This is.

Eva a few days before her world was turned upside down, when her baby brother was born. The picture of her swinging the baseball bat makes me giggle every time. She's number three, monkey see, monkey do.

It's Frustrating.

When foreign songs get stuck in your head that you really like, but don't understand, mostly. And I hate when the audience sings.

Fact:

I love America.
I like Canada too.
But I love America.

I have always known I love pears.
Earwigs crawling out of peaches while I'm slicing them,
Gives me the willies.
Peaches are all-American.
I've never been to Georgia.

I didn't feel bad I wasn't starting school anymore.

Guess who gets to show him how to use it if he has any problems.
I'm so grateful that I've had the chance to live so close to P and Lew.
I love them.
Sometimes.
I guess it's good to at least like someone in your extended family, right.
