Saturday the 17th

Hi again.

Today I am listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is one of my favorite shows.

My day will be a lot of reading, writing, and listening to NPR. I would love to grow up and become a radio show host. It would be lots of fun to talk to people all over the United States and maybe the world! The gadgets would also be a lot of fun to use.

My second blog for 10/06/2015

 Here is one of my essays for school that I had to write on one of my first concerts. This is in an essay writing program for Time4Writing.



 It was finally my seventh birthday. I was sitting in my house that was all decorated with brightly colored balloons and streamers waiting for the guests to arrive. Then all of a sudden Mary, Kara, and Stella rang the doorbell. I hopped up to greet them. Behind them was Noonie, Papa, Althea, Lucy, and many other friends and family.

 All of us were huddled in the kitchen hugging and saying hi to one another. Then, children's musicians, Chuck and Mud arrived. We all started walking into the living room to help Chuck and Mud set up their make shift stage.

 When Chuck and Mud were ready, mom said that the concert was about to begin. The music started to play.  The floor was shaking as though a stampede of elephants  was going through the living room. All of us were singing! It was like magic because I've never heard everyone sing together. I was surrounded by friends, it was a dream come true.

 Next, all of us got to try out Chuck and Mud's instruments. I thought that for my first time touching a banjo, I was pretty good. So was everyone else. After, my mom passed out slices if the cake I'd made with Noonie the day before. All of my friends had chocolate cake crumbs on their smiling faces.

 My least favorite part was watching my friends leave the party. There went Althea, Noonie, Papa, and Lucy. I felt alone and I didn't want the party to end. Watching Stella, Mary, and Kara leave was hard, Stella was my best friend ever. I wanted the party to go forever.

Today, I am going to the library and then I will do some writing. That does not include math, science, spelling, handwriting, and reading. We will also go up to the mountain and try to sell my ski stuff. Today will be a lot of fun! I can't wait to ride horses again on Friday. Sorry, I started riding English, so there will not be any pictures of my favorite horse, Gypsy.

Over & Out,
