Hey, everybody.  I’m back from Muscatine, IA.  Just arrived about an hour ago and thought I’d tell the world.  We had a good time, listened to Scott Harrison, founder of ‘Charity: Water’ (He was visiting Muscatine, see http://www.water4christmas.com/ for more details), and saw friends.  We have to go pick up Dad from BSF in a little bit, so I’ll try to post tomorrow.

PS; Happy Thanksgiving!

PPS; BLOGGING FOR COMMENTS (Uhhum…)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said I wouldn’t blog Friday thru Monday.  Well, I still haven’t left, so I have nothing better to do then- um, I thought I would blog while I had time.   So here I am, hoping somebody will read this and think “Man, this guy is obnoxious!” and post exactly that. ;)

I get to go to Iowa and see some friends, and attend the ‘Water Weekend’!  I am looking forward to leaving at the end of the week, going on a long car voyage.  Doing nothing is a treat during the school year.

So, I won’t be blogging Friday thru Monday.  Thanks.

I don’t know how to change the title from ‘6th Grade’ to ‘7th grade’, so please stop laughing and help me out.  How do you change it?

I’m sorry (again) for not blogging at all (again).  I had a lot of school (again), and some more excuses that I will spare you (again).

I saw today, looking at Alex’s blog (http://alexbehindthelens.blogspot.com) a little button that said ‘WILL BLOG FOR COMMENTS’.  The same applies here.  I basically blog for comments.  The more the merrier.  Get the hint?  If not, then I have to improve my writing skills. :)

I am going to preset a post I am going to post for tomorrow, so be sure to check!

Hello, everyone, I am back from Grandma’s house (By the way, it was great, Grandma, thanks for having us over), and I found yet another Monday waiting for me. (Sigh).  But….

6 DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!!

I haven’t even disscussed what to do for my birthday yet with Mom, so I’ll have to do that.

I am leaving home today (No, not that kind, I’m only almost 13). Mom is having a Mom’s Retreat at our house for her friends, so she’s kicking us out for a little while.  We’re going to Grandma D’s (I’ll see you then, Grandma), and are going to stay there for a couple of days.  So expect a possible lapse in blogging…  (Of course, a lapse in blogging happens nearly every day…)

The weekend is coming to an end. :(

But we had a  nice break from school.  The girls had a friend visit from Newton, KS, and altogether it was a nice weekend while it lasted.  This will be my shortest post ever, so please comment and say “I need you to blog more!”  At least then I could blog on those comments.

Signing out,

Jake
