Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
If you haven’t noticed from all the blogosphere love, today is Lenny Lee’s 13th birthday. Happy Birthday Lenny! So I wanted to share my Lenny Top Ten. You ready for this?
Top Ten Things I’ve Learned from Lenny
- Be yourself. If you’ve had contact with Lenny, you know that his bright soul shines through all his posts and comments. He’s so purely him,
- Be positive. A corollary to #1. All the positivity not only makes others happier, but it makes you happier, too.
- If you want to improve your writing, study hard then share what you learned with others. If you haven’t read Lenny’s posts on writing, you are missing out. I learn a ton from him!
- Old-fashioned snail mail letters never go out of style. I have gotten a letter or two from him, and gosh they put a goofy grin on my face!
- Raccoons are cute. Well, not so cute when they tear open your garbage and throw it everywhere, but I can love them anyway because Lenny does. 🙂
- Nightshade City by Hilary Wagner is awesome. I read this book because Lenny so highly recommended it. A very fun read!
- You reap what you sow. Okay, this is a corollary to #1 and #2. Lenny gets so much love from the blogosphere because he gives so much love.
- It’s always a good time to eat Reeses’ Peanut Butter Cups. Okay, I knew this one before I met Lenny, but he really reinforced it for me. 🙂
- Southern charm is real! And Lenny has it. What with his “Miss” Janet (or whoever), and his “hugs” . . . Gosh it’s all so charming it just melts my heart.
- You’re never too small/young/insert-other-limiting-adjective-here to make a difference. Lenny has influenced so many people, it’s amazing. I hope to be like him when I grow up. (Though, do children’s writers ever really grow up?)
Happy Birthday Lenny! I hope it is a happy one. 🙂

Birthday,
Lenny Lee,
Reeses Peanut Butter CupsI know you’ve all been dying to find out what kind of car had the license plate SUSHIBX. I admit, having seen the car, I didn’t realize how hard this one would be. But all the more fun, right?
Okay, so we had a couple of great guesses:
Sandy Shin randomly guessed (her own admission) a dark-blue Toyota Highlander. She got two of the three features right. It is not a Highlander.
Lenny Lee deciphered the coded license plate with the skills of a true detective. Sushi for a Japanese car, and Box for a box car. I know you’ve seen them . . . Honda Element, Nissan Cube. Literally boxes on wheels. But it’s neither of those.
For the candy bar, Bob, the answer is a dark-blue Toyota Scion xB!
I have contacted both of the winners, and gleaned their favorite candy bar. Twix for Sandy, and Reeses PB cups (minis) for Lenny. However, in a twist, he has chosen the surprise option. Sorry, you’ll have to wait until he gets it. I can’t spoil the surprise.
