friend who read The Dancer, said she felt like she was right in the story. When the Dancer danced, she danced. But perhaps you don't relate to the Dancer, there are plenty of other main characters you can relate to. There's the Dancer, who is now called the Dancer Magnifique, or just Magnifique for short. There's her husband, Straight-Spear, the Chief's son. He dances on his horse, Rides-Like-Thunder. Rides-Like-Thunder is a god. Magnifique and Straight-Spear's daughter is now Dancer, following in her mother's footsteps. However, she will dance atop Rides-Like-Thunder, while her mother will not.There's the Shaman and the Director. Their first meeting didn't go well, as she swung Dancer's shoes at him and knocked him out. But now they're buddy-buddy. They act as Grandparents to Dancer. And there's Ramon and Raul - Magnifique's boyfriends before she met Straight-Spear. Now they're buddy-buddy. In the fourth story, Dancer is left all alone. She is old enough to be all alone. But she's used to being among several adults, whom she can rely on for help, most of the time. She doesn't need their help, but just in case. All the adults in her life have left, including Rides-Like-Thunder. They've all gone to other worlds for various reasons. They will be back, but for she is alone. And it's enough to make the Author cry (I forgot to mention that the Author is one of the main characters.) She was all alone, so she did what she always did - she danced. She danced for joy, she danced for strength, she danced for sorrow, she danced for weariness. She danced because she didn't know what else to do. She had been dancing ever since they left. What had it been, 7, maybe 8 days now? She didn't know. At some point, she would fall exhausted, asleep, and stop dancing. But not yet. She felt she could go on for ages.

The Wind is Whispering: Whispering in Your Ear is the sequel to or continuation of The Language of the Wind: Blueberry Juice for the Soul.

And I shared poems about Peace, Paradise, and Butterflies. All of whom rest in the Wind.InThe Wind is Whispering, we'll explore how the Wind speaks to us at different seasons. And I'll share how the Wind Whispers to us in different situations.The Wind is Whispering contains perhaps more subtle messages than The Language of the Wind. That may be because the Wind now has your attention. Whatever the case, the messages contained within both books are deep.Rated G; Reading Level Very Easy 4th Grade. Longest word: disappointments.

This year was an off year for Apples. At least it was in my yard. Others in my neighborhood reported a record year as far as the number of Apples on their trees goes. However, my trees only really invest in producing Apples every other year. And this year they were saving their energy to reach for the sun. Still I must have gotten over 100 Apples off of my two Apple trees. It's fine that I didn't get more Apples because I'm busy doing a million other things including, of course, writing books.In 2017, I wrote Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce. That treat always makes me drool. This year I'm writing Chocolate Covered Cherries Applesauce, which is another treat that will make you be rude and salivate.I hope that you enjoy these Recipes just as much as those in my previous book. And I hope that you get creative and make your own Gourmet Applesauce Recipes. You can find tips on choosing the right Apples and flavors in Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce. I won't bother repeating those tips here. Recipes are handy to have. I often use them as a starting point. But mostly, my cooking is an art. And of course, I don't write down how much of what I put in any of my Applesauces when I'm making them.Notwithstanding that, I've added a chapter at the end of this book titled Recipes. That's where I've tried to recall how much of each ingredient I used in each Recipe. Each of my Gourmet Applesauce Recipes starts with my Basic Gourmet Applesauce Recipe which is also included in the Recipes chapter. Perhaps I wrote that chapter as an attempt to assuage my guilt for not writing each Recipe down at the time I made it. No, that can't be true. I don't feel any guilt about that at all.I must have written it because I wanted you to be able to repeat my successes. I wrote it for you, so that your attempts at making my Recipes wouldn't turn out to be total disasters. Of course, when making a Gourmet Applesauce, it's hard to create a total flop. However, as you'll learn in my Orange Spiced Punch Applesauce chapter, you may end up with something totally different from what you had in mind when you started. Oh those Apples and flavors They can be such tricksters.Rating G; Reading Level Easy 5th Grade; Longest Word - Transmogrified
