Jul. 10, 2009 - 4th of July, Roosters, and Field peas
Hello everyone! 
I hope you all had a greath 4th of July! Comment on this post and I'll read about yours if I can. Well, for my 4th of July two friends of ours came over and we shot off fireworks and ate! We had ribs, hot dog weenies, potato salad, baked beans, watermelon, and ice cream! It was really good! The fireworks were really neat, but Elijah (whose birthday was yesterday) was scared of them so Mama kept him in the house. She came out to see the big one, though! It was pretty fun! We picked a mess of field peas (and a couple of bags of green beans) at my Bobo's (grandad's) farm and spent like 3 days shelling them all. When I thought we were almost done I found some more bags. 
Nice, huh? We got to watch a lot of movies, though! Including "Gone with the Wind," which we hadn't seen in a long time! Anyway, about the rooster, we were all sitting around the dinner table and Daddy said, "Oh, no, Lucy's got the rooster!" (Lucy is our English setter, who happens to be a bird dog 
) so all us kids ran outside to scare Lucy away and look at it. Before I got there, one of my sisters said "It's still breathing; it's still alive!" So I went over there and squatted down. The other kids asked me if I thought it was gonna make it, and I shook my head "no". I reached over to pick it up and it hopped up and ran away! 
We chased it for a while before we caught it and put it back up. He's doing fine! I was really disappointed because I thought he was dead because I read in Uncle John's Fast-Acting, Long-Lasting Bathroom Reader that if there is no rooster in a herd of chickens one hen will quit laying eggs, protect the herd, and crow! I don't know if that is accurate, but if it is, I'd sure hate to lose a layer! Not all my hens lay eggs, and I sure don't want any less! Oh, yeah, Elijah had a really good birthday yesterday! He loved all his presents and had a good monkey cake. It was really cute. I'll see if I can post a picture later. Well, that's about it for this post.

Hi!
Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry it took me so long to get back. I was at my Grandma's house all last week and her computer's a little on the slow side!!!
The flying ended up going great. I was a little sick both going there and coming home but it wasn't too bad! The worst part for me is always the landing, but the takeoff is a lot of fun! It is so thrilling :-)
It sounds like Elijah had a really fun birthday. I'm glad you guys had an exciting day!
In Christ,
Christine
