An Enjoyable Night

Ah, we actually don't have places to go, people to meet etc. tonight. It is really relaxing...

At the moment I am at m'dear grandparent's "Grandpa and Nannie's" house. We had a wonderful, delicious, supper, prepared by Nannie, consisting of; chicken and rice, corn on the cob, and for dessert a luscious watermelon! It was all really good...My Nannie is an expert cook.

As you can see, I have made some changes on my blog. I had to come on someones computer which actually lets you do things. So I sent Anna, my newly created blog heading (Made by me best friend Floppy) and then got it uploaded, added some pictures and buttons. (Bayleaf, I used your "I luv comments" I thought it was cute! So, I'm happy...and I hope you all are too!

Right now, Grandpa, Dad and Isaac are moving a hutch out the door, to Dad's truck, which is a few feet away... - The hutch is for next years school books! - By the way mom completed all of our school year schedules this morning, she is very pleased.

The only other thing...we picked 2 and a 1/2 five gallon pails of green beans, a bucket of raspberries, and some peas today. We also went on a field trip to an organic farm. And now are at me grandparent's house.

Have a great night!

Another Post...Finally!

To my "post hungry" blog followers, I'm sorry about not posting lately. Our family has had a lot of company and busy things happening the past...few months, so it's been hard to post, but now I am!!!

Our BIG surprise finally arrived last week! A new Pontiac-Montana van. Its awesome, there are (so it seems) tons of compartments and drink holders, a DVD player, reclining seats, (our old van seats didn't recline except for the driver and passenger seats). My mom's favorite part is the organized trunk. The van also has a CD and MP3 player, and all sorts of other fun stuff!!! Yes, as you can tell, I enjoy our new van!

Another exciting happening is that Anna is coming back from Ohio Youth Camp tomorrow! It will be nice to have her back...Especially for weeding and mowing! (Just kidding, that's not the only reason. :p) Hopefully she had a good time.

Dad is going to help Bro. Ed stack/throw (as they call it) hay, tonight. He should be gone for about 3 hrs. and then Mom is going shopping...grocery shopping, so I am probably NOT going. I almost despise grocery shopping...well most shopping. :)

Bethany (Flop, as I refer to her) Christian, Hannah and Joshua Bergmann came over Tuesday. We (Flop, Hannah and I) attempted to play tennis, went to the park, played Dutch Blitz, etc. They really should come over more often.

Let's see....Saturday, we are having Anna's Birthday party. She will be turning the grand number of 14 yrs. old. (Oh! I have to plan everything...yet.) Bethany, Bailey, and some of the other Bergmann kids, will be coming, along with my grandparents and Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Megan. Happy early Birthday Anna!!!

Hope "ya'll" have a good week/weekend!



((hugs))

The Latest Events

The latest events happening this week are the following;

On Monday, we were just exhausted from a most exotic and wonderful weekend. So, after sleeping in, I got up and mozied around for a bit, and then before lunch-time had the wonderful idear of going to the Olen Park for a picnic lunch. Mother agreed and we set off. What a time we had, boy it was fun!!!

Tuesday; My family has been excited for quite some time of an "unknown to you all secret", and Tuesday was the day it was supposed to happen. But, plans were changed and we were all a bit disappointed. Dad had planned to go to my grandparents to get a haircut, so we went and took a walk, rode the bikes down to see the Grover's horses, (that were in the other pasture) and when we got back, Dad had received the haircut he was due. We were going to leave, but wait! My wonderful Grandpa, had prepared a snack for us. Cold lemonade and snack mix. (Mmmmm, it was really good!) We came home and then went to bed. That was Tuesday.

Wednesday; I woke up at 6:20 something, but waited in bed until about 6:30 to really get up. (Shame, shame, I know!) I got up as usual, slowly and trying to be quiet so as not to wake up my sisters Anna and Becca in my descent. I got downstairs and pulled my hair into a tighter pony-tail. Then, I helped Mom with making Dad's lunch. At around 6: 40 - 45 or so I went and took Dad's lunch and daily coffee (he probably couldn't live without coffee. ;) out to the truck and started it. Well...I attempted to start it! Many other mornings it had started just fine (except, when I was just beginning to start his truck and it rolled forward a bit). Well, after pressing the brake, pulling the shifter into a different gear, and pushing my foot on the clutch pedal, I turned the key. VROUMPH! Said the truck as it jumped/lurched. (Can trucks jump!?) With a racing heart, I slowly put my foot on the brake and looked at the shifter. I then saw the problem, I had it in the wrong gear. So, adjusting it I started it without a problem. I ran inside and ate breakfast.

We had to pick up Anna and Seth to go take Anna shopping for needed accessories for camp, (She is going to Believers Youth Camp in Oh on Fri.) then Mom and Isaac had chiropractor appts. So, Becca and I stayed with Anna and Seth at Aunt Megan's for some lunch, then mom came back and we went home.

We set up the pool!! Yay! I am so glad, since it has been so warm and humid I think we actually might need it!!! It took about 2 and 1/2 hours to fill it. So, it took a resonable amount of time.

Well, you just got an update in the life of Me!

Have a great day!!

Kara, Pip (whatever you like to call me, just not something mean!!)
