Pocahontas

May 11

Not only do I love the history of Pocahontas, but the Disney movie is my absolute favorite!  Since I was about four or five years old, I have been watching this movie and pretending to be Pocahontas.  I recently found the Pocahontas costume that I would wear as I would jump off the recliner and run down the hall, acting as if I were her while I watched the movie.  Once outside, I would jauntily run down a winding stone path around a magnificent live oak in our backyard.  The live oak became Grandmother Willow, and my dog became Meeko.  My imagination would always take me back hundreds of years to a place in time where I was an indian princess!
