A true story (sort of)

Once upon a time Harold got a BB gun for Christmas. Harold was a little boy. Well, not exactly little; more like ten, eleven or twelve. He had dark hair; loved to get into micheif and loved horse and buggy toys and army men. He loved having stitches most of all!When he went on vacation he went to his aunt’s house in the UP of Michigan near Mana something. He would take a train and went over the Mackinaw Bridge. He went with his Ma.

One day he had a pocket knife and found a big fallen down tree stump which was tall. He whittled a target and practiced his aim. He did very good. He missed–out of 20 shots–two times! He hit the bulls-eye the rest of the time!

He brought his BB gun to his aunt’s house. She did not like noise, so she did not like guns because they are loud. Well, she did not like guns, so he hid it in the two Holder outhouse. He hid on the shelf in the outhouse under some bottles and thing a ma jigs.

His aunt found it later on and threw it down one of the holes. It was a very deeeeeeeeepeee hole. He was very sad. He liked his BB gun lots. It was his favorite present. He had heard a splash and she scolded him for bringing it.

He played with his pocketknife the rest of the summer which is very very quiet…

The true story is, that one day Grampa put his BB gun in a out house. When His aunt found it, she threw it down the hole. I expanded the story because there wasn’t enough!

Can you tell me some of your silly stories?

First Birthday in Heaven

Today is Great Grandma’s first birthday in Heaven.

She was trying to teach me a poem called The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Click here to read the rest of the poem. Not there, here! Here is the part she was teaching me!

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

I have not learned it yet, because it is a very very very long poem.

Great Grandma, Mark, Andrea, Audrey and Adrian This picture was Andrea’s 5th birthday. It was a Friday, we are going to dance. We would go and have lunch with Great Grandma. She would give us her dessert. Our favorite was Cherry Pie! We had fun!

Andrea said that for her birthday, Great Grandma is picking Golden flowers!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!

Lost!

This is written by Andrea, age 6!

It’s gone!  Look!Today at 5:30 p.m. my daddy pulled my tooth out! When Daddy came home, he pulled out my tooth. It hurt a little bit. I not even cried. Daddy say it bleeding a little bit.

My tooth is for the tooth fairy. I don’t know who the tooth fairy is.Lost!

If you have two lost teeth at the same time, you get two half quarters? I don’t know. I want to know. Mommy said she never lost two teeth at the same time so “I don’t know, you should ask Daddy.” Daddy said “I don’t know”.

I’m glad Daddy pulled my tooth. I waited a long time. I can’t believe my tooth is pulled out!

Today we swim in the swimming pool too.
