Ending of the semester and my stay with Cassie

Wow, so college life with Cassie has been a lot of fun! But it is coming to a close. She's taking her finals this week, which means that I have to go back to the shelf by the computer until our family goes on a trip or another.

While living with Cassie, I've learned a lot of things. The other day she had me help her make dinner. I also helped make coffee this morning - man is she grumpy with out her coffee. I never knew how complicated life was for college students - classes, studying, homework, trying to take care of yourself, and attempting to have friends- it's a wonder they get any sleep at night. Me I like my 8 hours of sleep.

I tried to read about some of the stuff Cassie is studying, so maybe I could talk with her about it. Wow some of that stuff is difficult! However, I was very encouraging while she was working on all those papers she had to write. She had me sit by her keyboard to talk to her while she was typing.

I was also able to hang out with my friend Teddy the other evening. He got a new car to play with. He actually let me ride! I'm going to miss spending time with him this summer. He and Nyla have to go back to their home.

Hello!

Hello friends and fellow travlers!

My name is Lawndart and I was adopted by a wonderful family last summer during their trip to Montana. It has been desided that I need a place to tell of my wonderful adventures. With the help of my big sister I have been given that oppertunity (hooray).

My family is very good to me. I have been on several adventures since joining their number.

I was adopted in North Dakota. It was the youngest child, Joe's birthday. He was really missing his two siblings who stayed home. Joe was driving his mother crazy, so she needed something to keep him busy and his mind off his siblings. Enter me!

I went the rest of the way out west with them, and made some friends along the way. I did my job well, Joe and I had a wonderful time. Even being used for target practice. He taught me many things; like how to play Xbox games and cribbage.

Later that summer my sister, Cassie, had to go on a "field trip" to an archaeastronomical site. (archaeo - ancient; astronomy - the study of the skies; archaeoastronomy - the study of how the ancients studied the skies). So we went to the Cahokia mounds. I had a lot of fun! I hiked all the way up to the top if Monks Mound. 100+ stairs is a little difficult for short legs like mine. But I made it up (hooray). I was really thirsty when i finally made it back down.

Life was peaceful, but I got a little restless just sitting around in the house. I need to travel it's key to my exhistance. So Joe talked to Cassie, and at Thanksgiving I moved to college with her. Granted I still did a lot of sitting, but I got to meet new people. Plus Cassie needed a helper. I think she would have gone a little crazy if I hadn't been here to help her out.

I learned how to cook and how hard physics is. I tried living the "college life" but it didn't sit well. So I will be heading home soon - hopefully I'll get out a little more this time around.

That is all for now. I hope to update as the traveling season begins!

PEACE OUT AMIGOS!













I have more pictures from my adventures but that will have to wait for another day.
