Ignore this title. That's an order.
We made cider yesterday! That was fun. I only remember doing it once before, so it was also somewhat of a novelty. We went swimming, and on the way back we picked as many apples as we could carry. That was fun.
The procedure is jump, grab a branch and shake it as hard as you can. Meanwhile Kevin, who has absolutely no idea that there is a method behind this madness bu who is also completely happy to be part of it, crawls around on the ground piling them up. Then we brought them home and crushed them in a big pan (we...um...accidently ruined the pan...not my fault this time!) and then we pressed them in an actual cider press. It was pretty good, we got over a gallon and a half in what we carried home with us.
That was our excitement of the week-so far.
Fare Thee Well! |

About Me
My name is Christina and I am a 16 year old Christian homeschooler, the fourth of ten kids.
Yeah, I'm different; I like the Lord of the Rings, but dislike Arwen intensely... I get along with my siblings... I like (gasp!) country gospel and southern gospel music and dislike the majority of contemporary... I think the word "cute" applies only to puppies and kittens-no exceptions... I read british comedy and enjoy it immensely... and I eat raw onions. On occasion, that is.
Hope you like it, and tootely-pip!

Thank you I am having fun in California. I get to go swimming which I haven't done in like three years. :P We actually had to buy a suit specially for this trip.
Oh, yeah! He didn't really try to fix his mistake at all. Even the media that was bashing on McCain had to admit that he'd made a mistake in not clarifying what he meant by that statement. It is kind of hard to tell whether it was an honest mistake. Kind of like Hillary crying. :D Though I'm pretty sure that she was acting.
Love, Rose
