13. What is the farthest back memory of you as a child? I remember when I would dash out of our house in the city running as fast as my 2 year old legs could carry me. I would run around the house until my siblings managed to hide behind a bush and catch me as I ran past! Or at either 2 or 3, climbing our tall book shelves to look at a star guide and then being really scared to climb back down! Or, hanging out the window when I was about 3 and I would call out greetings to the children as they got off the bus or, to "the lady who jingled her keys"!

16. Of all the states in the US how many have you been in? Um, lets see. I'll write them in the order that we went when we drove to CA and back. We started out in Michigan of course, then to. . . . Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, California, (then we went through NV again), Utah, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana. . . and then back to our good ol' Michigan home!!

I am writting this here at the market. Well, I'm out in the truck. Grace and were taking pictures outside by a lilac bush and then we came in by our table. I was sitting on a high black stool and I could feel something crawling under my sleeve. I sort of rubbed my arm where I felt "it" but then I did not feel "it" crawling anymore and I thought "it" probably fell out. All of a sudden I felt "it" crawling again then "it" stung me. Ouch! I pinched "it" in my sleeve took "it" over by Grace who squashed "it" and folded the fabric so "it" droped on the floor. "It" was an ugly yellow jacket/wasp of some kind. Ow! My arm was stinging so bad! Daddy went out to look for some plantain and after a while found some. I chewed up a leaf and put it on the sting. It still hurts a little, but when you chew plantain and put it on a sting it takes away the sting of the sting :D Have a great day everyone!
