These next four pieces are from last weeks online group.
The first one is my very favorite, I had so much fun writing it, I shoulda been taxed!



SHOW AND TELL


Hi. This week I had friends come to visit at my house. We had a lot of fun and today for show and tell, I’m gonna tell you how much fun we had.

Here’s the tickets from when we went to Hoover Dam on Wednesday. We took the Power Plant tour – see it says that right on the ticket. We didn’t take the whole dam tour cause it cost too much. Then we got this free button and this bumper sticker. They have lots of red, white, and blue on them for America!

Then we came home and Bob cooked grilled steaks on the bar-be-que. Here’s the fancy McCormick grill mates pepper he sprinkled on the steaks but the lid fell off while he was shaking it and there was wayy too much pepper. We scrapped off some of it but there was still a bunch left. It was real good though I had to drink a lotta water between bites of steak.

Thursday we went sailing on the big sailboat and Bob got to steer. We put up all the sails but there wasn’t enough wind so we had to keep the engine going too. That’s called motor sailing. Here’s a picture of Bob steering. Here’s a picture of Billie sitting in the sun. Don’t worry; she put on a lotta sun screen so she wouldn’t get burned. See.

Here’s a picture of the five antelope we saw drinking at the edge of the lake in Castle Cove. That’s my favorite cove in the whole lake. The antelope had big white spots on their butts. Billie said that was so they could follow each other at night, like car head lights. You can see the white spots right here but you have to look real hard cause they blend into the desert rocks.

Then we came home and got all cleaned up and went out onto the Strip to see this Cirque de Soleil show called “Love.” Here’s the tickets. Our seats were right next to the stage and you could see the people’s faces while they twirled around on the trapeze thingys. The bungee jumpers boinged up real high almost through the roof. I want one of those bungee things and one of those trapeze things at my house.

Here’s a piece of red crape paper that fell out of the ceiling at the end of the show. There was a lotta stuff happening on that stage and it was hard to see all of it. My eyes got sore from trying. See how red they still are?

Then we went home but we were still so excited from the show we sat up and talked until midnight! That’s way past my bedtime.

This morning my friends Billie and Bob helped me set up an awning in my back yard and we talked a lot more until they had to leave. That part was real sad. I’m gonna miss them.

Oh one more thing, here’s the bag of all the wine bottles we opened and drank. Bob likes beer better, here’s all his bottles.

This last picture is of me and my cats Rocky and Max waving good-by to our friends. We are saying “We love you! Come back real soon!”

But you can’t see that in the picture.

The End
