Mariel and Cornflower are painting their room. They are thrilled. Mother Auma is helping.

Mariel and I were trying to sound out the do-re-mi's to Pippin's song "All shall fade" and a friend of mine sent me a link to the song online. Now I have both the do-re-mi's and the lyrics. Yay!

My story is undergoing inordinate yet necessary revision.

I'm reading the Mitford books, along with Mother Auma and my Grammy. My favorite characters are Cynthia Coppersmith Kavanagh and Hope... what's her name? Hope Winchester?... from the Happy Endings Bookstore.

This summer I've been in theater, as Charlotte of Charlotte's Web, the schoolteacher from The Pied Piper, and Despina (Ariel) from The Little Mermaid, and I finally have all my scripts memorized!!!
Now Mother Auma wants me to memorize Romans 8.

It's a lot of fun to take a really simple outfit and add things like fancy earrings or a scarf to make it totally different. I bought some really pretty earrings but every time I'm about to wear them, I think, "These earring are just way too fancy for today. I'll wear them to church or something."

Thumper Pasque Hyzenthlay Thethuthinnang, otherwise known as Thumper or the Thumpress, has found a lovely game to play with me when it's too hot for her to go outside. I open her cage door, then I lie down in the middle of the room with a book and pretend I don't know she's there. She will bounce out of the cage, thump, race to me, take a flying leap over me and then zip under the bed, emerging at frequent intervals to growl at her enemy the Evil Smiley-Faced Pillow or to jump over me again.

That's everything that came to mind!
