Some other talents Noe has --
You know I just love to brag about him...
Here's some more of the woodart personalized name pieces Noe did in the past. His stuff is so nice because he adds color stain to the wood. That way you still see the grain and the character of the wood, AND you get a colorful piece. Of course, the artist in him makes them outstanding :-)

One of these days I'm either gonna get his scroll saw machine fixed again,
or get him a new one... this talent is too good to sit idly by.

Kindle Fire, HD or 7", or something else?
Do you own a Kindle Fire? I can’t decide if I want one of these or an Android tablet, but I’m leaning more toward Android.
I found this article enlightening: Amazon caves in, will remove ads from Kindle Fire for $15 fee.
I must say, it bothered me to learn that there even are ads on those things, much more so that Amazon was thinking of not allowing people to get rid of that, and way more so that it would cost you $15 if you wanted to do it!
So is there fine print some place that tells you there will be ads on these things? And just how big, how annoying are they? Are they already there on the original Kindle Fires? I know some friends that have them, just never thought to ask them about that. One person did say that if you want to be able to get to places other than Amazon stuff, he has to pay a monthly fee -- I couldn’t understand that either, not sure what he means by that. I mean, why would anyone like having one of these if you have to pay a monthly fee to use them? He says he doesn’t like or recommend Kindles, obviously.
Ok, then, tell me -- what’s been your experience, what do you like and not like about your tablet?? I’m looking to get one in the near future -- need your input, people!! Thank you for reading what noeandcindy.write !

About "Sarah's World: The Nickname"
This book Noe wrote was also an idea of mine from my childhood friendship with Margaret, introduced in our second book Sarah’s World: Sarah looks out the window.
As I remember it, Margaret didn’t like her name, mainly because of Dennis the Menace and his friend he was always calling “Dumb ol’ Margaret”!
Now, I can completely understand that, as I’m sure you can too. But she couldn’t come up with a different name to be called that everyone liked... she tried Meg from the book Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, but no one liked that name back then, so none of us would call her that.
Actually, all I ever called her when she and I were able to see each other was Margaret. "The Nickname" for her came along after she moved away... we had both promised to write each other, and I think on my very first letter to her, it just came to me -- Margie was a perfect name for her! I guess her family thought so too, because I remember her writing back, excitedly telling me that’s what she was now called, everyone in her family loved it. We eventually lost touch, but I’m pretty sure that nickname stuck with her.
My name is also a nickname for a longer kind of odd name. I was only called that “birth certificate” name when someone was looking for the kid that did something wrong -- there were six kids in my family and I was rarely the culprit. But hey, Mother was an equal opportunity parent, so we all got our full names hollered once in awhile!
Anyway, as a result of it being odd, my only being called that name when I might be in trouble, and the fact that no one knows me by that name, I don’t like the new rules saying we all have to go by our “legal” “birth certificate” names these days... because really, names mean a lot to us, and that’s why I included this at the end of the book:
I hope you enjoy reading our book. It reminds me of my childhood and that dear friend, Margaret... um, I mean, Margie!

Dedicated to everyone that is called another name they love besides their legal name,
because even though it’s not the name on a birth certificate, a nickname is really you.

More Pcee illustrations!
We've been working on some more illustrations for Sarah and Pcee... just need something to liven that book up! We plan to go to Amazon and update the book with these illustrations sometime, but that's another project for another day.
Here's this one, after Sarah brings Pcee in to her
"aquarium without water."
Hey, we're mentioned on Squidoo :-)

About "Sarah looks out the window"
We really enjoyed doing this book. I had an idea of Sarah having her cousin come stay for the summer, the way our cousins used to do when I was young. Well, sometimes it wasn’t all summer, and sometimes we were all staying at our grandmother’s house, but still ... seems that’s missing in a lot of young people’s lives these days.
For a time at the trailer park my uncles owned -- which they named after me: Cindy Acres! -- a lot of families in the military would live there instead of on the base. That way they could have a little more “normal” family life, I guess. Anyway, we got to be friends with many of these families, and one of them had a daughter the same age as me, with another daughter the same age as my sister. Margaret was my friend there for two summers, and we played together when we’d go visit my grandmother on weekends during school and in the winter.
Margaret was so cute and funny, with a great sense of humor. I loved her laugh, and so did she, actually. When she got a new cassette player, we had so much fun listening to our own voices on playback -- little did we know, you really sound different to everyone else than you do to yourself! But Margaret especially liked to laugh and play that back over and over, silly girl!
Noe wanted to use the idea of Sarah and her cousin Margaret in his second book of the Sarah’s World series, Sarah looks out the window. And he’s always been interested in birds and knows which is which, not like me! He sees one and asks, did you see that Mockingbird?... or Redheaded Woodpecker, or Red-winged Blackbird and so on. Of course, I hardly ever do, I’m not as keen-eyed as him.
Anyway, taking these two subjects, he put them together into such a cool story! And we self-published it on Amazon Kindle, but this time added a bunch of illustrations, unlike our first one, Sarah and Pcee. I love the way Noe is able to draw his own ideas of what Sarah would look like, how her yard would be, the decorations in her room.... even the expressions of the birds’ faces! Guess you can tell, I’m no artist ...
We also took advantage of the fact that, in an ebook, you can add links to websites with more information, so we looked around for some good ones and put the links at the end. It makes such a nice addition.
If you haven’t had a chance to get this book, please do -- I know you’ll like it ~
