Buddy

I stayed at my friend Korah's house the last two nights. Levi found an abandoned kitten in their old trailer. We fed him milk from an eye dropper and some soft food since he does have teeth. We think he is about a month old. He was meowing a lot at first since we kept in a box. But today we put him outdoors with the other cats, and he is not being as loud. My mom thinks he is cute, and said MAYBE IF he needs a home... we could take him! I hope so!

To make an apple pie you need to...

or buy them from a store

cut them into pieces

make your pie crust add cinnamon and sugar
roll out the top crust

visiting Alice

Yesterday Korah and I went to visit Alice. The old folks up there on the 3rd floor have brain loss so they're not allowed to even stand up. If they do get up, a loud annoying alarm goes off. Alice doesn't have a good memory but she did recognize us. She introduced us to her friend Margaret, another old person sitting in the rocker next to hers. Even though she doesn't know our names and she said we were her relatives. The other lady didn't believe her, Alice called her "doubting Thomas." :) Alice is a very sweet old lady, Korah has know her since like 1993. Her "neighbour lady" at the nursing home was really messed up and said that we didn't really know Alice. Maragret said she would call up Alice's kids Sal and Anthony and Frannie. And she said you don't even remember your own boys? Which this was all made up and made Alice even more confused, but Korah and I couldn't help laughing even though it wasn't really funny. But Alice didn't get upset she just said "well if it will make you feel better just go ahead and call them." Then Margeret kept saying over and over, "Of all the times I was at your house I never ever ever saw them." Then we sang some songs and another lady was singing along to "In my heart there rings a melody." Alice liked our singing and said to her neighbour Margeret "wasn't that a beautiful song" and she replied, "Of all the times I was at your house I never ever ever heard that song." Oh well, we had a good time visiting anyway.

my sisters

Bikes!

Finally my dad has a day off tomorrow and he is going to take my sister and I to bike new bikes! I haven't even owned a good bike since I was like 10 and the last time I actually had fun riding was summer 2007. Well we have nice roads around here so I can't wait to go on a nice long ride!

Rainy Day

It rained pretty hard most of the morning & early afternoon today.

another smoothie

Well I made it through another day on the fruit and vegetable diet. I've been on this diet since last monday. I can't eat beans and peas, they arén't vegetables. I've mostly been eating sweet potatoes, squash and eggplant. And a few salads. And a lot of carrots. And 2 banana-strawberry-blueberry smoothies 3 times a day, along with my 11 nutrient capsules at least 30 mintues before/after meals. I have just 3 more days until I'm done. Yippe! On friday I can start off my day with some fried eggs! I can't wait!!!!! Well right now I'm hungry for another smmothie. By the way, I do hate blueberries, unless they're mixed up with other things, I love blueberry yogurt!
