Church, lunch on the water, L.L. Bean, Atinque Shop, no dinner, guy talking about politics. That's all we did that day, and now for the details!

At 9:45, with all our church clothes on, we went to a nice Fellowship Church where the sanctuary was once a basketball court. It was very long, with wooden roof and walls, and had a sort of half- moon shape to it.

The singers were good, and it felt very good to be at a church again. Last Sunday we either read the Bible or watched online. The environment was very spiritual, and what was funny was that we knew the songs they sang, but at a different tune. It was very funny.

The preacher was amazing! He had such animation, such depth. He was funny at times, and was also very serious. He stressed the situation that we really needed to spread the good news, and he also read a little from Romans. It was a very good service. I liked it very much.

Dad looked at shoes at a nearby shoe store, yet couldn't find any shoes that fit his size. We then had lunch on the water at a nice restaurant called The Chart Room, and yes... I had lobster again. It was a very nice environment.

After that, we got some stuff at a winery store, and decided to ship it to some people.

We then went to an L.L. Bean outlet store, because I needed new jeans. My other ones were getting too little. Although they didn't have any in my size, we did get shoes and a shirt. You lose one, you gain one!

We were riding home at 3:23 and just happened to stumble upon a bookstore and antique market. It looked as if it used to be a building used for farming, having a red color and cylinder area at the top. Do you know what I'm talking about? Anyway, Dad and I went in, later followed by Rebecca. The first two floors contained antique things, mainly old kitchen ware, old things used, and statues and paintings. The third and fourth floors were all books. The fourth was a loft, that had many rooms, available by a wooden staircase. There were SO many books! American History, World History, Russian History, British History, Irish History, Irish American History, Mystery, Thrill, Agriculture, Planting, Sports, Philosophy, (blahh!) Religion, Classics, Fiction, Science Fiction, and Non Fiction. You name it, they had it! Guess how much time we spent in there? 1 hour, 3 minutes. And that was just going around! It was so big!


I bought two big books, knowing we didn't have room for any more.

At 4:26, we came out.

Then, we came back to the R.V. Park and met a man named Mr. Brooks. He had silky white hair, and a cool short ponytail. He was very nice. He showed Dad a very cool program where you can pull up R.V. sites, called Trailer Life.

But the most interesting thing about that night had to be Mr. Brooks talking about our national deficit, Obama, and the border of Arizona. He had some very interesting views on those subjects. It was very interesting to listen to him on many of his views, and it was a nice political lesson. Mr. Brooks, among many other things, made me think. He was a very nice man.

He also recommended me reading a book called Atlas Shrugged, about the mysterious name of John Gault and a book that has no punctuation. I looked that up, and I think I will put my hands on it someday.


The night ended, and I learned a lot of things. Mom and Dad, at the end of the night, stated that tomorrow, we would be starting our homeschool curriculum. And now I end this blog post, with that thought.
