The princess had finally calmed down enough to allow him to help her, thanks to Klara.

Werewolf
They walked past his house to a smaller building just behind it. Unlike the other buildings, this one was secured with a padlock. Klara wondered what exactly he had that was so valuable that he didn’t trust just anyone to browse his collection. Entering, Klara realized exactly why. The building was immaculately designed with larger windows for more natural lighting and a high ceiling to prevent large build up of moisture. Unlike other buildings in the village, this one was fitted with large wooden beams which doubled as supports for the walled bookshelves. Klara whistled in praise.

FamilySol: Just What The Dr. Ordered (for Solana)
It seems like only yesterday when NFT's were a little known concept. If crypto currency is in its infancy, you could argue that NFT's were still sperm in the sack. The FOMO taste from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge and others surging have left in the taste in the public's collective mouth that leaves little to be desired, thus the NFT space is filling up faster than my notoriously small stomach trying to eat a triple cheeseburger. With an abundance of projects to choose from, it's hard to know where to invest your hard earned cash. And please, don't take this as a guaranteed win, even the best of tips can go belly up in the crypto-sphere. But there's a project I'm really enjoying called FamilySOL that, even if it crashes and burns, I'm glad I invested my time into this fun little piece of the blockchain. Here's why:

Wanderers on the Earth
There is a persistent Left Bank legend that, when President François Paul Jules Grévy first set eyes of Fernand Cormon’s new work at the opening of the 1880 Paris Salon, he immediately ordered the artist be taken to the Palais de la Légion d’Honneur to receive France’s highest order of merit.

What makes an artist an artist?
I dabbled at drawing as a young child. Coloring and painting were fun endeavors from time to time although my efforts were short-lived and unimpressive. I sewed my own creations and even made little stuffed animals that I had my brothers help me sell. I did some paper crafts that were bookmarks. Glued things together now and then. Molded clay into unrecognizable shapes by anyone other than me. I remember being quite hurt that my father thought my horse sculpture was a cow even after I made it twice and worked extra hard at it the second time.
