Florida


We saw alligators and sand dollars and starfish. The alligators were in a park so we were "safe"! :) We saw Grandpa Phares Rutt and Katie, and there big boat. It was a great experience! Dad said "This is a once in a lifetime thing, coming to Florida with our whole family." Well, I think he might change his mind!
Trevor, Dylan, and cousin Jacob loved catching lizards! Trevor let one bite his ear and he called it an "earring".  We ate "orange pie" that Grandma Katie made. It was delicious! We found a "sea slug" or "sea cucumber" or whateveryoucallit. It was greenish-brown and had no shape when you pick it up but when you put it down it turns into this slug thing. It was like carved jello. :) haha. We saw dolphins feeding! That was cool. (It made us feel safe 'cause then we knew there'd be no sharks, likely.) We went to Alabama!! You can practically live off the land there!! We got to pick and eat oranges right off the tree! What a great experience. We got to meet wonderful family! And I got 2 hats with my name on it. 1, a cap. 2, a winter hat. When we came home I got to try out the winter hat!!! Lots of snow at home. I like that, though.
We got to watch sunsets on the beach and collect shells and all sorts of things.

...now I wonder if that will be a 'once in a lifetime' trip for us...

My New Blog

I know. The title sounds scary. At least to me, it does. I've had this blog since November 5, 2016. THREE YEARS.  But after hours of trying to understand this website, I decided to try a different one.  wordpress.com  is a popular website to many of my fellow friends on Story Embers (a writing website). If so many people like it, then maybe I should give it a try. So three days ago I created an account on WordPress and made a whole new blog. It's also called Alabama, until I come up with a more creative name. 😝  So from now on I will be publishing posts on  alabamasblog.home.blog  which is now my current blog.  It's nice to start fresh, and so far it hasn't been as much of a headache like this one (besides learning how to locate things. But that's normal for something new).  So if you're still interested in the things I have to stay after all this... then please have fun following me on my new blog!  (Although I will give you a fair w...

I don't mean to complain, but....

IT IS FR-EE-ZING. Photo taken from Derek Yutzy's timeline on Facebook We have about a fifty-five percent chance that our car will start. And even if it does, you may not even make it up the hill to your house. Ohh, the joys of living in the boreal forest. Up North. With all season tires . Not the greatest idea. Luckily we bought a new car and all, and it works better than our old one, but it still doesn't have winter tires.  But we are surviving this cold!  Although I am disappointed I haven't been able to play hockey since Christmas.  Ok, I do have a point to this post. I promise I won't just rant about the cold.  Tomorrow I'm turning fifteen.  Hurrah... not so much.  I mean, I like being fourteen. It's a comfort zone thing. (Not to mention it's an even number, and thirteen and fifteen sound strange... I know. The way my brain works is odd.) Anyhow, I'm not super pumped to turn fifteen. I'm not dreading it, s...

Three Awesome Books

Image
Anyone feel up for a book review? I haven't written one before, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was sitting at my desk trying to decide what I should post about when I remembered how some people do book reviews. But of course, I couldn't decide which book. I mean, there are millions   of books out there that I've read, and I had to pick one?!   I did eventually decide on one but then I changed my mind. Then I picked another.  Then I changed my mind. (indecisive, aren't we?) So then I decided to pick three books and give a short review on each, then pick my   favourite . Like a book contest... If that even exists ... *shrugs* So, the three contestants are........ A Murder for Her Majesty  by Beth Hilgartner Number the Stars  by Lois Lowry and  Our Only May Amelia  by Jennifer L. Holm I will start off by saying that this will be a hard decision for me. I picked three that I love... so at this ...
