Perhaps We Skip the Title This Time?

well, it seems that my blog keeps getting forgotten, and even when i do post, it is of petty things, and of little interest. i hate to disappoint, but so it will be again. someday, in the near future i hope, i shall do a long post on things of some consequence. but time is once again limited, so this will be but a few pictures.


as you can see, unless you have slow internet and the pictures did not load, that we had a good time making and eating s'mores.  i am sorry i cant spell it. but you can probably guess, the things with gram cracker, cooked marshmallows and chocolate.

the passing by of time.

well time continues to pass bye, too quickly for some, and not near fast enough for others. but it seems that no matter how hard we try to build time machines, we can't change the speed time goes by.  and so, before i  knew it, time passed, and i had not posted. well, forgive me, time goes by for me too.

many things have happened. i fixed my bike up. wrote chapters two and three on my newest novel, and latest, won a mini tournament.


yesterday i started reading 'Orthodoxy' by G.K. Chesterton. it is really really good so far. 

it rained all of this year. Yes, all three days of it.

 As the title says, it has rained every day this year. and has for once been cold. we were all wearing sweatshirts this morning. maybe it was a little over kill. but all the same, we were wearing them.
also, we had family pictures taken. and this is what we came up with.
i had a bunch i was going to say, but i completely forgot what it was. i guess i will have to do another post tomorrow. 

the seat cover coming off is on purpose. my dad and i recovered it, and put more foam on. and i just road it in between.
