Here I go... View my complete profile...
Well, I discovered an interesting fact about myself today. I apparently make a very good interference shield for our radio. Really. Mom was listening to music on her portable radio today, and it kept receiving static and another station that was interfering with the airwave.
I decided to help Mom by popping the seeds out of some beans, and I leaned in front of the radio. Instantly, the radio started receiving very clear reception. I stood up for a second, and the radio started receiving the static again. I experimented with it for a while, and verified the fact.
Weird. Oh well, I guess that I might find that attribute of myself useful in the future.
Now Mom will probably want me to sit in front of the radio all day, so that she can get a clear signal.
Well, we're beginning to figure out some of the great benefits of having lots of kids. For example, Miss Jocelyn Dixon is hosting a giveaway for some little tiny shoe thingies. I couldn't care less about the shoes (They're a tad bit too small for my hobbit feet), but my Mom is taking advantage of her large number of offspring and making us enter the contest so she can get the shoes for Mariam.
I get two entries in the drawing if I post about it on my blog, so that's why this post is here.

(Mom just smacked me for revealing her methods :-)
This morning, Mom took all of us to a nearby cemetery for a field trip. We have several relatives buried there. Mom wanted us to be able to look at the names, ages, and death dates on the tombstones.
We were also going to take crayon rubbings of the inscriptions of some of the tombstones, but they were so old (think mostly 1800s), that it didn't work. However, I took my camera and got some great pictures.
Wow, I've been busy. Our church's VBS was the last week of July. Therefore, all of our evenings were crammed full. The week after that, we spent a week at a youth camp in Illinois, which was partially headed by my first cousin-in-law-once-removed and his wife. This week, we had my Dad's brother and his family over from Chicago. All of these things have been fun, but it's been busy. Hopefully things are about ready to slow down from here. Well, except for school. I'm not sure when we're gonna start, but it'll be before too long.
In other news...
My CLIE broke the day before I left for camp. I bought a new one from ebay. It's a Handspring Treo 180 (An old one). The main reason I got it was for the thumb keyboard. It didn't come with a charger, so I'm using a Handspring Visor that came with the Treo until the cord I bought comes. Below are some pictures:
Hi, I'm just posting to let y'all know that I'm still alive. Mom says that we need to take a break from being online all the time, and that means that I won't post for a while. (For those of you who email me, I can still email you.)
Keep watching my blog (or RSS feed); I'll be back.
(This last one is my personal favorite.)
