Greetings on yet another rainy day! Today wasn’t just raining all day, but it was that on and off stuff.

I guess I will do a little update on what I have done in the last two days.

            Sunday evening we had service and there were five of the youth boys that ea. were given a subject to speak on, that was interesting.

After we were dismissed we didn’t really have much to do so Ann, Serena and I joined another group (Kayla, Hannah, and Heidi.) that seemed like they were having no trouble finding something to talk about! We had fun talking to them; sometimes it’s fun to talk to people that you don’t normally talk to, not that we ignore them, but for some reason we don’t usually end up talking with them.

            Mon. I did quite a bit of research for my New York lap book, which lasted until around 1:30-2:00pm. After that I did some laundry and just the normal pick-up-around-the-house. Surprisingly we haven’t had too much going unless I am getting used to busy life and when we don’t have something to do everyday then it seems like we aren’t doing anything!

            Tues. (today.) I went to work with Dad, he leaves around 2:30-300am every morning. He got a new truck just recently and I just haven’t gotten to go along yet to try out all the new gadgets. So we left around 2:45 and boy does that make it seem like a long day! He is a local truck driver; he delivers sawdust to the farms around here. Mostly dairy farms, but he does have a few horse places too, those are fun to go to, and you can look at all the horses there and everything.   I lasted until about 6:00 am. and I couldn’t stay awake anymore, I had stayed up late the night before and didn’t get very much sleep. We ate at 12:00 or so, we had pizza! And Mountain Dew! Dad has been hounding me about liking Mt. Dew, he thinks it is not good for you, but neither is coke or coffee if you drink too much! He asked me if they are allowed to sell it to minors! The last time I drank it it so happened that the next day I was laughing pretty hard about something and Serena goes “see now you are acting all giggly ‘cause of all that Mt. Dew yesterday!” Anyway, after lunch we had a few more loads and then we went home at 2:00-2:30pm. And then I got hooked on the book I started on the road and I fear I didn’t get much done at home! I was reading “The Long-Awaited Child” by Tracie Peterson, it is really good. I will have to tell you’ all what it is about later because I haven’t finished it yet.

            Has anybody ever kept track of how many books they read? Serena, Anessa, and I had a contest to see who could read the most books in a year and of course Anessa won, but I still don’t think that was quite fair because we moved that year and did NOT have time to read much less try to win a contest. Anyway the prize was like $5-15. Worth of a gift. We gave her a $15. Certificate for mom’s book store. And right now I am just keeping track just for the fun of it.

            Well I will go, somehow I can’t write little bloggs, I get talking about something and the words just keep coming. Sorry if it gets boring.    Bye!
