Well, the days have been busy and I haven't had time to write so you'll have to forgive me for not keeping my blog updated. I have now finally gotten around to it. The days have been jammed-packed, and with my Dad gone at Prespetary last week, there were lots of things to take care of at home. But with waiting this long there are things that have to be told, and I will tell you now, starting where I left off on June 27.

July was our month off and nothing very spectacular happened then so we'll go on to August.

August (as you can see from the picture below) was topped by a Capitola beach visit with the Schroeders. I was burried alive and was about to be roasted like a fish by cannibals. And if things seemed like they couldn't get worse, they did. Out of the frying pan into the fire they say. So it was with me. They decided to make me eat anchovies before they roasted me so I would have a better taste. Luckly, someone came along and saw my plight, and scared off the cannibals before anything could take place.

September (again, picture below) was topped with the cream of pie at our Old Fashioned Picnic. I had to give over my title as pie eater, unfortunately (maybe fortunately), to those who could chomp and swallow a piece of pie in less than ten seconds.

October held the Reformation party (sorry, no photo), an event attended by those from both far and wide. This year's theme was "John Calvin" (a part played by my dad, Steve Walker) and took place for the third year at the Fletcher's home. The event, worked on heartily by many, had only a small amount of its attendees as time-travelers from the future. (Everyone else dressed in period costumes)

November will hold, God willing, (notice future tense) some important events, such as our vacation to Hawaii (I will keep a blog update of when we are there to keep you updated). But that is unknown by me so I will post what I do know. For most of the beginning of the month, my evenings were filled with tweaking my video editing production which is our Christmas gift to our extended family. I've done my schoolwork, painted parts of the outside of our house, worked on the yard (pruning, mowing, raking) and our family has worked seemingly continually on the Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt. We have actually gotten to the secret website and are logged on. My Mom headed the team of clue- searchers and both my parents have been a great help to the furtherance of the mission.   

I'm looking forward to the next few weeks, but only God knows what the future will hold, so I cannot tell you what will happen the rest of the year.  However, like Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" God bless, and Happy Thanksgiving.
