Quote of the Day: Mom opened the back door and it being a very windy day the wind comes rushing in. Quite randomly Dad says, “Hello Wind! How are you doing today? Keep moving!” Mom and Dietch crack up and Dad proceeds by telling Dietrich something about getting a wife, however, I wasn’t listening and only caught the latter part, and Dad would only say it was between him and Dietrich

Quote of the Day
Once in a Lifetime Event!!
This is amazing! I just did something phenomenal! I still can’t really believe it! Hannah you will be especially amazed! I just beat Dietrich at Monopoly!!! This has never happened! Dietrich is so good he even occasionally beats Dad!! And Dad is the last word in Monopoly! This calls for celebration!!! I must confess though Dad did help me quite a bit, but still this is fantastic like literally (conceived or appearing as if conceived by an unrestrained imagination; odd and remarkable; bizarre;).This is seriously amazing!
On another note, yesterday I went over to Christy’s house and we went on a long ramble like usual and then it looked kinda stormy so we went back to the house and about five, or ten minutes later it started to hail pea-sized hail abd we were pretty glad we came in when we did! After a while it started to hail quarter-sized hail! After a while it stopped and we went out and we were literally walking barefoot on ice! It was great! All of a sudden we decided to make ice-cream with the hail so we gathered up a bunch and were just getting ready to make ice-cream when Mom called and said I have to come home and take care of Dietch while she and Dad went somewhere :*( . Well I was consoled by the book that Christy gave me but it was still disappointing.
Well, I should go practice piano, so c’ya

P.S. I hit a new record the other day! I walked 6.5 miles the other day!
Happiness
Guys, you seriously can’t believe what has just happened to me. It is absolutely awesome! Dad has just informed me that he [with the help of one David Norman, a man who tunes our piano] has just bought a new Baldwin upright piano! I am so happy, not bouncy all-over-you happy but rather quiet-unbelievably happy. I don’t know why, it is not like it is our first real piano. Perhaps it is because the other one was not really ours, but rather Maria Stutzmans. I can not wait until we get it tuned and I can play on it! The other piano is irreparably hurt, and I did love it like my own, and I am sad that it can no longer sing. The piano tuner says that we will absolutely love the sound of this one and that it is good for amateur pianists. Well, that is all for tonight except a QOTD.
We were gathered around the supper table having a hilarious time and I was about choking on my grapes when suddenly Dad has a stroke of a genius and says “Kristi is choking on her jokes!”
Cheerio,
Kristi
Poetry, Ryhmes, Dittys, and Sisterly Companionship
Here is a poem that I came across the other day, tell me what you think of it:
The sun it rose with majesty,
The clouds were touched with gold,
It shimmered on the rooftops,
The moment now we hold.
Heidi, Trippy, and I are all sitting in the living room making different kinds of art, it is so awesome. Trippy is writing a song for Music II, Heidi is doing stuff with pictures, and I, well I am trying to write poetry, and we’re cracking up at each other . Here is a little ryhme thing that Trippy came up with [ it should be read C..D..E...Who..Ha..He]:
C, D, E, Who, Ha, He
Here is another little ditty, one that I came up with, like, just now so it is kinda stupid:
They were dying.He was crying.
Take a penny. Drop it in the well.
Well people, pray for Grandma,
Fare Thee Well,
-Kristi
Quote of the Day
Dietrich talking to Hans about Lord of the Rings: “Who are those guys those…Eisenhowers!” Hans: “What?” “You know Eisenhowers” “Oh, Isengarders!” “Yeah Eisengarders”
This and That
Well, this will be a short post because I can only type with one hand since I have an adorable little girl named Emileen in my other hand. We are babysitting Dwight and Karens kids until like 10:00 tonight. I love babysitting, and I especially enjoy babysitting Dwights kids, so we are having a ton of fun! Well, this is getting a bit tiring writing all this with one hand so I shall bid you all, Adieu, -Kristi
P.S. I will be more inclined to post if ya’ll leave comments
Cast Party

Well, there you have it. Sorry that I haven’t been posting too much lately I have been really busy so, yeah,
Well, Cheerio -Kristi
Good and Bad, They Are Both in Life
Well, first, the not so cool news. My class was not able to come and so that was rather sad but, oh well. The good mews is that we had a really good first play! For some reason I was never really very nervous about it and then suddenly I am like oh my word I should be nervous! Then I got really nervous! But like right before we made our “grand entrance”, I was not nervous, and when we were walking down the aisle I am like this is just a bunch of immature school kids and from that moment on I was not nervous at all!
After the play we came straight home, ate hamburgers, and crashed! I just got back from the school, where I got all my school books, and Christy and Joey just got here and so I have plenty of stuff to do and so I shall say,
adieu, -Kristi
EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
Really, Really EXCITED!!!!!!!! I am seriously EXCITED!!! I am really EXCITED about the play!!!!! My whole entire 7th and 8th grade class are coming for the informance!! Guys tomorrow is our first performance!!!! o my pink monkeys!! Guys I love, love, LOVE the cast the crew the whole kaboodle!!! guys seriously, ok VA people, remember the time that you saw me happy, I am ten times more happy!!! And people from school I am about 5 times more happy then when I left!! This is a dream come true for me!! Seriously like from the first moment that I heard the word theater I wanted to be in a real play, not just a school play but a real full-fledged play!!!!!!! We got it all: costumes, make-up, tech guy [he is cool], lights, director, everything! I mean what more could I want!!??!!??
Well there is one thing that is lacking, and that is the presence of these people, which cannot be here but mean the world to me; Hans, Benji, Merry, Susie, Maria, Brian and Sara, Pete and Vi, Linda [Starling], dozens of cousins, all the people from the VA school, and many more. But there is one more who is the most important, and that is Grandma Jane, I know that she would have loved to see us up there an the stage, and would give us great big hugs afterward, she would have been so happy that my dream was finally coming true. She was the sweetest Grandma anyone can ever have and I just want to say that I love her with all my heart and I wish I could have known her better.
Well, thank God that I can be in this play, and really pray that we will alldo really well,
Goodnight, – Kristi
