Days ... 4 - 7 ... I think... COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG

Williamsburg is a town in Virginia where they re-enact colonial times! it's really really cool, and you can walk around and interact with say blacksmiths, bakers, and candlestickmakers. Just kidding I didn't see any candlestick makers...but it was still really coll!! Here, lemme show you.

This is a bedroom in a tavern.

A random house thing in a street...

The back of a silversmith's shop.

Michaela, in a "woman's hat"

And...ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Bonnie in a bonnet".

I tried to make this pic of a prison like eerie-ily lighted...but I failed. Sorry.

A harpsichord! NOT a piano. But still pretty cool! It's like really high-pitched, and narrow! And there's no pedals.

Ciao for now! ~ Cap'n Bonnie Spinner!

{the road goes ever on and on...}

{you have NO idea how many times it took me to take this pic and get it to turn out right...}

{*looks distractedly out the car window, thoughts gently merging together into a big blob of mental laziness in response to the car's gentle hum as the need to nap stealthily approaches...*}

{the view from our car...the windshield cracked, btw, so we're a bit concerned and wondering if we should get it fixed here or risk it cracking and going somewhere else...}

{the sunset, signifying the closing of a day... the beginning of a new legion of memories}

Brief Update

Hey y'all, whatsup? How y'all doin? Hm...I can post pics for visual interest....... *grin* Even though the pics will have nothing whatsoever to do with what I'm saying...

{hibiscus flower in me backyard...yea}

As some of you may know, Charity is @ Nationals for gymnastics this week, so if you could just keep her in her prayers so that she and the rest of the team are safe and that they would be able to perform to the best of their abilities, that would be great. I doubt she'll read this, but it's nice to pray for her anyway.

{converse - bowling, end of the year}

Also, I just wanted to tell y'all my family is leaving for Washington DC on July 2nd and will be gone until the 20th, so that's like...3 weeks, which is pretty dang close to a month...a month in which I will not see y'all. :( So Imma miss y'all and try to get y'all some souvenirs. ;) unless I run out of money, or if I have to sacrifice your gift to man-eating bananas, if they randomly attack me. I'm sure you'd understand, right?

{el piano [betcha didn't know I spoke Spanish, eh?] in mi casa}

So, in short, for those of you who'll see me on Sunday, it'll be my last for like three weeks, so don't cry. ;P And for the rest of my blogging friends, I hope we can get together when I get back. I'll try to post pics and blogs of what's going on in DC, since I'll be taking my new cam {which all of these cool pics came from} and we'll probably be taking @ least one computer. I'll miss you guys so much! Don't do anything exciting while I'm gone!! Just kidding. Alright this post is long and pointless enough. CIAO! {and never have nababas and peanutbutter for breakfast!}

{my monkeybars. I used to sit and play up there when I was little, or if I needed to think I'd climb up there...or if I was mad and needed time by myself. Monkeybars were great, you know. But they lie! There are NO MONKEYS up there!!!}

Buttons, the Knight

Once upon a time and place, there was a seven year old tabby cat named Buttons who lived in a nice house with lots of people who loved him and bored him to tears. It was a very boring life for him, but not one that he didn't enjoy, considering there was always food available, and he LOVED food. He was, indeed, eighteen pounds, and that is quite large for a cat.

One day - it was a Monday - Buttons heard a scuttling noise coming from the kitchen. Only the tall man and himself were presently at home, so he decided to investigate. He began to lumber toward the noise, when he was distracted by none other than the food bowl! That would never do; he must relieve himself of temptation, like the good soldier that he was.

"Buttons! Look - a rat!" exclaimed a voice from behind him. The tall man was there. Dang it... Buttons snarled and the man walked away; nonetheless, he turned around. A mouse scurried out from behind one of the lowest kitchen cabinets. The tiny rodent stopped before Buttons' nose and dropped a small piece of cheese it had stolen.

"EEKKKK!" screamed the mouse. What large, threatening teeth the monster mouse had! It must be at least three sizes larger than normal mice. Buttons tripped over his paws.

"Ahhh!" he yelled.

"EEEPPPP!" shrieked the terrified mouse, staring into what he thought was his doom.

"AHHHHH!" echoed Buttons. The mouse stood erect and placed one tiny paw on his hip.

"You're new at this, aren't you?" it questioned. One eyebrow was raised judiciously on his tiny features. It crawled toward the shaking trash can Buttons had hidden himself behind. A loud, annoying sound made the tabby cautiously peek his head around the garbage can. There was a whole army of mice! And they were...laughing at him!

Buttons' bushy tail suddenly became rigid and stiff. His whiskers and ears pressed flat against his head. His thin mouth curled back into a snarl. "Alright...so I'm not the bravest cat around," he hissed, trying to sound threatening. His efforts to sound dignified and intimidating were useless; everything he said seemed to come out with an undesirable squeak.

The first mouse he had seen gained composure of himself and he stepped forward courageously. "My name is Herald. I think we might be able to help you here, Buttons, if you're willing to make a deal." Buttons' emerald eyes widened.

"You know my name already?" he whispered, astounded. These were no ordinary monster-mice mocking him mercilessly. They were mystical, mysterious monster-mice mocking him mercilessly! He closed his gaping mouth and tucked his furry tail under him, sitting erect.

"Should we tell him his name is on his water bowl?" whispered a random mouse to his friend. His friend shook his head with a small giggle.

"For years, mice have been persecuted by cats everywhere. If we can teach you to be brave and strong, will you stick up for us to other cats?" Herald proposed.

"Yes, Mystic Mouse Man," Buttons said solemnly.
