Sploosh aka A Leaf's Journey

Floating, floating, flitting to and fro,
A leaf dancing in the wind.
Twisting, twirling, the wind makes it go,
A leaf dancing in the wind.

Wandering, wandering, diving through the sky,
A leaf blowing in the wind.
Tossing, turning, passing the world by,
A leaf blowing in the wind.

Deftly, deftly, the leaf starts to drop,
A leaf falling in the wind.
Softly, slowly, coming to a stop,
A leaf's journey ends.

Don't forget to go look at my other new post right below this one! its quite funny!

The Rhyming Adventures of Capm Bonnie and Kakiedoo

Capm Bonnie: Haha you’re so sharp. A fish is a carp. Do you have a tarp? How bout a harp??

Kakiedoo: yes of course I am sharp, and I do have a tarp, but I am afraid I do not have a harp.You are so very creative. To writing it seems you are native.

Capm Bonnie: Thats all very swell, for you who are well informed to tell me of...snails....? Ok that was a fail.

Kakiedoo: Well, you gave a good try, which is better than to die. At least you’re not shy!

Capm Bonnie: It seems I can’t find my sanity of mind. I left it behind, in a hole well-defined.

Kakiedoo: My that was a quick shower. You are probley now as pretty as a flower!

Capm Bonnie: If I were a flower, bright, to be, I'm pretty sure i'd be a weed!

Kakiedoo: Maybe so, Maybe not. But you should be in a flower pot.

Capm Bonnie: A pot in which to mold and rot? I beg thee not, I beg thee not!

Kakiedoo: No not a pot to rot and mold. A pot in which for you to grow old. Or something....maybe its for you to be cold?

Capm Bonnie: Lol, a pot that I can grow old in. Thats something to look forward to! What happened to growing old gracefully? “Uh...I grew old in a flower pot.....”

Kakiedoo: Haha I totally just laughed out loud. Wow. That was like super funny for some reason.

Capm Bonnie: But speak not of flowers and growin old- elves live in trees or so I’m told. What would you do if you were a grape? And why are you holding that silver duct tape?

Kakiedoo: I am a grape you say? I hold it because it is my way. Not tell me my banana friend. Why are you staring at the end?

Capm Bonnie: The end? The end? The end of what? A cinnamon stick? A cigarrette butt? Endings scare me worse than a bell, for they never seem to work out well.

Kakiedoo: Oh gosh. I am going all giddy now. I am like laughing and I can’t stop. All because of the end.

Capm Bonnie: The end? The end? Oh say it not, my dear grape friend! Id rather have a mercedes bend! Or a fashion trend! Or a fragrant wind! But save me from the dreaded end!

Kakiedoo: Oh stop, please stop! Please stop before I blow my top! I need to settle down. Before I turn into a clown!

Capm Bonnie: Your face is turning shades of blue! Hey, that ones my moms favorite hue! I want to win, I hate to lose. A clown you say! You got the shoes!

Kakiedoo: No its not. Its not its not. I would rather not sit in a rotten old flower pot! Shoes? Shoes? Who needs shoes? I can go without shoes whether I win or lose!

Capm Bonnie: Well, fine don’t sit in this flower pot! How about this nice.....green cot?

Kakiedoo: Why green? Why a cot? Why can’t it be a pink pot? I like pots you know. Even when it snows. (Not that snow has anything to do with it!)

Capm Bonnie: I just hope you don’t trip up or have a spastic hiccup. I think I’d better lick up some food I failed to pick up. WORD! Ok, no I am done!

Kakiedoo: oh but don’t really stop! Go on to the end! Go onto the end of the pot! Please make sure it doesn’t bend!

Capm Bonnie: The end? The end? I fear it may descend upon those who don’t defend the mice who like to mend things, like cinderellas dress.

Kakiedoo: I think I shall save these funny messages! Tomorrow I shall write them all down!

Capm Bonnie: Lol good idea! Then you could keep them forever, a mass of really worthless treasure!

Kakiedoo: Worthless maybe. But funny nonetheless. Why I know I will always want to read about the nice mice who mended cinderellas dress!

Capm Bonnie: lol fo sho. Them mice were rockin the seams! And who could forget the dreaded flower pot...ah those were the good ol days before the end. Psh of course! You silly horse! But do not force me to discourse...uh...look a squirrel at 12 at night!

Kakiedoo: My dear banana friend. I do believe you got off course. Down there near the end. Funny, funny, how bout a funny bunny? Bugs bunny I say, he is the funny bunny.

