Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends.

Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) -- serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) into orbit, a stun...

Happy Friday! I accidentally published this before I meant to.  It still had a number of flaws.  But here it is now, practically perfect!  How was your week?  Mine was rather exciting.  You can read about our largest adventure below.   --------------------------------------------------- Wednesday evening my mom, Willa and I were going for a walk.  We were talking about a German Shepherd who almost attacked them the other day.  My mom said she saw two giant German Shepherds at the park the day before.  Now we carry sticks with us, but they are mostly for drawing designs in the sand.  Arroyo     “Let’s just go home, my legs are jello just thinking about it,” Willa complained. I was starting to feel a little uneasy as well.  Plus, we were planning on going swimming, so maybe we should turn back.  “Yeah, let’s go home,” I agreed. “I really don’t think we’ll see any dogs,” my mom said, re...
