Sorry I have not wrote in along time but Ive been pretty busy, In the past week my great grandma moved in with us, and we got Ducks. I'm glad she moved in with us though, Because she did not like staying in the nursing home, and now I can get to know her. I did not get to see her much when I was little I only remember seeing her two times, that I remember. And since she has moved down here I have grown really close to her, Before she went in the nursing home she was living with my mea-mal (grandma) Well I stayed the night with her once, and that's all it took. She told me all the story's of when she was younger and when she worked as a cook. She showed me how to sew these really neat things, I'm not sure what they are called. We went to bed a 8:09 P.M. I will never forget because that is like the earlyest I have ever went to bed, Well I woke up at 7:55 (which is early for me) and she said (man you slept late you must have needed the sleep) and then she asked what I wanted for breakfest, and I dont usally eat when I first get up, so I told her I dont know. Well she went in the kichten and decided since I stayed the night with her that she was gonna fix a big breakfest, She fixed eggs, toast, fried spam, and she made me hot tea. That was the first time I had ever had sunny side up eggs, and I tell you they were gross, but I ate them anyway because I did not want to hurt her feelings. But we spent the hole day together, talking about anything and everything. Well and now she lives with us, and I am glad she does. Now the Ducks story. Logan Christophers friend had came over here to play with him, well he was talking about the chicks he got for Easter, and well he told Christopher he could have one if he wanted one. So Christopher came running inside asking if he could get a baby chicken, and mama told him no that we had tried chickens before and no one liked them, So Kelley says well why don't we get a duck ive always wanted a duck. Well as soon as daddy gets home from work Christopher runs up to him and ask if he can have a chicken, well daddy came inside and asked what in the world Christopher was talking about. Well he went down to granny A's (other great grandma) to get a t.v. box. Well mama called the store and asked if they had any ducks, and they said no but they could order some. Well so then she calls another store and ask, and they said yes they had some but thats all they were getting and they were closing in thirty minutes, so we called daddy at Granny A's and he said i'll be home in a minute. So we begged him, and he finaly said yes. So we hurry up and got to the store, and Christopher picks out a Yellow duck and named him old yeller, Kelley picked out a black and yellow duck and named her Lucy, and I picked out a Black and Yellow duck too I named him Ben. But I think that was the best Easter prensent ever, they are so much fun. We let them swim for the first time today, because we cant leave them outside they are to little they will freeze to death, but anyway we took them out side to swim and they loved it, they did not want to get out of the water.