Capm Bonnie: a bunny he is, and funny he be, whether he live in a hole or a tree- rabbits are all the same to me. Me and my friend Robert E. Lee

Kakiedoo: a bunny I have, but in a tree or hole be he not. He be in a rabbit hutch. Perhaps I should put him in a flower pot.

Capm Bonnie: lol * in gollum voice* yes the pot, to mold and rot, where all the bad hobbitses go! There he’ll go blind and eventually find that there isn’t such a thing as snow!

Kakiedoo: and there we go. Back to the end. To the end of the cinnamon stick who would not bend!

Capm Bonnie: the cinnamon stick? That fool was sick! And thick, in the mind, the creep. He thought he was slick, and wooed a poor chick, so mama hen ate him in his sleep.

Kakiedoo: oh dear oh dear! What a story! To me it seems its dreadfully gory!

Capm Bonnie: it does indeed and violent too! Perhaps I shant mention the bugs bunny stew?

Kakiedoo: no no you shouldn’t. That just wouldn’t be prudent( not that prudent has anything to do with it) oh dear me dear you! Its awfully late! I do believe we should sign off and meet our fate!

Capm Bonnie: I suppose we shall, my elven grape friend. So, alas, good night I bid you THE END. * dramatic bow: trips and falls*

Kakiedoo: Nighty night my banana friend! I shall talk to you after the end.....of something

Capm Bonnie: lol ciao and have a goodnight!

Kakiedoo: Haha you too!


Hope you enjoyed it! lol

Campout 2009

So this past weekend, our church had its annual campout. This year it was at the San Marcus River Retreat( formerly known as Pecan Park Campgrounds). As usual it was a BLAST! So here I will tell you what we did each day.

Friday:
Arrive, unload. Head off to Kreutz for an AMAZING barbecue lunch, of the best sausage in the world, bread, pickles(nice sour ones!!) and Big Red. Otherwise known as Hot Guts and Red Sody Water :) Our friends the Ricks and John Boriack, joined us for lunch there. When we got back, we set up camp(set up tents, kitchen( which was a canopy with a table under it :) and stuff). After that, my friends, Melody, Molly, Laura, Ashlyn, Marissa, and myself headed off to the river to cool off and have fun! We went swimming for awhile. The part of the river next to the campsite is the BEST place to swim! Its so much fun! There is a shallow part with lots of rocks where all the little kids can play, then it gets deeper with a little bit of rapids where the older kids (or anybody who knows how to swim well) can swim! There are a couple of ropeswings there also. So that is what we did most of the afternoon. When we finally decided to get out, we played frisbee and kicked a ball back in forth. Or at least Molly, Melody, Laura, Kate, Grace, Mr. Humes(Laura, Kate and Graces dad), and I did. Soon after that, Christie arrived! So of course we all went swimming again! Great fun! Pretty soon, it was time for dinner. So we all went to our respective campsites and ate some YUMMY dinners. After dinner we hung out, watched the older kids and parents play volleyball, talked, you know....just hung out! Anyways, later that evening....actually it was probley around I don't know....8:30 we gathered around one of the campfires and sang worship songs to our gracious Saviour! Then, we(meaning most of the kids 12 and up) went a played card games....but we tired of that fairly quickly and changed to Big Llama....which didn't last long at all......to confusing :) So, we just sat around and talked and eventually got to the topic of nicknames....so we went around the circle....or whatever shape it was...and shared out nicknames..... Wow....some of them were QUITE funny! But anyways....time flew by and at about oh I don't know....11:30, maybe 12:00, we decided to head to bed. For me, Ashlyn, Christie and Melody....that meant get our our sleeping bags, pillows, and mats and lay them out on the ground....under what we wished were stars...but alas was only clouds.... We talked for awhile...then REALLY decided we should go to bed for real. So we all fell asleep. Oh wait....I forgot....during our talking in bed we heard a loud rustling in the woods right next to us. We didn't see anything but we think it was a couple of armadillos fighting....Anyways...THEN we fell asleep.

