Last night Caleb and I were up pretty late looking through old photos. We had a lot of laughs! We came to a realization that Caleb's the only one in this family that has changed. And when I say change, I mean physical appearance change. This is a picture of Sarah and I taken 4 years ago! We still look like this now. My brothers Josh and Dave still look like they did 4 years ago too. Caleb is the only one that looks different, and we were having some good laughs over what he did look like when he was 11 or so. Of course I will put his picture up; I'm surprised he gave me his permission to do so. : ) Oh, by the way Josh took this photo of Sarah and I.
These were taken last week when Caleb went to New York City with my dad and other brother Dave. This is the Mets baseball stadium -$4.00 tickets. They also took the free ferry out to see Lady Liberty.
I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to go.
I so want to go to Sampson's Island in Coutit soon! I've never walked around the whole island and that is one of my goals this summer. : ) It should take me a couple hours... I'm planning on making dinner for the family tonight. I'm thinking cube steak and potatoes. I don't know how I'm going to cook the potatoes yet. Here are my options.
- Mashed
- Fried
- Scalloped
- Baked
Or I could make my special potato volcanoes! They are so good. I think I'll try baking them that way. I'll take a picture of them when they're done and put it up here on my blog so you can see for yourself what potato volcanoes are in case you haven't come across them before. Speaking of cooking, When I was cooking my breakfast, things got a little smoky, so I put the hot frying pan out on the front steps to cool off. After about 3 minutes I hear my mom call," Lyddie! The frying pan!" Ha-ha that's when I heard the noise too. It was raining and the rain drops were sizzling on the hot, hot frying pan. : ) Right now I'm blogging, emailing my friend Rowan who is doing an internship at Old Sturbidge Village, listening to Sugarland, and switching back and forth from blogging to playing a game called Chocolate Course. I'm pretty good at the game. You have to be really quick with your hands! Tonight Sarah and I are going to play a board game called Horse Sense. It's all about horses, ( you probably gathered that it was about horses from the title. :) Anyway, it has questions about horse care etc. etc. After I read a book I usually end up wanting to own the books really bad. I would never buy a book new, ( unless the occasion called for it) so I keep a look out for the books I want at library book sales and places like that. And what's so great about that? God always provides the book I've been looking for! That's what's so great! Oh, another one of my goals this summer is to visit all the old book stores that I can. There's this one used books store in Barnstable that has shelf after shelf of old books. The book cases in the shop reach to the high beams of the ceiling! The building is very old. Built around the 1800's. The floor boards creek, dust is in between the books, and you can easily get lost in the maze of book cases. That's the kind of used book stores I like to visit, just to look and browse. I usually can't afford to buy books from places like that, ( even though they're used, there are also rare books, so that's what makes them so expensive.) Ah, I could spend hours in places like that... Especially on a rainy, dreary day. That's the best time to go. Think I've rambled on enough? I think I have. Once I start talking, ( typing : ) I find it hard to stop! Besides I should start making dinner now.
Bye!
Signing off as,
