Fair Oaks Farm

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Sorry for the hold up, I just got home from school, which we went on a field trip to Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. It was fun. My group and other groups got to see a cow give birth to twins. One boy and one girl. I stopped reading the Young Wizards, because Max wanted me to read the Alchemist, its a very well written book. Its the kind of book, that is suppose to change peoples lives. I’m half way through. I might not read the Young Wizards anymore. Its too long and I forgot what I read. Well that’s it. The birth thing was cool. See ya!

Recap

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

Hello,,

        I thought it might be smart to have a recap for all new readers and perhaps just to refresh old readers memories,, This blog is a Diary of Our Trip to New Zealand this coming October.  The Participants are: me- Max the Administrator, The Record Holder, the King-maker and All Around All Father.  The Twins-Timmy and Tommy, who by the way just turned 13 yoa. (Now I have to pay adult air fare, thanks boys ). We are huge Lord of The Rings Fans, who have been dreaming of traveling to NZ , where they filmed the movie. The Agreement by all involved is as Follows. The Twins must carry above average grades ie: A’s and B’s and I must pay for the whole kit and kaboodle ( both boys have since made the Honor Roll,, What the Hell was I thinking !!!!). The Trip , which includes a tour  Relaxing Journeys and plane fare is coming in around $16,000 ( again what the hell was I thinking?!!!!!!).  I have been working tirelessly to make this Dream and Promise a reality, I have worked almost all Days off, not including Mothers Day-I had to spend the Day with Mom, and so far everything is coming along nicely. We are at about 33% so far, not too shabby, but summer is around the corner and I really love Summer. So I’m a little worried.

A little recap about us- I just turned 40, work for The City, in an Emergency Service Position, which I hate by the way, way too stressful and chaotic . I love to read, watch movies and I’m big into Sci-fi. I love the out-doors, hiking and playing VolleyBall and Tennis and I’m completely devoted to my Wonderful Family (in other words , no social Life, hahahah).

The Twins are Extraordinary Boys who love to play baseball, football, ride their bikes all over town and enjoy hanging out with their old Uncle. Their Favorite Characters are Aragorn and Legolas, you will have to pull up an old post to read why.

This Summer is going to be very long and there will be few and far between posts, as there won’t be too much to talk about. I will try and make updates as much as I can. But I don’t want to inundate the reader with nothing to say, But Maybe soon I will write about my Favorite character too , and the reason why the Book and then the Movie are such an inspiration to my life, and how they have influenced my life. Believe me that story is an Eye Opener.  ‘ till next time Namarie
