Katherine: Anna, your name should be Indiana, you know Indi- ANNA!

    So are trip started out.

It wasn’t that great a car ride, actually it a pretty nasty car ride. I was sick the whole time! It was awful
Then the first day when we arrived at my Grandparents house in Indiana I was still sort of sick but by the next day (thanksgiving) I was better. It was fun, and then we stayed one more day and went home on another two day car trip wading through standstill, or almost standstill traffic, of people coming home from Thanksgivng trips. 

So here’s some pictures of us with our cousins. The last time I saw Emma she was seven and I’d never seen Caroline before.

Katherine, Caroline, Andrew, Elizabeth, Emma

Caroline loves to pose   =)

Katherine and Caroline had so much fun at the playground!

We all had a lot of fun on the playground. Playground tag, so awesome…

An Alex quote from the car ride home, in IHOP :
Mom: Alex you should get some vegtables
Alex: I’ve eaten lots of vegetables, all week, sweet potato and chocolate…

It was really cold up there the weather forecast said there might be snow, but there wasn’t

HAPPY THANKSGING !!!

Unless you are trying to finish a 50,000  word novel in that one month. Well if that’s all I were doing it would be easy! There’s just so many other things! There’s so much school, and orchestra rehearsals, and speech and debate, and other things that are just fun.

      It’s near the end of Novemeber, almost Thanksgiving. This time last year I was on the point of realizing that I only had 5,000 words in my novel. about four days later I was writing solidly trying to make the 50,000 word mark before the end of November… which even with all my valiant work… I failed

    Well, so what’s happened since I last posted?  I went to my first practice tournament of the year (and only one unfortunately) It was really fun! I won must of my rounds, whcih I wasn’t expecting. My impromptu speech wasn’t very scary, and I didn’t mess up on my DI, it was completely memorized It was a really fun practice tournament, and I had a lot of fun. I don’t have any pictures… oh well… Afterwards we went out to eat, that was fun too

   For thanksgiving we are going to visiting my grandparents. The whole ride up I will be writing on my NaNo novel, furiously trying to finish it When we get back it will be December… think of that. November will be over… We will have our Orchestra concert and the Messiah concert, my first piano ****** (ever!) and Christmas will be approaching…

I also just finished reading ‘ ‘Till We Have Faces ‘  by CS Lewis  if you’ve read it tell me what you thought of it! =)

Have you ever heard a song that you liked and then looked it up online to see if there’s a piece of free sheet music for it?
    Often you can find a piece of free sheet music for that song, such as ‘The Spinning Song’ for piano. But more often than not you can’t find what your looking for… At least I can’t.
Below are links for four sheet music sites, which don’t come up when you google ‘free sheet music’, they never have for me anyway.
