I did it! I finished 50 books. All year I have been working on this goal and my award for getting half way to 100 was going to be a new blue blazer. You know the kind that Lucy Pevencie wears in the Narnia stories? Now that it's time however, my mom pointed out that it's hot and I won't be able to wear it until the fall and school is back from vacation. So, I chose to have High Tea with my friend instead. Teah moved to California last year and I haven't seen her since last summer when I got to visit her at her house. All year long, I have been talking to her on the phone and praying for her. I have missed her very much. We decided a few weeks ago, that we were not going to talk on the phone anymore because we wanted our heads to burst with ideas. I can't wait to see her and have tea together. I'll post pictures after we go.
I am now on my 52nd book "The Beloved Dearly". I just started last night and I am on page 62. There is a second book in the series and I have that ready to read on my long car trip to California. I get car sick really easy, but I think I am going to be able to read this when we get on the long highway and after I take my car sick medicine. It is going to be about 24 hours of driving. Can you believe 24 hours of being able to sit and read all I want? Oh I had better not be feeling car sick!
Summer officially starts on Tuesday afternoon for me. I am planning to do a lot of reading during this time. Here are the places that I am planning on reading in: in the car (jostle, jostle), on my Grandma Gogo's porch near the pretty hummingbirds (hmmmm), at the pool with my Grandma and all of the Wathen cousins ("Marco?....Polo?"), in the Colorado woods (whoot, whoot) , in the airplane ("fasten your seat belts"), in a cabana on the beach in Mexico (whish, whish), in the hammock at our house (hehe hehe), while I am waiting for my bouts at Summer Nationals in Atlanta (beeeep beeeep), and in my favorite place of all, my mom and dad's bed (silence, shhhhh). See what a fun summer I am about to have!
PS...Please give me move suggestions for great books. Hurry ! I am running out of ideas!
PSS... My passport already came and I recieved my birth certificate back in the mail! Whew!
