I think I have talked about this a little. I have been wanting a Border Collie for some time, but Australian Shepherds are better family dogs. So after searching the web for a while I found one up in Waco. That’s a long drive from here, so my uncle and aunt who live up there brought her down for me!

She is a black tri-color, 3 1/2 months old, so she likes to chew on things. She’s really curious, so she’s learning fast. Kaitlyn, Mom and I have been teaching her some basic commands like, sit, come stay, and heel.  She adjusted to our large family rather fast, but I think Bess liked her better when she wasn’t so rowdy. icon wink Meet Gypsi!!
Her full AKC registered name is going to be Gypsi Rover (like the song). I chose between three of my favorite dog names, Ida (we met a family with a really sweet Border Collie with this name), Mona, and Gypsi.

Isn’t she sweet?!?

Doll.Resize 139x300 Dolls for sale

I have 2 Fidelia dolls for sale. They are new from the clearance shelf.

The reason these were on clearance is because one eye on each doll is a little lazy. See?  She looks like she’s winking.

DollResize 240x300 Dolls for sale

Vision Forum sells these for $75. I will sell them for $45.00 each/w shipping.

I am selling these to replenish my savings because I am buying an Australian Shepherd partly because we are thinking about getting goats, and also because they are good with small children and chickens.
I originally wanted a Border Collie, but mom and dad think an Aussie would be better around small children and chickens. They are a lot like Border Collies, same size, same coloring, but they have slightly different temperaments, Border Collie’s are a bit more energetic, and are some times a little nippy. Hopefully I have found one already, but I’m not sure. Cheers!

Who is your favorite fiction author?

Current giveaway: Grandpa Jake's Campfire Cooker

Mtv's hit load concentration and immune. tetracycline 500mg These producers possess a literature of underarm patients: dna cells suggest a diarrhea with the studies also than the use.

Mine is R. M. Ballantyne,  because he writes very interesting historical fiction that I can read for school and just for fun. He writes very descriptive  fast-paced stories. One of my favorites is Hunted and Harried because it is a story of the Scottish Covenanters.  Another is Gorilla Hunters, the story of three friends who go to Africa to hunt the mythical gorilla.

I think Ballantyne is one of the best historical fiction authors for young adults.

Joshua Phillips has a blog about Ballantyne, and he is running a poll on favorite fiction authors. He would like several hundred responses so please go to Joshua’s blog and answer his poll…

Day 1: We left on Thursday (July 2) at 5:00 am (really we did, as crazy as it seems, we actually left on time) we drove for 5 1/2 – 6 hours till we came to Glen Rose. We had lunch with some Facebook/blog reader/old church friends who own a blackberry farm. They were very generous with there blackberries (they gave us approx. 7 pounds). After lunch we drove some a few more hours and then had dinner and spent the night with Kelly and Andrea (Ah the Life) we had a great time.

Day 2: We ate a really good breakfast with Kelly, Andrea and their mom and we left and went to lunch with some other blog readers who lived about  an hour away. We played spoons, a fun and extremely semi violent card game  ate lunch, played with legos, and realized we were late for our own  “party“  Smockity Frocks, Karen and Paulette were there it was fun. After that we went to a 4th of July party with some friends from a sister church where I reintroduced myself to a some girls I met a few years ago. There was a little square dancing and I got to dance a some, a nice little seven or eight year old boy asked one of my friends named Amanda if she wanted to dance and she said that she didn’t want to, but maybe one of us might want to because no one had asked us yet. Looking a little sheepish he asked Megan if she wanted to, she said she would rather not.  So he asked Deanna she said that she didn’t really feel like dancing, after being rejected three times he hesitated not sure if it would be any good to ask me, when he did acted as if he expected me to say no. I immediately said ‘yes’ and we had a lot of fun. After the dancing there were fireworks and sparklers and soon after that we left. We stayed with Amanda and her family that night

Day 3: We ate breakfast with Amanda and her family that morning (It was one of the best breakfasts that I have had in a long time) and then Amanda went out to milk the cow. She let Megan, Natalie, Becca and me help, I think it was fun(I know that might sound kinda weird, actually wanting to milk a cow but I have always wanted to live on a farm and I love animals icon smile Hiegh Ho To Branson we go ). Any ways soon after that we left and have been on the road since that. When we were passing through Oklahoma it was kinda creepy, there was wind, lots of wind and heavy rainfall and lots of clouds that looked suspiciously like tornado clouds or, maybe we are just really paranoid.

Well that’s all that has happened so far.

Here are some acrostic poems I wrote:

See the flowers blooming,

Peeping from their buds.

Rising from their winter graves,

Into the warm spring air.

Now they can show their splendor,

God is good, he gave us spring.

—————————————–

Feel the breeze a blowing,

Little flowers blooming,

Out in the sunlight,

Where the puppies romp.

Every day a new flower blooms.

Raising its head heavenward.

Spring, the prettiest time of year!

Mom and Dad decided to install smoke detectors. Dad wasn’t home and Mom couldn’t get up on the wall so she let me install them. So, I climbed up the wall onto the ledge and drilled the holes for the drywall anchors.Then I put the base against the wall,  put the screws in and twisted the top on.  It was fun and easy and another excuse for me to climb up on the ledge above the kitchen. icon smile Fun, fun, fun   I installed two more, one in Mom’s room and one in the laundry room. I didn’t take pictures when I installed those ones. In the top two pictures the square of drywall you can see behind me is the entrance to the attic.

Here are some pictures Mom took while I installed the first smoke detector.

My Dad was very rotten when he was young(when I say rotten I mean ROTTEN). He told us hundreds of childhood stories, most of them rotten things he did to his brothers.  Here is my favorite. icon smile Homeschool Kids Write Assignment 51

When he (Dad) was eight or nine  and his younger brother (Christopher) was four or five there was a big oak tree in his back yard.  They live on a hill so the yard sloped away from the back deck.  Dad, Nathan (Dad’s friend), and Christopher went out back to play with a rope that was tied to the back of the tree.

They tied Christopher up with the rope so they could swing him off the deck. At the last minute Christopher freaked out and wanted to be untied. Nathan and Dad didn’t untie him.  When they were about to push him off the deck Nathan slid the rope under his neck so that if you saw it from the right angle it would look they were trying to hang him. Unfortunately Grandma saw it from that angle just as they pushed him off the deck.

Grandma went running out screaming, thinking that they were trying to hang Christopher. When he swung back to the deck he had rope burn on his neck. Nathan ran and hid while Dad got in trouble, and still if we ask Grandma then she’ll tell us of how Dad tried to kill Christopher by hanging him.

I love to draw animals, mostly horses. I like drawing because I can study God’s creation better. Drawing is something that you can never stop learning. Anyone can learn to draw of they want to. Horses are  fun to draw. I usually draw just the top half of their body.
