Love.

Dec 21, 1993

Tonight I am spending the night at Jennifers.  (Note: hurrah! I finally learned how to correctly spell her name...until now it had always been "Jenefer."  But, alas - no apostrophe.)  Tom, Jennifer, and Betsy came to spend the evning with us.  So, when it was time to go they took me home with them. 

Dec 22, 1993

This morning we watched Anne of Aavenly (Note: In my entry, I made a very fancy swirl under the title, as befitting such an excellent book/film.)  It was good.  And made coffie-cake, and cookie dough.  Right now the cookie dough is freezing.  Jennifer and I are going to the grocery store now.  I really like staying with Jennifer.  

Only 3 more days untill Christmas! 

Jennifer, Adam, Holly, and me having fun in the kitchen on 2218 Del Monte at a much earlier date than this diary entry.  I am so thankful for the many loving memories I have of happy days spent with Aunt Jennifer.  

The Christmas Horse

December 19, 1993

On Friday was a party at school.  First we went and watched the Muppets Christmas Carol.  It was funny!  Then we went back to our rooms and played games and ate refreshments and opened preasents.  I gave mine to Beth and Sarah.  Mrs. A. gave a preasent to everyone and everyone practily gave a peasent (Ha!) to Mrs. A.  Mrs. A. gave me a book full of blank pages to write a story in!  I am writing one in it called
"The Wood Fairy."

December 20, 1993

Well, in my last letter I forgot to tell you alot of things.  On Thurs. I went on a field trip to see the Nutcracer ballet, it was nice!  To eat we went to the Alamo Cafa.  It was really fun!  The boys said to each other "Dare me to eat this much hot sause?"  Because the hot sause was really hot!  And on the night of Thurs. the school had a preformance.  
I was a horse.  

The Christmas Horse

And last night my choir at church had a preformance I sang a solo.  Yeasterday we had a reahersal and I really messed up on my solo.  So I went into the bathroom and cried.  But Ashlee Leaheart came and comforted me.  At the real thing last night when I did it perfectly, when I turned around Ashlee (on the risers) gave me a thums up signal!  

Note: Sadly, I do not think "The Wood Fairy" came to fruition.  Or at least lived to tell the tale.  The Ted, Fred, and Sarah sequel, however, was preserved...

Her and Me's

November 9, 1993

Hi!  Mr. MacRinnals got a foster kid! Not kidding!  His name is Jaun.  

December 5, 1993

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in an old mans hat.  If you haven't got a penny, a haf penny will do, haven't got a ha'penny, God bless you!  
HO HO HO!

On Fri, I went home with Amy because it was her B-day and she only invited me and Abree.  Abree is her and me's friend.  And it was a SLUMBER PARTY!  It was FUN!  But we didn't stay up all night like your suppose to at a slumber party, but "Who CARES?"  (Note: Exciting! I must have learned about quotation marks at school.)  And when I was at Jenifer's for the weekend.  I went over to Kate's.  Well bye.

Tragedy Strikes

October 17, 1993

Goldie is going to die.  Who is Goldie?  A goldfish I got yesterday at Brackenfest.  We put her in a glass jar with water, rocks, and a little plastic palm tree!  But this morning she was just lying at the bottom of her bowl.  She hadn't eat anything.  So, she is going to die.  But I won't flush her down the tolit!  I'm going to make her a matchbox coffin.  Her name isn't Goldie anymore.  I've renamed her My Little Golden Angel.  Because angels don't stay on earth very long. 

Very Sad,

Lee

I think the entire incident (getting the fish, taking it home, its death, burial, and my mourning period) all took place within 24 hours.  Has anyone ever in the history of the world received a goldfish in a plastic bag that actually survived to a ripe old fish age?  

Birthday Countdown!

In which I turn ten years old, and I also realize I need to change the name of this blog, since I would like to continue documenting past the third grade...

Ah, Mrs. Weed.  She was the sweetest white-haired lady who taught music and had a pet goat.  If that's not the plot of a children's book, I don't know what is.
