The Condition of the Roads

In the aftermath of T Bar M, the summer of 1995 seemed to be a quiet time for me.  I appear to be following Jane Austen-esque standards for the priority of conversation in my diary and discussing things such as the weather, books, and films.  Suitable topics for dialogue with Edward Ferrars:  

"The roads were very… dry."  

"Sigh. Looking at these little yellow flowers is so tiring, I need to lie down."

Amy came over on Sun. It was fun! (it rimes) Yeasterday I was kind of sick and I watched "Return of Jafar."  It's not as good as "Aladdin."  Today I'm feeling better.  

Theres not much to do, so bye. 

I feel like there was also a Disney TV show?

Hi! How are you? I've been doing good lately.  An occasunal stuffy nose, but otherwise, as fine as a blue band box.  (That just popped into my head.)  Amy came over on Sunday.  It was lots of fun!  Yeasterday we saw a movie called "The Indian in the Cuboard."  It was good.  I've read the book and 2 sequels there's 3, and I want to read the 3rd. 

A Blues Band Box?

I'm reading 2 books right now.  "Little Wemon" (again) and "Tom Sawyer" (for the first time).  right now I'm supposed to be cleaning my room, but I'm doing this instead.  (heh heh).  

I saw a really good movie.  Its called "The Jungle Book."  It's the movie.  Not the Disney cartoon.  

I'm not as enthusiastic about TJ as I was.  Well godda go!

Hi!  It's raining! It hasn't rained sence we went to Rockport - a mounth!  It's like, what is this stuff?! I think it's called rain!  Ise sos 'happy!  

I raised my window so I could hear it and smell it.  

I finished up "Little Weman" this morning.  Better than ever!  Today is the last day of July.  To me, summer has gone by fast!  Well, I must continue cleaning my room!  

PS. You're running out!  

I like how I spell it "Wemen" when the correct spelling is IN THE TITLE OF THE BOOK!

Hello!  Today I'm almost finally finished cleaning my room!

August 2, 1995

Hi! Today the Nelsons are going to Faimly Camp at T Bar M.  They're going to come by today before they go.  Yea!  I'm working on my splits and streatching out every morning and night before I go to bed.  If I do them both times I put a star on the day on my calender.  I'm doing it for the mounth of August, and maybe I'll be able to do the splits by then, but I'll keep on doing it anyway.  

Did you know that Adam is working at Schliterbon and is taking Drivers Ed?  Well, he is.  And for Drivers Ed you have to get something from school, I don't know what, but today we went up there to get it and 3 new people are coming to our class for 6th grade!  

SCHLITTERBAHN! (Ick.)

Three new people in sixth grade!  At a school that graduated senior classes typically around 15-20, gaining three new students in a single grade was truly an event for excitement and speculation.  

Also, I never got the splits.  Now that I am a (mostly) dedicated yogi, I have some optimism that perhaps I will finally achieve this goal in my 30th year.  

But also my legs just might not do that.