Saturday:
Us girls on the ground woke up at around 6:30 or so....except for Melody anyways...who slept in till about 8:40 I think :) Anyways....Christie and I headed off to the showers( I know...its kinda cheating to have showers on a campout....but :) Not sure where Ashlyn went.....oh wait...dur...she went with me and Christie!!! Haha. So...after that....we had breakfast. Mine was eggs, bacon, and fried onions...YUMMMMMMMY!!!! Then, after breakfast, Christie and I decided to join the game of volleyball that was being played. So we played that until it was time to get ready for the canoe trip. When everyone that was going on the trip was ready and gathered together, we walked up to the Canoe Livery, just next to the campsites, and got our boats, lifejackets, paddles...ect. Except for me, Molly, Melody, and Christie. We used our canoe that we brought. Everyone else rented canoes or kayaks. When we finally made it to the place where we put our canoes in, we all got situated. In our canoe, Molly and Melody started out paddling, while Christie and I sat in the middle, relaxing :) But don't worry we switch later on :). So we did pretty good for awhile.....but....yes, we did have out moments...like when our canoe went sideways...and when we ran into the bridge, and when we got caught sideways on a log underwater and almost flipped, and when our canoe went sideways again, and when the other canoers, who were supposed to help us and make sure us "ladies" were ok :):) splashed us and rammed into us...and made us run into things and stuff.....Yeah...the list of our mishaps....could go on :) But hey...it was fun :) And I think we all enjoyed it alot. There was one part of the trip....where everyone else was WAAAAAYYY ahead of us except for one canoe which was WAAAAAAYYYY behind us....where we were all by our lonesomes..wondering where everyone had gone...but we decided if we just followed the river...we should be ok...right??? haha......during that lonesome stretch, we encounted with many other canoers and kayakers...who weren't "our people" as we described them. They kinda just popped up out of nowhere then dissappeared. It was weird. :):) Anyways, we FINALLY caught up with people whenever it was time to portage our canoes....we pretty much stayed pretty close with them for the rest of the trip....but not always :) Oh yeah...somewheres in there Christie and I switched with Melody and Molly so they could have a break. Also, at one of the places where we had to portage our canoes, it was 3 dams. They were kinda like steps...for those of you who were there...you will know what I mean when I say the Shoots. For those of you who weren't...well, just use your imaginations. Anyways...what I am getting at is that, when we portaged there we got to take a break and go swimming there. So we got our lifejackets and held on to them and went down the "waterfalls" of the dams. It was alot of fun. But too soon, we had to move on. So yeah...that was somewhere in the middle of all our mishaps :) Finally, the 5-6 hr canoe trip, came to an end. We ended up back at our campsites. After we had unloaded all our stuff from the canoes....alot of us went swimming again. Then we decided that we wanted to go back to the Shoots. So eventually we got a group together and a couple of adults to come with us and went back. This time we brought tubes as well as lifejackets. So sometimes we went down in the tubes. I thought it was alot of fun in the tubes :) Well, anyways, I should move on....this is going to be one very long post :) So, when we got back from the Shoots...we played volleyball some more, and Melody, Christie, and I went on a walk in the woods....and we all did some more hanging out...eating....playing games...and such. Then as it was getting darker we decided to play Cops and Robbers, and freeze tag. And games like that. So that was alot of fun... But eventually the games kinda died out and all that was left playing them was the little kids. So all of us older kids kinda gathered around and talked.....As it got later the group got a little smaller as people went to bed. Eventually we moved out into the field and decided to try playing Big Llama again. It worked ok....but we were all tired and kinda grumpy so we gave up after like...5 minutes. Then, we really split up....Lots more people went to bed...so, Christie and I(who were the only ones that wanted to sleep outside again) went and fixed our beds up and went to sleep. No idea when everyone else went to bed. Unfortunatly....that night it rained...so in the middle of the night...I think around 4:30 am. So Christie and I hurredly grabbed all our stuff and made some room in one of the Boriacks tent for us to sleep. We fell asleep fast since we were so tired from our long day.

Sunday:
This time we woke up around 7:15. Christie and I did our morning routine...then sat around the Boriacks campfire waiting for our breakfast's to be done. Finally they were and we ate....then all the familys gathered around again so we could do some more worship and have a "service". That was nice. People shared what God had shown them throughout the weekend, and what they had read in their Bible's recently, and stuff like that. Also, Mr. Anderson(our pastor) told everyone to group up in groups of 5 or 6 or 7, and talk about what we liked most about camping. Then we all came together and shared what we had come up with. Some of the things that people came up with were kinda funny...like the sound of the zipper on the tent ....haha! After that...some of the familys had to leave so they packed up and left, but some like us, decided to stay around for a little while. So I got to go swimming one last time. Along with, Molly, Laura, and Ashlyn. Melody had already left. I think Marissa had too... and Christie was packing up. After swimming I helped my family finish packing up and we left....and that pretty much wraps up our campout....
