Hey there!

Hey there everyone, staying busy over here, lol!  I am in the last days of homeschooling before summer break, woo hoo!  Piano lessons have been going well so far, practicing like crazy for an upcoming recital.  I am going to playing a piece called "Fish Scales" and I think I have it down pretty well.  My sister (age 10) and I will also be playing a duet too, but I've been having trouble with it some, so....practice, practice, and more practice. 

My weekend was real fun, we went to a Strawberry Festival here in town.  It was kind of hot so we all got some lemonade   and then I got myself some cheesey fries....yummy!  We ran into a friend of ours and chatted for awhile, then we stayed to eat and watch some clog dancing (like Irish step dancing).  It was pretty good.  Time went by really fast and, before we knew it, we had to get on home and get ready for a ladies' banquet at a church.  There were food, games, a skit, a devotion, and they also gave out prizes too.  I won a prize because my number was drawn, lol, I won some nice bracelets and also got some candy.  But I had to give away some of the candy to my siblings, the candy with nuts in it....I have braces on my teeth and nuts would break them (and I don't care to get my teeth hammered on again, ouch).  On Monday night, we went a church's revival services and then went out to eat with the pastor of the church...he's friends with my dad who is also a pastor.  His grandchildren and wife had come too.  His grandaughter was near my sisters' age so we had a fun time chatting about books, school, favorite movies, and favorite movie characters.  Oh, I had a chef salad and a Dr, Pepper for my meal, I could barely finish it but it was good . We got done there late so we were late getting home too.  But....we had fun!

Things will be kind of slow this week, although my sister(12) will be having a guitar recital...she plays really good!  Things will pick up next week as we finish school and get ready for my big brother's homeschool graduation.  He and I also have an orthodontist appointment too...ugh!  He is lucky though, he only has a retainer he wears at bedtime but I have braces on both my top and bottom teeth.  Sigh!  I will be so glad when I am done with them, I miss eating popcorn!
