OLYMPICS!

Hi!

Do any of you guys watch the Olympics?   My family sure does!!  So we stayed up and watched the opening ceremony.   They had James Bond *Danial Craig* skydive into the stadium.  I think (maybe. It might have been a double) that the Queen did to.  I keep going back and forth between "She did" and "She didn't".   Okay just checked she did have a double!

My brother's Olympic hero is Micheal Phelps.  Do any of you know who he is??  I'll give you a hint!  He's one the gold medal 14 times:-D

Who is YOUR Olympic hero?

P.S.  Look for new posts on the games!

A dream come true

Hello everyone!

Your probably wondering about the title...  Well, I would too:-)  'Splaination: It has been a dream of mine to see a profesional play.  And last night I got to see one!!!!!!!  

A P.A.L.O.A. production play of Rogers and Hammerstine's musical, "South Pacific"!!! 

Why I wanted to got to this peticular play:  I've got a friend, his name is Conner, and he is around 10 years old.  His mom told me that he was is "South Pacific" and that she really thought that I would enjoy it.  Being his friend of course I would want to go, secretly knowing that this was one of my dreams, I asked my parents if I could see it. 

Summery: Things weren't looking promising untill my mom (and aunt) suprised me with telling me I could go.  So yesterday I got the tickets and I got to go with my aunt, uncle, cousin, and two of the best grown-up friends I've got:-) 

I knew I would like it.  But I didn't know I would LOVE it!!!!!!  The lighting. Beautiful music.  Lovely dancing.  Breathtaking singing.  Adorable costumes.  Wonderful characters.  Friendly actors.  And realistic seenes!  It was so neat!!!   

Later!

Feel free to ask questions!

Thoughts and Dreams

Hi friends! 

Here's just some random stuff!

Dreams: Last night I had a dream. In the dream I had a blog called,"The Cuteness of Angery Cupcakes."

Thoughts: When I woke up, the first 2 thoughts that came to mind was,"I like Greek Yogurt." and "It's pouring down rain." when it was actually really sunny.

Dreams:  I want to be a singer and actress, but I've got really bad stage fright and can't do it easily.

Thoughts: I think everyone should keep a diary or journal.  I do.  I've got one for everyday life and one for my writing atempts.

Dreams:  I want to be a big time writer.  I want to write a Sci-Fi saga kinda like Star Wars, but don't have that kind of imagination.

Thoughts:  While I was helping my siblings get firewood, I realized that it was part of God's plan.  The circle of life:  God grows trees, my dad chops tree down, we stack it to dry, we burn it, then more seedlings grow from the seeds of the tree we choped down. 

Dreams:  I wish I could read stuff out of books....  That probably sounds odd but if you had one wish, what super-power would you wish for?

Thoughts:  I'm probably posting one of the most boring posts ever....  So I'll blog off in another direction:-)

The way I think is the way I go.
Thoughts are the way I think I know.
What if the thoughts I think are wrong?
I'll need to stop and listen to natures song,
What if the thoughts I think are true?
Than I would be standing near by you.
What about my hopes and dreams?
They both work together as they would have to it seems.
But what if they didn't work together?
I'd be as clueless as the thought of never.

Poems.

A poem of lightning

 

 

 

It's forked tounge licked the earth,

It's stomach rumbled low and feirce,

Little children screamed and hid,

Afraid of what would happen to what next was desired,

In spite of its full ugly girth,

The greedy thing longed for fear,

Then a prayer was spoken so to get rid,

Of the frightning roar and tounge of fire.

 

 

A gust of wind-a puff of cloud,

Brought forth the sun,

On earth it smiled,

God blessed the children who gathered near,

He blessed the babies and got rid of the sound,

But God, He held dear the one,

Who prayed, cast out, and defiled,

The evil known to us as fear.

 

 

 

A poem of books

 

 

 

Oh the pages of a book!

For adventure, not far will you have to look,

For love, flip two pages more,

For sadness go the the books center, its core,

Get another book for tales,

Of kings, and queens, and peasnts wailes,

You might meet the elven folk,

Or even learn what the faries hope,

You might find a magic door,

Where there's peace or sometimes war,

Those who read are not absured.

We know the importance of a word.

 

What do you think of them?  I wrote them on "spure of the moment" writing spree last night because of the lightning keeping me up...

Tell me what you think!!!!!!

Madeline

P.s.  I'm going to try to get on later.  There is something I'm wanting to post about....

Lightning

"Maddie!  Maddie wake up!  Wake up!"
Someone was shaking my shoulder.
I opened my eyes.  They were cloudy from being jerked from sleep. 
I looked at the silhouette in front of me. 
I then recognized the unruly and curly red hair of my sister Allison. 
"Why did you wake me up?  What time is it?" I looked at the clock. 
"5:21!  You woke me up at 5:00 in the morning?  Why in the wor-"
All of the sudden there was a bright flash and a loud booming crack.
"Did the lightning storm last all the way through the night?!?!?!?"
"Yup.  You missed the big ones.  I'm suprised you slept through them at all."
(I'm a really good sleeper:-)  And I don't get up unless it's my alarm for 7:00.)

Right before I fell asleep, a lightning storm was just begining.

"Wanna go out to the living room to watch it where we can see it better?"
"Sure." My sister said. 

So we went out and watched lightning till 6:00. 
Then we started watching Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffeth, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Gunsmoke, and then Bonanza:-)
The lightning storm has been going on since 11:00 last night.  And we are getting it around our house again.

Later!

Michael Landon

Hello!

This post is going to be about one of my all time favorite actors.  Michael Landon.
Landon is best known for the charecters Charles Ingles in Little House on the Prarie, and Little Joe Cartwright in Bonanza.  Here are pictures of Landon at 22 years while filming Bonanza.



And the whole Cartwright family.

From left to rigth.  Adam (Big brother), Little Joe, Ben (father), And Big Hoss (Big brother).  For some reason Joe was always waering the green coat......

And Pa Ingles;

This is one of those picture posts........................   Oh well!!!!!!!  

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Micheal Landon!

Signing out,

Madeline

Random things~

Hello!!!!!

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while!  We have been busy:-)
 
My sister Allison just had her 11th birthday on the 27th last month,
Have to get firewood (we have a wood stove),
Had some friends up on Friday and I didn't have time to get on,
We don't really get on the computer on Saturdays,
Went to guitar lessons.
My guitar teacher wants me to sing!
I've got really bad stage fright.  

The song I'm going to sing is "We Are" by Kari Jobe.  It's a good song:-)
I read my Bible this morning and was flipping through Psalms when I found a verse about David asking for courage.  I can't remember the verse at the moment....  Any ways, while at guitar lessons my teacher asked me to sing a verse of the song I chose ("We Are").  I'm glad that I read my Bible this morning!  My mom said she was proud of me for singing a verse.  I wanted to choke up so bad! 10 seconds of insane courage helps alot sometimes:-) 

The 4th is coming up!  What are you going to do, wear, eat, and light off?  If I don't blog until after the 4th I just want to say Happy Independence Day now while I can:-)

Later!
Madeline

P.S.  I hope you don't take me talking of my courage as braging!  I mean it like "God really helped me":-)
