(p.s. there was a small cat fight while we were reading) will post zoo pictures tomorrow.

We made it to Sebastian Joe's after the "sit sing" rehearsal for Brigadoon. We are standing inside Sebastian Joe's using one of their fancy iMac computers to write this entry. Becky says that rehearsal was "boring" but I enjoyed playing my oboe in the orchestra. Since we were driving down I-94 anyhow, stopping for ice cream in "uptown" was easy.
We ordered "chocolate pistachio" "mint chocolate chip" and "Bailey's Coffee Chip". can you guess which was who's? (Becka, Andy and Rachel are the people here, in case that wasn't totally obvious 
).
The reason I'm typing this entry is because I finished my ice cream first, and Rachel is still working on her's. its kind of turned into a leaky mess. (We can't agree if the word "her's" in the last sentence needs an apostrophe.)

 | Here is our completed "fish stick" and fancy family bible. We also painted a couple of wheels of cheese today but they aren't quite dry enough to photograph. We also took a picture of Rachel getting Lucky ready for her new home with a friend of Andy's. |  |

Here is our basket of bread and candy for the candy seller. Can you guess what the taffy is made out of? We have to thank Mom for the great suggestion of making taffy out of packing peanuts! We also made fish for the fisherman to sell. We're not sure what kind of fish they are - "Blarney Trout" or "Scottish Salmon" maybe "Highland Pike".

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Ten tiny turtles on the telephone
Talking to the grocery man
"We would like some lettuce,
Please send us ten heads please,
And ten sweet potatoes
And ten rutabagas with the dimples on their knees.
And send us 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Artichokes
Ten eggplants over easy
That's one of our little jokes ( ha ha ha )
Ten leafy, leafy collard greens
And please make sure they're washed!
Light up our eyes
Brighten our lives
With ten banana squash.
We'll need ten cans of black-eyed peas
They give you good strong muscles
Ten of those tasty sprouts
The ones that they call brussels
We'd also like ten mangos
They're the favorite of our sister Gert
And one last thing
Please do include ten apples for dessert!
10! "

Now, we just have to let these dry and see if we got the formula right. 4 loaves of bread and 2 hot-cross buns...

On the radio last night I heard that Ronald Reagan died yesterday afternoon, from Pneumonia, at age 93. He also had Alzheimers Disease.

This morning Lucy found a guinea pig in the bushes by the garage. She was attacking it but missed completely. We will take a picture of it after it has dried out a little. There was a thunderstorm last night so I think that he was wet from that. We think he should be called Lucky. We are going to make posters, ask at Petsmart, ask at the school to see if they have school tomorrow. For the rest of the day we plan to work in the garden, make something for the picnic before we go to the band concert, then go to the band concert, then do something after the concert because Andy has a rehearsal for Brigadoon. Whew!
