Nice try girls :) Better luck next time!

A Paper

Beth had to write a paper for English patterned

after Washington Irving's style of writing.

This is her story.

Residing in a little suburb, is a young boy of nine years.

His eyes are deep brown like chocolate

and his grin can make even the grouchiest old man smile.

He's a tall young boy, growing a little more every year.

This little guy strives to be handy and offer his endless

advice in every situation.

He has recently developed a love of books,

always trying to obtain his fill.

He will attempt to accomplish most anything

and is always busy doing something.

He'll be a friend to anyone his size

and bigger people, too.

This sweet, little boy lives with me

and is my cute little brother.

I didn't make it through without tearing up.

I even teared up typing it out.

I think it so cute and accurate!

Happy Friday!

I'm Feeling Old

Today my oldest niece turns 17!

I remember her as just a little peanut.

As you can see, she loves horses.

Plus, she owns something that even I don't have.

  

A passport.

What might you acquire in the next 17 years, Bec?

Happy Birthday from all of us, with love!
