msmoon | Diary Entry From Lake Bruin (Reply)

Hi Minna! Boy am I glad to be home. I decided that I’d hurry up and HTML and post my diary thing so I wouldn’t have to worry about it later. Enjoy.

Saturday Morning

Hey Minna. At the moment I’m tiered now than when I went to sleep last night. Is that unfair or what? Oh well, I’m sitting in a comfortable chair, rocking ever so slightly, in my Uncle J.E. and Aunt Wanda’s camp with the best view of Lake Bruin I’ve yet to see. Of course it’s the only view of Lake Bruin I’ve ever seen, but that doesn’t matter.

So what’s today’s game plan? Easy. It’s now 8:25 AM. Within a matter of hours my “Kin” will descend upon us. We’re having a shrimp and crab boil. For us southerners in the lower part of La. that’s normal. But for the folks up here it’s a treat, especially with family. But for now, I’m content to read, listening to the crickets caged on the porch (for fishing), and the crop dusting plains flying in the distance. Write here later.

OK Minna. Same day…many hours later. According to my watch it’s 4:30. I’ve sat in the same rocking chair just about all day. Within the course of the hours I’ve read 6 Saddle Club books and listened to almost all twenty of my CD’s that I brought with me. And let me tell you, I’ve got such a headache. Now I remember why I’m usually so reluctant to come out here. The trip alone is terrible, and once I’m here I really don’t have much to do. Oh well, write here later.

Well Minna, it’s 8:00 PM, and mom and dad are out right now. So I took my shower and made my be so I’m all ready for sleep. Of course this presents the obvious problem… it’s 8:00… and I’m ready for bed. Actually, I just can’t wait to leave tomorrow. Mom accused me of being antisocial. No more than usual. Oh well, like I always say, “If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck…then it’s probably a duck.” For those of you who haven’t a clue of what the whole duck business was, you might just simply say “What you see is what you get.” Oh well, this is what I do when I’m bored….I confuse the people that read my diary.

Well Minna (notice how I always say that o.O?) this, I hope, will be my last entry from L.B. Tomorrow we’re supposed to visit Aunt Renie (Nick name for my Aunt Irene). Then we’re supposed to take off for home. We left home about 2:00 and get here around 7:00 on the way up here, so I’ve no illusions about getting home early. I just hope I have a chance to exercise tomorrow. I missed today, although Dad says it’s good to exercise every other day. I’m going to ask him what I should do for my arms since I have 4 moves for my legs and only thing I could think of for my arms were push ups. Oh well goodnight.

Well Minna, that was the day. Kinda boring really. But we got home safe and sound. And I’m kinda tired from the drive so I’ll write later. Ja.
