surprise

Surprise Hannah. I am posting without a reminder. :)

You know, I don't really have anything noteworthy to write. Perhaps I'll just ramble and see if anything interesting pops out.

Let's see-it's the last week in October. That is just craziness. I am anticipating cool season so much I can almost taste it. Do you think that cool season can have a taste?

I got to square dance on Saturday night. Big deal-dancing here and all. I guess it was like riding a bike. Remember when square dancing was a big deal in 5th/6th grade?Mrs. Elliott would have been proud of my promenading put perhaps not the do-si-do (sp?) My partner and I kept going left first instead of right.

I have been staying at a friends' home the past week or so. My walk here sounds something like a route a back alley spy would take-go out the gate down the dirt road, around the round point and avoid all the crazy kids at the school on the "corner." Then take the dirt road and avoid the cars, take a quick right and then a left through the bricks. Watch out for the rams butting horns (happened on Saturday). Walk up the dirt gravel hill, behind the generator of an apt building, and through a sandy path. Then I'm here.

I am almost done with the Left Behind Series-all 12 books. I started around August 6th. I told the librarian I deserve a sticker. hehehe ;)

Well, I hope there was something interesting in all those ramblings.
Over and out.

just following orders

My sister told me I had to update my blog. When I asked her for a topic, she said to write about my favorite things. What a great idea Hannah. I wanted to include things that may not be well known, even to my family.

First off Hannah, I love listening to you laugh. You have the cutest laugh so we need to talk on the phone more. :)

I love the feel of the first cool breeze, when the weather is starting to turn from hot to cold. I also love the opposite in the springtime. You know, when it feels like everything is coming alive again.

I love ice-cream sprinkles. I don't know exactly why. Perhaps it's the color and the small amount of crunch they add to ice cream.

I enjoy getting lost in a good book, when the characters and setting become real.

Learning something new, especially in math, makes me excited. I enjoy getting to tell my students about new discoveries.

The sound of the ocean; the sense of standing at the edge, looking out to the horizon, and knowing that only God could have created something as majestic as that. It always brings a smile to my face.

Thanks for being an amazing sis Hannah and bringing a smile to my face tonight.
