Monkey Bars!!!

 Over the last three days, daddy has worked extremely hard to dig three 1/2 deep holes, move quite heavy poles, level everything and much more. They are very fun. Sam made it across THREE times without touching his feet to the ground! I was shocked. I could only make it across once before resting.

SAT(Student Achievement Testing)

 

SAT is coming up again this year and I am soooo nervous. The songs I'm playing are a contemporary piece called Prelude in B flat minor. The second one is a Romantic piece called Sonotina in something, something major, and the last one is a Baroque piece called Prelude in somethin', somethin'. Anyway the names don't matter. They're really hard. I also have to do all the major and minor two octave scales... Aaaaaaaaagh! But the point of this post is that it is March 16th and I am really nervous. Wish me luck! So long!



Especially for Christina

       Other than their attitudes, I made Soren look like me and modeled Fern after you. A Rebekah like character comes along later in the story. Oh, by the way, I didn't see the comment you mentioned at church on any of my posts. Did I misunderstand what you were saying or did it not show up for some reason. It was fun eating with you guys at Taco Bell. Enjoy your day!!

        "Soren? Soren...Soren!" It had almost reached sundown and Fern could not find where Soren had run off to. Suddenly, a net sprung up from the ground capturing Fern and Acies, bundling them like two pigs and a blanket. A falcon broke from a nearby bush and soared off to who knows where. Stunned, Fern and Acies sat there in silence and waited.





I've thought of a title for my book: ESCAPE. Hope you like what you've heard so far.

       "We should really go back to Lunaland Soren."
       "No! Not until we've figured our who owns this land."
       "Maybe nobody does."
       "I want an adventure."
       "To me that sentence is the same as saying, 'I want trouble.'"
       "You didn't have to come." Soren kicked Hostis into a canter. Fern was hurt. She hadn't meant to break their friendship. Soren was out of sight by now and Fern loped after her.

      "What are you doing here?" Soren hissed, trying to cover her fear. Fern looked up sheepishly and answered,
      "Well, I couldn't just let my best friend run off into the Brackamshire woods could I? I'll Have to admit Acies,* my kitty isn't used to walking in the woods, hit about every twig from there to here." Soren released a bubbly laugh. "I brought food too." Fern muttered, "Your the only one who could be careless enough to forget that." Soren grinned. Fern was always "picking up the things she dropped" so to say. They continues through the undergrowth, Acies making it extremely obvious to any creature where the were. Gradually, the progress became quieter and less clumsy. Suddenly, both cats began shifting around uneasily, and balked from going further. Just then, a monstrous badger charged towards them out of the brush. Instantly, with shrieking wails, and scrambled away, predator close on their tails. The Luna's lifted off their mounts and flew to the safety of the treetops. As soon as the cats were loose they darted up tree's just in time to miss the snarling badgers menacing claws and snapping jaws. The frustrated mammal rampaged back into the dense undergrowth. Soren and Fern flitted over to their terrified felines and soothed them with milky, enchanting words, while still peering around to check their surroundings.


*Acies means battle line, because that's where he was captured 
and brought to the Luna's

Fantasy Post The III

Soren was nervous. She let her mount pick her way through the Brackamshire woods, keeping alert for any mysterious sounds. They were most likely across the Lunaland border by now and no knowing who ruled beyond that. It had been five almost six days of journey from her house, including persuading Hostis* to cross Butterfly River. Poor Hostis had miserably slithered out the other side to immediately start licking her sopping fur. CRACK! A noise snapped Soren back to the present. Hostis froze in her tracks. CRACK, CRACK! All of a sudden, Fern emerged on the back of a monstrous grey tomcat.


*Hostis means 'enemy' in latin. Soren named her cat that 
because the cat came from the Pixie's.
