2000 Road Trip Report - By Erik

This weekend we were going through an old desk and found a journal Erik wrote on the road trip we took to Disneyland in 2000.  From what he says about us near the end, we think we made him write it.  (Most of the mistakes are part of his original manuscript.)

We are looking forward for Disneyland,  It is very beautiful in New Mexico.  When we look out of the window we see all sorts of colors:  green, brown, red.  We are seeing a lot of cows.  Last night it was so foggy that we had to stop.  We could hardly find a hotel.  There was fog in the pool. 

In the car we play darts, I spiy, read, crafts.  I made a shark bag and We are reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,

We are in Canada.  We see nothing on the prarie.  We are reading the first Harry Potter book now.  It is a very good book to reab.  It's getting very boring,  It's very bumpy. I got yoyo that lights up,  I got my eye's tested by my ant.  She is an optomatrist.  I am very fursterated because of my perants.

We were at science world in vancouver,  I was a very cool fire show,  I lerned how to make a pillar of fire. 

I saw a place called grossology and boy was it stinky.

I also saw lots of things that had to do with sound,

I saw tons of nature, I saw a rilly big narwal tusk. 

Six Years to the Day

Six years ago today we got possession of our house. We have an annual KFC party to remember our first meal in the house. (Some years, this is the only time we eat KFC.)

This year, however, we have more to celebrate. We completely paid off our house - TODAY!  


You may wonder: What about the register covers?  
Paid for!
The light fixture?  
Paid for (even the cobwebs)!

The cool bathroom sink and faucet? 
Paid for!
The heating system?  
Paid for!

The tiny window in the back? 
 You betcha!  Paid for!

It is officially all ours .....

...even the dining room where we celebrated.
