I'm leaving again...

Going to VBS in Illinois.  I may or may not be able to blog.  We'll see.  It's going to be so much fun!

It's Good to be Home

Boy, did the car ride seem extra-long, but it's good to be back in the city.

And grandma came with us!  We have a dog now (kinda; her dog, Bubbles came too).

Mall

Today we went to the mall in Springfield because it was rainy (originally we had planned to go swimming).  My dad got new shoes and we ate Chinese food for lunch and had smoothies and rode the old carousel and everyone was happy.  Yay.

Papa is in heaven now

So that's why yesterday I said I was surrounded by flowers and the TV show wasn't really that annoying, I will admit. 

But I'm glad.  I think that it was his time and I'm glad that he doesn't have to be here anymore.  No more cancer and no more hurt.

Ahh, I can't wait.

(PS daddy you did a really good job on your speech.  It made me cry.)

Since I left...

I've been gone for awhile, haven't I?

So...

I went to a bible camp from Sunday the 12th to Friday the 17th.  Everyday we would:

7:00-wake up (& get dressed etc.)
8:00-quiet time(read bibles and respond)
8:45-breakfast
9:30-chapel with Aunt Sue
11:30-activities (I did boating)
12:45-lunch (really good food!)
1:30-swimming
3:00-recreation time (boating, craft, mini-golf, snack)
4:00-free time in cabins
5:45-dinner
6:30-chapel
9:00-prepare for bed
10:30-official lights out

It sure was fun, but phew was it exhausting! 

For boating you could either go in a paddle-boat, a row-boat, a canoe, or a kayak.  The kayaks were my favorite!  They were a little tippy though, and I did fall in.  But it felt good!  Except for the bottom of the lake was like up to your ankles in lake slime.  Y-U-C-K-Y spells yucky.

The food was also really good.  Not as good as like thanksgiving food, but pretty good.

For free time I mostly did boating but I also had snack and went mini-golfing.

••○••


So, right when I got home from camp I litterally ate lunch, used the bathroom, grabbed a book to read and went out the door to go to Illinois. 

Now I sit in my grandma's living room listening to this annoying TV show my cousins are watching typing on my blog surrounded by lots of flowers from the funeral.

And don't worry, I'm taking blankie with me.

Considering a New Blog

Not replacing this one, just in addition to.

Maybe something like a song of the day.

Just thinking.

Comments?

Summer

I just love summer. 

I'm so glad it's summer.

Summer is the best.

That's all I have to say.

Last Day of School!

Today was [finally] our last day of school!

We [us; our school] had a big picnic in Valley Grove Park today!  [Sorry, I always make these pseudonyms and then I try to remember them and then I get all stressed out because it's probably not the same every time.  On the flip side, you all probably know what I'm talking about anyway.]  It was very fun.

Mr. Teacher allowed us to wear our T-Shirts that we made with Mrs. W!  That was nice that we didn't have to wear uniform on the last day. 

So we played around on the playground and with balls and whatnot, then had to play silly games. 

For lunch I had carrots, quesodilla, almonds, grapes, oreos, and the end-of-the-school-year-cookie-that-you-usually-receive-from-your-teacher. 

After some kids had been dismissed, their parents were just handing around and they decided to drench all of the teachers with freezing water.  It was so funny!  After Dorothy got Mr. Teacher, Mr. Teacher mumbles:  they are in so much trouble next year.

It's been a good day so far.  I am so tired though. 

Something that makes me want a Facebook account [so I could post this on the JOY FM Facebook page] just for this:

There is this christian radio station that I always listen to, and when I go up to my room I always turn it on.  I turn it on:

Ooo, I love the way you hold me
By your side I'll always be
Ya take each and every day
Make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me
In your arms I'll always be
Oh I love the way you hold me

It just reminded me that no matter how annoying sisters are or how long the day has been, He is always holding me and He's never letting go. 

I needed that.

P.S.  The radio station is 99.1 in St. Louis.
