      Hello Children, Hello family! After a long and fulfilling medical career, I retired to practice my real love: putting into words all the little stories I used to invent for my children, and writing them down in books - for everyone to read. Especially my grandchildren. My sweet grandchildren. I hope my little tales will give you many hours of fun, laughter and healthier life. :)

      ALABAMA

      Alabama’s capital is Montgomery and its motto is Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere, which means we defend our rights.

      Before the Civil War, the Citizens Bank of Louisiana issued $10 notes that bore the French word meaning 10. This led to the South becoming known as Dixieland, and since Alabama served as the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War, it became known as The Heart of Dixie.

      Alabama’s nickname is also The Cotton State because of their cotton farms. This may be why the state’s name may come from the Choctaw word meaning thicket-clearers or vegetation gatherers. It is also called The Yellowhammer State since their state bird is the Yellowhammer. Their state flower is the Camellia.

      The Women’s Army Corp Museum at Fort McClellan, in Anniston, is the only museum in the world dedicated to the women in the military. You can also visit Montgomery, founding site of the Confederate States of America in 1861, and later the site of the Montgomery bus boycotts in the 1950s and 1960s. Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in downtown Montgomery is also an interesting place because it is where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as minister.

      Other interesting places are the Ivy Green, birthplace of Helen Keller in Tuscambia; the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville; and the White House of the Confederacy in Montgomery. And if you like peanuts, you can go to Dothan, the Peanut Capital of the World, where fifty percent of all the peanuts in the world are produced.

      Famous people from Alabama are baseball player Hank Aaron, pianist and singer Nat King Cole, civil rights leader and wife to Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King. Another civil rights leader, Rosa Parks, is also from Alabama, as well as the author and blindness educator Helen Keller. The famous Choctaw chief, Tuscaloosa is also an Alabama native.

      ALASKA

      Known as The Last Frontier and The Land of the Midnight Sun, Alaska got its name from the Aleut word meaning great land or that which the sea breaks against. Its capital is Juneau. The state motto is North to the Future. Its state flower is Forget-me-not and bird is a Willow Ptarmigan.

      If you will visit Alaska, you have to go to the Sitka National Historical Park Totem Pole Collection where they have a lot of totem poles made by Alaskan indigenous tribes. You can also visit the Denali National Park, the Mendenhall Glacier in North Tongass National Forest, and the active volcanoes in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes at the Katmai National Park.

      The state flag was designed by a 13-year-old student named Benny Benson from Chignik, Alaska. His design was chosen out of 142 and was adopted as the territorial flag in 1927.

      Alaska is a big state. It is much larger than Texas and it is one-fifth the size of the United States. In fact, if you cut Alaska in half, it would still be larger than Texas. It has an area of 571,951 square miles and measures 2,400 miles east to west and 1,420 miles north to south.

      The tallest mountain in North
