Hello all,
Nothing much to report here. Dad started drawing the plans for the barn on our new property so we can get out of this tiny apartment. What we are planning on doing is building our barn with an apartment over it and then live in it while we are builing our house. And when our house is done which probably be won't be for a couple of years mom and dad can move in the house and i'll have the apartment all to my self. what i'm really excited about though is that i'll get my own tack room. Dad said i can design it and everything. Talking about design we went to hobby lobby today and i saw some really cool stuff. For example i have decided i want to do a rubber ducky design for my bathroom ( for those of you that don't know i collect rubber duckies) and i got this really cool photograph of calafornia street wherever that is and its like this street obviously downtown and it starts level and goes up hill into the fog with traffic on it . IT is AWESOME!
I found out a really interesting fact about Dr. Seuss today (my all time favorite author) in Newsweek Mag. "But how many poets do you know who can sustain a book-length poem using a vocabulary of only 236 words-only one of them more than 2 syllables- and not make it look like a stunt?" Isn't that interesting? I never really thought about it as a poem more like a childrens book. Which it is. Then the question comes up Wouldn't it take a genius to write a childrens book that actually interests children but that technically is a poem? Amazing.
This is where people start getting scared of me. :) Most people would classify there favorite author as John Grisham, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Meg Cabot, but reading and writing i believe is more than just joing words together to create a story but joining them together to form a whole nother world that people would want to visit over and over and over. I believe Dr. Seuss does this more than any other author. Ok now your probably really scared. :)
Ok well i'll see most of you tomorrow.
Love ya'll

Yay for Dr. Seuss!!!!! the best one ever was "And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street" Classic. I'm walking out the door! See you in half an hour! *muah*
Hey Madi! I love Dr. Seuss. He's probably my favorite too. I learned how to read (well, kinda-sorta...) with Cat in the Hat.
And the barn sounds awesome!
Talk to ya later,
Ashley
