| | Hi everybody! blah, blah, blah, etc.
Our school choir gave programs a few weeks ago. They went fairly well. Much of the credit goes to our great director, Lyle Stutzman. After both programs we had parties. In other words, after each program we had a blast hanging out late into the night and eating food.
A few weeks ago we had the ice storm thing happen. Kinda cool in more ways than one, not so cool in other ways. This was the not so cool part. Now that takes care of explaining what I did in Christmas break.
On the last day of school, we had a taffy pull. It was lots of fun and the taffy turned out really well. I helped mix the ingredients and stir it, so that might have been part of the reason for its success.
A week or so ago we had Christmas. All the relatives came over to our house and ate, etc.
We had a two week break from school, also know as Christmas vacation. I spent my "vacation" doing all sort of things. I read a lot. I read The Oath(Frank Perretti), A Painted House(John Grisham), The Rainmaker(John Grisham), and I started on The Broker. That was for your information.
A few days ago, we had a New Years Eve Party. We, also known as the youth group, watched Facing the Giants, performed bag skits, ate, etc. Everybody left the original party at two. Some of us decided that, that was simply to early. I transferred my membership over to another party. I left at four, feeling slightly, umm, uh, tired, you guessed it.
Warning: This next paragraph may contain boring content. Recently, I read some stuff about the new year. A lot of the stuff I heard was from people called trend watchers. They simply watch the trends over long periods of time and do lots of surveys and predict what will happen in the near future. So here are some of my predictions for 2008.
Economy- The economy will see the biggest change. Their will be an economical collapse. At midsummer the dollar will be worth a dime. Oil will be at $200 a barrel. Their will also be international economy problems.
Politically- Of course the big change is that the new president will be taking the throne, or something like that. I predict Barack Obama will be our next president, but who knows. I also predict people will want to have an early election because of the economy and the current president's actions(No offense to you Bush fans out there, but..).
Environmentally- Little change. Scientists predict a severe wind related storm this spring. I'm not sure if I agree with them.
Ok, safe for the public again. My siblings are all in Paraguay. They plan to come home on Tuesday. I might post a few pictures that they took, if I have the time.
On Friday we had a "jam" session at Jacob's house. Mucho fun.
Our school plans to go to the Underground Salt Museum on Tuesday.
With these thoughts in mind, I will close. Till next time, Arlyn
Here is a pic taken in the summer and posted because it's winter.
