The Hole N' the Wall Gang

The Hole N' the Wall Gang includes...

Our fearless leaders, Rebecca-Cassidy and Charity-James,

Our prisoner, Mitch the Mobster,

His Niece, Super-Sydney,

And various other card-sharps and ruffians.

In our spare time we scout out the lay of the land,


Make music,

Duel,

And basically make fools of ourselves.

The Big Surprise

If you have read Charity's blog you would already know what the big surprise is. For those of you who don't know, or don't trust Charity's posts, here goes.

Well...it was a dark and stormy night!...wait...Ahem!

Well first off, it wasn't really a surprise. Rebecca did know that something was going to happen. She just had the impression that we were going somewhere. As Charity mentioned, she unintentionally discovered that she had to cancel her plans for this weekend, but she didn't know why.



Since her friends were coming late we stalled before leaving on our "trip". I think by this time she was getting suspicious. Things unraveled even quicker when Rebecca's friends called because they had gotten stuck on a level B dirt road near by and needed help to get out. "So who got stuck?" Rebecca asked. Charity and Dad both answered in unison. "Eugene,"said Charity,"Mark somebody," was Dad's reply. There was no point pretending anymore so Dad and us girls piled in the pick up with a chain and tow rope.

When we got to the dirt road we saw what most farmers know this time of year, if went down that road we were going to get stuck, even with our 4 wheel drive pick up. So we left Charity and Rebecca to walk to the Stuck Wisconsinites and Dad and I drove to get Dad's tractor. By this time it was dark out so when we finally reached the stranded van it was a good thing that the tractor had flood lights.

Rebecca's friends and their parents who came along were pretty embarrassed about getting stuck, but their visit wouldn't have been the same if they hadn't. Besides, they're not the only people to get stuck on that road.



Anyway...Rebecca's friends left this morning, and I think they had a good time. Rebecca showed them around our farm and Sioux Center, but if you want to know the specifics, Rebecca will probably write about them later.

Yay Blogging!

Hello everyone!
Thank you for your Haiku's.


We recently got a new computer and monitor because our old one crashed. I only get to use it on the weekends, but its very cool. Buyt itas hjardf tyo typeo on rthre keyboasrd.
This semester, my classes are very interesting. I think the one that will be funnest, hardest, and most educational at the same time will be photography. Finally I will be able to figure out what all those knobs and dials are on those manual cameras. We even get to develop our own pictures from black and white film. If any one wants me to take their picture, just let me know.
I don't have any really resent pictures, so here are some of my new favorite catten, pip-squeak, and for some reason the illustious hero of song and joke, Mitch the Midget.

By the way, Mitch, we should write our own story.

Winter Beauty

This fall a litter of kittens was born by our house. As of now only two of them survived. If you read Rebecca's blog you will know that a stray dog ended up at our house. Well, this dog was a little too rough and killed one of the little kittens and hurt Spooks' leg. The dog is gone now so I think that the other two will survive through the winter. One kitten has long splotchy brownish fur and is still a little wild. We named that one Wolfman-Dan (after a radio anouncer[don't ask]). The other one that survived is a mousy striped grey kitten named Pip-Squeak. If I can get the video to work, I have a short clip of his squeaky meow.

The rest of the pictures are from the ice storm we had resently. The sheets of ice that covered the ground wre dangerous to walk on, but the ice made everything beautiful.

A Start

I don't really feel like blogging, but as long as I write something today, I might be more likely to write later. It's been almost 2 months since I last blogged, but I'll write about what happened someother time.

Bored

Sorry, that I haven't been blogging for while. The main reason being that nothing interesting has happened. Now,however, I have something to write about. A few hours ago I finished Terry Pratchett's new Book, Making Money, and as to be expected it was great. The story line is different from the last Moist Von Lipwig book while still being just as multilayered as
his other books which is amazing for an author to be able to do. My favorite book by Terry Pratchett is still Night Watch but Making Money is good too.
Here is the American cover for those interested.
