What was in the Cypress Woods?Suzanne Marsh“That area of Caddo State Park is not a great place to camp, don't go Maddie. They say thebayou is haunted.”Words had never stopped me from doing what I wanted to do, this was no exception. I had thought more than once that I would like to explore the Caddo Lake area and the bayou. I always longed for adventure. I packed up my hiking gear, the camp stove, and the cooler.

Curlys' DaySuzanne MarshI don't know why human mommy and daddy are home but we are going to have some fun. I sure am not going to let them sleep in. I am already hungry. I'll start by jumping up on the bed, if that doesn't work, I will stand on daddy's chest. He makes funny noises then he pushes me over to mommy. I begin to lick mommy's face...she sits right up, then rolls over and covers her head. It must be time to dig mommy out of the bed.
