Stanely Miles

It's funny the connections we humans make when we live a Big Life filled with family & friends  & books & The World-Wide-Web, isn't it? 

I noted a few things that happened this week in history and here's what Daughter C had to say in the comments:
This is what I've been trying to think of:

Linus van Pelt: In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: "We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."


Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt: Amen.


Sally Brown: Do you know what we have to do? We have to write an essay on Stanley Miles.

Charlie Brown: You mean Miles Standish.


Sally Brown: I can't keep track of all those names.
