I'm Back!

Wow! I have not posted in FOR EVER AND EVER!!! I have been out of town, had family visiting and after all of that got REALLY sick. This is the first day I am feeling better so I an happy to be back to my old blogging self :o) My camera is also not working so I cannot post any of my exciting pictures unfortunately. I am trying to get that fixed as soon as possible!

Books!

I am currently reading An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott. I hope I spelled that right! IT is a FABULOUS book. Thanks Anna Naomi! Call me a weirdo, but I cannot read more than 1 book at a time. I get to interested in the 1rst one I am reading and then I can't keep up with the 2nd one! I don't know what it is but I just can't. I am a great reader and can read pretty fast too so I finish my books pretty quickly. I went to public school up until the 3rd grade. In kindergarten I was reading at 3rd grade level. Reading is probably one of my most FAVORITE things to do! I have so many good books to read, I will keep posting them so you can see what I am reading!

Grandma Time!

Gram came up for a visit a few days ago and let me tell you what, IT HAS BEEN A BLAST! She is such a funny person and so energetic. She has been helping my Mom out with the new magazine that my parents recently purchased so it has been a busy couple of days. First, my Gram went out and took my Mom's car. She went to a plaza and when she was finished she came back to the car and tried to start it but she couldn't get the keys to work!!! She tried and tried but it wouldn't budge. She thought of using a pay phone but she remembered that she had given ALL of her change to my little sister for her jar. So can you guess what she did? She WALKED ALL THE WAY HOME!!! It isn't that far but it is a pretty long walk. :P She came in the front door and I just stared at her because she looked like someone had just run over her with a truck, and she was SO red I thought she might pass out. I said, WHAT HAPPENED???!!!! She pointed out the window and I saw that there was NO car in the driveway! WHOOPSIE! Poor Gram. I will tell you she is fine and recovered. Another funny story, She slept in my sister's room which is downstairs and my sister's dwarf hamster lives in her room. My Grandma HATES rodents of any kind. Even if it is a cute tiny little dwarf hamster. She can barely even look at them. So we decided for her sake to move the hamster out of the room so she wouldn't be too uncomfortable.
We forgot to put the hamster out of Kate's reach so I bet you can guess what happened next. Kate got the hamster cage door open and brought the little present right to Gram to show her what she got! She plopped him down right on Gram's lap and Gram SCREAMED!!! Her arms in the air and then she froze with eyes as big as..... Oreo cookies. Rachel quickly scooped "Gus" up and put him back in the cage out of Kate's reach. I walked quickly out of the room so I wouldn't show my smile. I couldn't help it at all. It was the funniest sight I think I have ever seen. Poor Gram. She has recovered from that incident as well.

And no, we do not try to kill her every time she comes for a visit. :o)

I can't wait to blog about her next visit!
