We are now back from a vacation
We witnessed my cousin’s wedding, visited our other cousin’s graduation party, stayed with our Grandparents, and played backgammon, watched the Disney channel (for the first time in a long time), and had fun with Ben. All of this took place in Iowa. On our way up to Iowa we went to Branson, Missouri, and also visited the “Tom Sawyer” caves in Hannibal, Missouri. (The Tom Sawyer Caves are the caves that the caves in the book was based on (the caves Mark Twain grew up in). I got a really cool pocket comb there that acts as if it is a switch blade. I LIKE IT! 
After leaving Iowa, we journeyed to Chicago, dropped Ben off at a reeeeeally cool accelerator movie that looks like a sci-fi movie set everywhere you go, pretty much. We also encountered a rough group of young people at Ben’s apartment lobby while playing backgammon, pool, and basketball. It was rather sad, witnessing a twelve year old acting the way he did.
But, let’s put aside those dismal things and discuss pie. I ate oreo pie. Yum. (In Chicago).
And then, we came back home.
And…
Lincoln would think this was cool…
(And I do too)
THEY WERE SHOWING THE ACTUAL CATHY RIGBY PETER PAN SHOW IN BRANSON!!!!!!!!!
But, sniff, I didn’t get to see it because it wasn’t showing until only a week later. Pooey. Pretty cool, though, huh?
And then, we came home.
The End.
(this was a funny post )
I hope to post my book soon, by the way. Don’t worry!

Alright! Yes, Lincoln is right and I should post some more of my book…so…here I go!

Well, before I do, I’d like to get everyone up to date on what happened previously in my book.
Oh yah, and everybody welcome Aubrey to our site. Yay! She’s currently reading my book and has participated in the Novel writing challenge as well…so she knows how it is to do this kind of thing.
WARNING: IF YOU HAVEN’T READ ALL PREVIOUSLY POSTED CHAPTERS, DON’T READ THE FOLLOWING.
1 My first chapter started with a great word count, and Edward annoyed at his job.
2 We peek into Edward’s office life, and a glimpse at Edward’s newfound friends
3 We get a really good glimpse at Edward’s friends
4 More strange things happen with Edward’s newfound friends, concerning popcorn and his peacock friend.
5 We delve into Oliver’s childhood and then find that it was all made up by Pooey (these are Edward’s newfound friends)
6 More dialogue and word count racking at this point…not much of a plot unfolding here…
7 Finally, Peaky gets mad and sends him to where he was supposed to go in the first place
And now, No. eight….enjoy!
