Day 17: An art piece.

Well I think that as far as really amazing gos I like all of John Trumbull's works best.
But I think that Breezy Tulip's woks are my favorites just because they are so cut and bright.
So those are what I like.

Well bye,

Day 15: A person you admire.

Well that would definitely be Daddy!!
I admire his willingness to get things done. He is always ready to work and work hard.
But I also admire his fun side and all the fun things he does with me and all of my family.
Well, that's the person I admire.

Well, bye!!!

Day 14: A vacation you would like to take.

Oh, I could go anywhere that is pretty.
I like the beach.
I like to go to the Smoky Mountains.
I would like to go to New Zealand.
I do not want to go to a desert, to much dirt.
I would like to go to a place were there are a lot of flowers.
and I would like to go the a place were I could ride horses.

Well bye,
®achel™

P.S. I would like to go to the Shire,
the one out of Lord of the Rings,
but I don't think that's going to happen.

Day 16: A song that makes you cry.

Well I don't really have a song that makes me cry. The only time I ever remember crying though something like that was when I first heard the "Man From Snowy River" sound-track, but if I think of anything else I will tell you.

Well bye,

Day 13: A guilty pleasure.

Well I don't really have any guilty pleasures (I don't usually fell very guilty)! But it I had to think of one, it would most likely be watching movies. I love movies especially long ones! But I always think to myself, while I'm watching a movie, that I could be doing something else that is a better use of my time, and I usually don't listen to myself.

Well I guess that is my guilty pleasure.

Day 12: A song that you want played at your wedding(or was played).

I don't really have a song that I want played, I think I like music better at weddings.
I think I would want something like spring by Vivaldi,
but I'm not really sure I've never really thought about it.

Well that's all I have to say, bye,
®achel™


P.S. The picture is just because I like pictures on blogs.

Day 11: A photo of you taken recently.

This is a photo that Jess took of me on New Years Eve so it's fairly recent.

Well bye,

Day 10 A photo of you taken over ten years ago.

This is me when I was five, ten years ago.

Day 9: A photo you took.

I took this photo on New Years Eve when we had our friends over.
Michael and Mallie are so cute and sweet.

Well bye,

Day 8: A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life.

I'm not going to do this one. If I wrote a thank you letter to some one, I would not want just any one reading it, so instead I am going to post the last of the photos from when we went to
"American village."

Ryan was very proud of his new seat,

more crime and punishment



Daddy and James Armistead



It was a VERY windy day.




I think the bridge was so pretty.

Well bye,

Day 7: Five things you couldn't possibly live without.

Well... lets me see,

Flowers

Colors

Friends (and not just these)

My family

and open fields to run in.

Well bye

Day 6: A moment you wish you could relive.

Well I think there are a lot of Moments that I would like to relive, but I think one that I would like to relive the most is driving up at Dada's (my granddad) beach house at night and smelling the beach, or waking up at the beach house the next morning and seeing all the sand and getting to make the first foot prints in the sand.

Well that is one of the many many memories that I would like to relive.

Day 5: A favorite quote.

Well I could find a really good quote with a lot of meaning but... I'm just going to do one that I think really applies to me and one that I have always liked, so here it is!

You set your heart too much on things, Anne," said Marilla with a sigh. "I'm afraid there'll be a great many disappointments in store for you through life." "Oh Marilla, looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them," exclaimed Anne. "you mayn't get the things themselves; but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them. Mrs Lynde says 'Blessed are they who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed.' But I think it would be worse to expect nothing than to be disappointed."



Well there's my quote, nothing great, but makes a lot sense to me.

Well Bye,

Day 4: A favorite television program.

Well we don't watch TV so I don't know any new TV programs but I do like
"The Andy Griffith Show"
and
Some of the BBC Jane Austen type things.
If those count.

Sorry if that was not a very good answer but that's all I have to say.

Well Bye,

Happy birthday Michael!

God made a world out of his dreams.
Of wondrous mountains, oceans, and and streams,
Prairies and plains and wooded land,
Then paused and thought,
"I need some one to stand on top of the mountains,
to conquer the seas,
Explore the plains and climb the trees,
Someone to start out small and grow,
Sturdy like tree" and so...
He created boys full of spirit and fun,
To explore and conquer, to romp and run,
With dirty faces, and banged up chins,
With courageous hearts and boyish grins.
When He'd completed the task He'd begun He surely said,
"That's a job well done."

Happy Birthday Michael!!
Love Rachel

P.S.
I don't know who wrote that poem.

Day 3: A favorite book.

Well there are so many good books out there that I just can't pick my favorite. All most every time I read a knew book I say after I've finished "Well that was just the best book ever" You can see how a person that thinks all books are the "best book ever" could have a hard time picking a favorite. But I must say as far as standing the test of time goes, I think that the best were...

1#All the Chronicles of Narnia
2#Anne of Green Gables

But there are many, many more that I like soooo much too.

So, I think that sums that up.

Well bye

Day 2: A favorite movie.

I've told people many times that it depends on what I'm in the mood for....
However, I think some of my favorites are:
"Anne of Green Gables".
The Disney "Narnia" movies (at least the two that I've seen).
"Cranford",
All the Lord of the Rings movies.
And The new "Emma".
There are others, but I think those are my favorites.

Well bye,
®achel™

Day 1: A favorite song.

My favorite song is probably "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley.
Sorry, I don't have a cool music video of it, but it is at the top of my playlist, and when I get older and get a cell phone I might use it as my ring-tone.
Well that was petty easy, bye.
