SHOPPING!!!!!!!!(WE DID IT AGAIN)

I forgot to tell you that I finished the Auto Biography Of Mark Twain the day before yesterday, on the 27th of Oct. It was a good book, filled with all things M.T., and it, was written by him. I got the book at M.T.'s home in Hartford, Connecticut, and, incidentally, in a few days we will be going to his childhood home, in Missouri.

Speaking of where we are about to be, I will quickly explain our little game plan, and where we are going until Christmas. We think we are going to Kansas today, and then Missouri for the next few days. (Kansas I believe will be a one-nighter, not the coolest state.) After that we are going Midwest and east again, taking in Indiana and Kentucky and other states. Who knows, we might even go to Louisiana and Oklahoma and Mississippi before Christmas.

We only have one month and a few days left, and then in the first or second week of Dec, we are gonna come home to ole' GA. I am very excited, but I still want to enjoy the month that we have.

Thank you for staying with us and reading what we're doing. When we do come home (for Christmas), please still read, even though we will be busy, because you will get a first hand account of what we are doing. After Christmas and such we will leave and come west, doing Texas, and California, and all others. We also will go to Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and other northwestern states we aren't doing now because it is snowing there. But, I will stop talking about this now, as it is a month away. I might not talk about this again though, so please remember (well, I probably will). Anyway, let me now go over the events that took place yesterday.

I woke up, and we all did the getting ready stuff, and I took a math test. We then went into the car, and I took my history textbook to read, and I read about early events of the 1800's (in Europe) and learned about wars and the Crimean War. The Grimm brothers and Edgar Allen Poe, romanticists, were talked about too. I also brought my new book about Theodore Roosevelt's time in the bad lands.

Then, we arrived at a big, pretty outdoor mall, with shops and stores of all kinds. Dad went into the apple store there to work out a problem with his iPad not working. Much to my reluctance, Rebecca, Mom and I went into a blamed Gap store (no offense to any Gapians) and sadly, I tried on jeans and hoodies. We spent like an hour there, but while I had the chance I read a little of The bad land book. It was very good, and had action packed parts like when Roosevelt kills his first buffalo, and when they get chased by a wolf. I'm enjoying it a lot.

We left (FINALLY) after a lot of shopping. I was the chained prisoner set free, and I was very glad. At a nice restaurant called Paradise, I got chili and a reuben sandwich. It was really good.

We went back to our car, then drove around for a while and finally came home. At a dog park, we chased and ran with the dogs, the wind on my face, the sweat down my neck, and the dogs by my side, I'm telling you that THAT was Paradise!

Well, we watched the World Series Game, and we saw the St. Louis Cardinals win. I didn't exactly care WHO won, but I'm glad they did because they are in Missouri, the home of a great author. (Can you guess who?)

Well, my night wasn't very sleep filled, as I was not tired and kept waking up, but eventually sleep overtook me.

"It's dogged that does it! I can't get that buffalo!"- Theodore Roosevelt,
