A story of a word

I have always made up words, usually when I'm trying to say one word and I get it wrong thinking it's right. It's just my thing. So recently I had been at a loss for words. I wanted something to say other than "oh darn"or "oh my goodness." Then the other day it came to me, a word that was so satisfying, so full. I knew it was the right word. The word, ladies and gentle men, is Bolvine. Not bovine, but Bolvine. (Pronounced Bullvine) Is it not so satisfying? haha. Yes, that is my story for now, a story of a word. :)

Hey, right now I'm on vacation!!!! Yay! I don't have internet at the cabin that I'm staying at so right now I'm at a cute little coffee shop that has wifi. But, sadly, now i must go.

Tomorrow

"The sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollor that tomorrow there'll be sun. Just thinkin' about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow till there's none. When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely I just stick out my chin and grin and say the sun 'll come out tomorrow so you gotta hang on till tomorrow. Come what may. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow you're always a day away." ( Annie)

We are forgiven by His blood.

Supporting our soldiers

I am reading a book about a girl in America during World War II. It got me thinking. Back then people did all they could to help and support our soldiers, even the kids helped; and I want to do something to help our soldiers nowdays. Our soldiers do their part by risking thier lives to save the US, and I want to support them in some way. I have been thinking of ways that I can help support them. So far I have thought that i could collect used soda cans and exchange them for money and use the money to help our soldiers, but I don't know where I would send the money or how it would get to our soldiers. If you have any ideas please leave a comment.

Grandma Bobbie

A few weeks ago my grandma died. I miss her very much. She was such a great gandma. We used to exange letters in the mail. We were looking through her drawers the other day and I found a few letters that I wrote to her when I was like 6 or 7. I thought it was very nice that she kept those all these years. She accepted Jesus in her heart a few months ago so she is with Jesus. I remember when she would tell us about when she was young. We loved her stories. When my sister and I were younger and when my grandma would come to visit we would wake up early, grab our favorite toy, and sit outside the bedroom door, waiting for her to wake up so we could show her our toys. When she moved here, she would always tell my sister and I when Hannah Montana was gonna be on th television so we could go to her house and watch it with her. She was a fun grandma. I love her so much.
