filling in the gaps

I photographed the luminaria on Memorial Day.
















I went to a friend's graduation party...and realized it'll be my turn in two years.


I attended Timothy's bridging over--translation, he went from wolf scout to Webelos (the final level before he becomes a boy scout)


I found out that Lloyd Alexander had died on May 17th. It was a sad discovery.
When I was about 12, I read nearly all of his books. I've always loved fantasy. My dad read The Hobbit to me at age seven (Thanks, Dad!), and I read the entire Chronicles of Narnia at age eight. I was hooked. Lloyd Alexander's books only assured me that my love of fantasy was not to go unrewarded. Now I get to watch my brothers read them.


And finally, I entered two pieces in the teen art show at our library.

Books

I've been reading ever since I can remember, and in the last few years I've acquired a lot of books. My grandparents built these the other day as a late birthday present. I was thrilled, and stayed up en extra hour shelving books.

They wrap around my room, and I filled them almost halfway.

Before you watch the Eragon movie coming out this December, please, please go read the book.








and don't forget the sequel.
