Hello, hello! We had a really nice vacation. I had so much fun.
 On Friday, we went to the last day of VBS. The night went well and the boys had allot of fun. Dad left right away and Josiah, mom and i ordered pizza and rented The Godfather (which by the way is up on my top 10 fav list. its a little boring in some parts but other wise very interesting and enjoyable).  We ended up going to bed around 1 o'clock.  we got up at 6:30, packed, and drove to the city. Josiah did all the driving the whole weekend and had allot of fun while doing so. We ate junk food and drank soda and listen to music the whole 3 hours there.
 When we reached my Uncle's (he just got a new apartment and invited us to stay with him).  We walked in, dumped our stuff in tiny, tiny apartment (which was pretty cute all in all) and drove to the beach! We hung out there for a couple of hours and had SO much fun. Around 2:30 we packed everything up and went to the van, just to find out that the keys were looked inside! Josiah had left them in his shorts pocket which was put into the van! So my uncle went and asked some guy to take him to his apartment so he could get moms spare keys. So all in all we were only delayed about 30 minutes. So we went back to the apartment, took showers, and got ready to go out. We went to Park Slope to meet up with my uncle Joe (the one who was married in DC) and Mrs. Christy. We were going to have dinner with them at a nice little pizza place called Mrs. Susan’s.  It rained torrentially for an hour and we sat in the restaurant and waited 2 hours til my uncle came (they got stuck in the subway for a while).  We enjoyed a nice meal (that lasted about 4 hours) then we went back to my uncle’s apartment set up some beds and slept soundly.
 The next day, Sunday, we got up, packed the car, and went to the diner for Breakfast. We then took the Long Island Ferry to Manhattan. We then stood online for the Ellis Island Ferry, and after 1 1/2 hours of standing on line and going through security, we made it onto the boat. about an hour later we got to the Island (the ferry made a stop at Liberty Island and all those interested could get off and all those who were finished could get back on to the ferry to go to the island). We walked around the museum for a while. I really wasn’t impressed with it, too much space not allot of stuff. When we were getting ready to leave we went out to the ferry and stood on line. We were almost on the ferry when it started to POUR!!! The ferry was full, so we had to go wait inside for the next one. Needless to say, we made it back to Manhattan. We walked around for a while, saw the first park in NY, feed pigeons off Josiah's shoes, and walked around the cool sellers. I bought Josiah an airbrushed tattoo and myself a cool picture of the NY sky line with the Twin Towers Memorial Lights. We then got back onto the ferry and made it home in good time.
 That NIGHT, we went out to Wal-Mart and bought my dad his Birthday/ Christmas/ Anniversary/ any other holiday gift. A 37 in LCD flat screen TV with appropriate surround sound, sound system! It’s awesome!

 I think that’s it of my weekend. So here are plenty of pics for you all to enjoy:

Josiah and me swimming! We had so much fun

This is Sylvia. She is a sand person. I like her. She is my Friend.

My now all time favorite picture of me and Josiah! You can see the gorgeous ring he gave me on my finger. It has 3 larger dimonds in the middle and 3 tiny dimonds on either side . It is white gold. He call it my Friendship ring.

Another pic of me and Josiah on the Long Island ferry

A nice pic of me and mom

The sign for the ferry.

A nice picture OF the ferry.

This is the entrance into Ellis Island.

And Ellis Island from the out side.

The Statue of Liberty! She was a cool thing to see! I think thats all for now.

Greetings and Salutations!
 I has been long! Life is good around here.  I started working on my 50's dress! I bought the pattern off estsy.com for like $5. It is pretty involved but i think the out come will be awesome. I will take pics as i go along so here is the first installment:
I am making the dress on the left. this is the fabric i am using.
And here it is being cut out. The dress in the end will be beautiful.

 So, nothing much is going on around here. We had a storm last night. Rain and hail and lightning! Around 8 o'clock (last night) we heard this great crack! we ran  and look out the window in time to see a  part of a tree fall down in our neighbors yard. It was huge and it fell on the electric wire. All the houses to the right of us lost power. We thankfully still have it. We were glad no one was hurt and nothing was really damaged.
This summer (as i am sure i have told you) i am planning on doing allot of reading. Here the list i have compiled so far of titles that i have gotten out of the library:

• Stories and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe- Awesomely creepy!
• 13 Little Blue Envelopes-great so far!
• I capture the castle
• A tree grows in Brooklyn-great so far
• Animal Farms
• The best fiction of Rudyard Kipling

Hello! Long time no post! the last time i posted was in May and here it is June! I cant believe the year is half way over!
 LOST is over for the year. I LOVE the season finally. I loved the ending and cant wait fir the next season. I was So glad Sawyer didnt die. He actually did something heroic. Clarie showing up in Kates dream. Weird! I think that she is dead, which saddens me cus i liked her. I thought it was interesting that she was not on the helicopter like Charlie for saw in his vision. Anyway, Ben is dead! Wow! How did he get of the island? how did he get off the island?? Also, Sun working for Widmore. Is she turning to the dark side or is she going to double cross him???? Next season will be good.
 We finished school last Friday, but i started back up again on Monday. I am doing Math, French, and history reading which adds up around to 2 and a half hours of school each day. Not that bad. I am looking forward to the summer though. I LOVE summer. I wish we had a pool, but we dont. We were going to get one this year but our yard cant hold it because of where the septic is. Mom might buy a little pool for the boys. I am hoping to find some place to go swimming around her. We have a local pool but, not for nothing, it is NASTY! It turns an interesting shade of green by July, so i will not swim in it. There might be some lakes around here but i dont know where. Promise land state park is cool but is 45 minutes away. It is a big lake, it has a beach but you can also swim in other parts without life guards.

 I have been working on a list of books to read this summer, so far i have read one. i am i the middle of an awesome book called A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I love it! It is so hard to find good books now a days. All the new books that come out are filled with boys or peer pressure or stupid "i am woman hear me roar" nonsense. So i have resolved my self to reading the classics. Once i finish my goal book list i will post it.
 To finish off, i will post my all time, absolute favorite poem ever: The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
