Lolly·Dot's Place©
...The adventures of a Proper Lady bug and her friends...
| The stories of Lolly-Dot© and her friends were first conceived for my son Shane some ten years ago when he found a lady-bug on an old tree stump in our backyard. On summer nights with the window open we would lay on his bed listening to the crickets and he would tell me about his adventures of the day. In my attempt to lull him to sleep I told him stories of that little bug he had found...and thus the Lolly-Dot© stories were born. |
Lolly-Dot© was a proper lady, as was her bringing up since a small bug at her mother’s knee. She had a servant’s heart, though quite shy. She was always making pies and cakes and treats for her neighbors. She was a good neighbor. Oh, she liked a good gossip like any other busy bee, but she only wished everyone well, and was thoroughly sorrowful at another’s misfortunes.
Flutterby© was her best friend. They had known each other from the beginning. Flutterby’s© temperament being at times a challenge for Lolly’s© more stable notions. Lolly© was definitely a homebody. There was no place she would rather be, due to her shy nature. She preferred to invite friends in for tea or a quilting, or a look at her garden, with which she was always very generous.
Flutterby© was somewhat the admired one for her great beauty and not her ability to keep track of things. She was always forgetting. Sometimes Lolly was quite surprised that Flutterby©could remember her way back to Lolly’s© tree stump. Yet, she would always show up very unexpectedly and without announcement. Lolly© didn’t mind really, with Flutterby© it was as if they had never been apart. They would pick up their conversation quite easily. Lolly© was always interested in Flutterby’s© adventures, when Flutty© could remember them….
