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.

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.

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,

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.

A very fun day

This is the trip to American Village I said I would write about.



Erin demonstrating one of the ways to punish someone.



Sarah standing on her toes. It would be hard to stay that way for very long.




The landscape was beautiful and later I will post more photos of just that.



This is what they would do to you if you stole or anything like that, they would put you in one of those things for 5 hours with your ears nailed to the board and a T was branded or your cheek for every one to know you are a thief.



Sarah in the church we went in. It was very neat.
I would not have wanted to be one of the people that had to sit way back in the little hidden places were you could not see.



It you've ever watched National Treasure you must know that this desk is very exciting. We all got down on our backs and checked for secret drawers(there were not any☹).



We all went out of the "Lexington bridge" it was very pretty!

Well be,

Happy birthday George!

Monday we went to American village to celebrate George Washington's birthday.
When Michael heard about going, the day before, he got very excited and ran up stairs saying "I going to make George a card".



When we go to the village the next day, Michael began to look around and after a few minute asked Mommy where the monkeys were. Mommy at once realized that Michael thought we were coming to see Curious George's birthday.



But Michael was only disappointed for a minute, then he got very excited about all the things there were to see.
And finally, at the end of the day we got to see George Washington!!
Michael was very excited about his card again and went over and gave it to him.

Well bye,

P. S.
I'll put photos of our trip up soon.

Soccer!!

I love playing soccer! If there is a soccer game going on I am very unhappy unless I can be involved. The first time I played soccer, I was probably nine and the whole game I just stood there and giggled.
Now, however, there are very few things I like better then playing soccer!! Especially with a lot of people.

Well bye,

I love Bunnies!

This is the sweet little bunny I adopted, but unfortunately, I do not own it.

It was so sweet. I held it the whole time we were filming at our friend's house (they own it).

Well bye,

My Guitar With No Name

I love my guitar, and I found out that I do like strumming a little, but not as much as picking. It's more fun if you sing while you strum and I can't sing, but other than that it is a lot of fun and and like to play "There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood" I get to use my capo on it.

Well Bye,
®achel™

P.S.
I need a name for my guitar (I like for all my things to have names) any suggestions?

I love flowers!

My beautiful flowers!
I can't wait for spring! All the flowers around our house will start to bloom, and I can plant the seeds I got for Christmas.
These photos are of the flowers I grow last year (and I hope to grow again this year.)
Well I hope you like the photos of another thing that I love. (I really love all the bright colors!)

Well Bye,

My Sweet Little Puppy!

This is my sweet little puppy when we had snow for so long (a week).

He did not want to have he picture taken.

He would not look then...he had to have more treats then...he left.

Isn't he cute!

Well bye,
®achel

P.S.For the mouth of February I am going to post photos of something I love every Monday and Friday.
