The First Permanent English Settlement (something i had to writh for school)

In 1607 the hopeful Englishmen founded the Jamestown Settlement in the new world. Jamestown was the first English settlement in Virgina. They struggled to survive, because they did not know how to farm. The English did not work much, because they traveled in search of riches. Jamestown would not have survived if it were not for Captain John Smith. Captain Smith knew how to trade and have peace with the Indian's. He wisely created a smart rule "He who will not work shall not eat!" Even though the Englishmen could not find Gold, they still had a successful colony. Jamestown is still a city in Virginia today. And it was the first permanent English settlement in the New World.

This is a writing i had to write for school, i hope you enjoyed it!

Poem on America

Here is poem about America (it's all most like a poem, not fully tho)

America Land of:

Beautiful shimmering seashores
With white sand beaches

Deep and dark forests

Majestic Mountains

Cool and sparkling rivers
That are amusing and refreshing

America, land of
Courageous and thoughtful people who love freedom

A really cool Rock!

Someone sent it in a e-mail!

Can't believe this was done by a teenager!!

There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos. (all angles) of the rock.

I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.





















Here's the artist
Ray 'Bubba' Sorensen.



AWESOME Work, RAY...
Thank you!
' God Bless America '
and
'OUR SOLDIERS AND VETS'




We have one of these types of rocks near our house, next time i'm near there i'll take some pics (but i have never seen any thing as cool as this on the one near our house!)

Good news, and Bad news, Did you know?

I am sooooo mad because we can't go to TN like we were hopping for :(

The reason why we can't go is because my dad hurt his finger playing basketball (i feel really bad for him), and he will most likely need surgery! :(

I finish school in 2 weeks!!!!! yippie!!!!! i can't wait!

Did you know (that from where we live) you can go to Chicago by bus for $11 a seat!

ttly!

Funny History lesson of the day!

I got sent this in an e-mail!



Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with
civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.




John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.




Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe ,
Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with
Marilyn Monroe.







Here is what you can do whith a $20 bill!


1) Fold a NEW PINK $20 bill in half...




2) Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below




3) Fold the other end, exactly as before





4) Now, simply turn it over...





What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!!!

COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE


As if that wasn't enough. Here is what you've seen...


Firstly
The Pentagon on fire...




Then
The Twin Towers.


...And now .. look at this!




TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL

It gets even better!! 9 + 11=$20!!


This is too interesting to pass up!


Tell me how you like it!

I loved it!

Enjoy:)

Long time...no writing!

It's been sort of a long time since i wrote here :(

I have not posted the pictures on the blog yet, because it takes a very long time to up load them, because of our computer! (it's really old!)

Let's see........what am i up too???.....um.....

Most of the same old stuff...school....babysitting....going to Church.....and some other things.

Yesterday when i went church, we had to go at 9:15 instead of 10:15, because my parents are in the New Member Class, so me and Elizabeth went to the Middle School Bible Study, and I actually meet some people! And i felt like i knew some people! (We have been going there for a year or more, and i just meet my first friends!) So that was my fun thing yesturday :)

Babysitting is going good too :)

When are you ending school??

I am ending at different times (because i started different subjects at different times)

I don't think i have much more to say....Wait i do have one more thing..


Happy Mothers day mom! (a little late!)
Your the best mom i could
ever wish for!

Tip of the Day

Here is the tip of the day....and it actually works :)

Do you know how you get frustrated when you get an oil stain on a piece of your clothing?

Well...

When you use dish soap and rub it on the shirt after you get it wet....and then you rinse it out...then wash and dry (don't dry it if it is a shirt that you do no put in the dryer) it. Tell me how it works for you! i tried it today of one of my shirts and it worked really well!
