I grew up hearing "Once upon a time"... How about you? I loved hearing a good story end with, "And they all lived happily ever after." Oh the joy of folklore, fantasy and fairy tale. Awh yes, let's pretend and imagine, shall we?

 Here is my Friday 56:
"Gretel ran straight to Hansel , opened the door  to the little shed, and shouted: "Hansel we're saved! The old witch is dead."

    Stopping by on the 56...Hurray, the witch is dead (I'm hearing the song from the Wizard of Oz in my head)!
