This last summer my family and I traveled to California and Oregon and 5 other states for 2 weeks in June. I had never been to that side of the USA and we had a blast. we did lots of exploring and hiking and camping. We even got to stay in a tree-house at the Treesort in Oregon. (I have a few photos for all of you.) we went zip-lining in the hilly forests at the Treesort and swam in a stream fed pool. The whole trip was a blast. we started out by visiting my brother in the Mojave Desert where he had an internship with Xcor Aerospace. It was definitely not the same feel as Minnesota. I had never been in a desert before.

The Hectic Adventure part 2
Well, when we got to our campsite we swam in the pool and just relaxed the rest of the day. (It was a very hot day in the SUV so we needed the nice time to relax.) The next day we were going to go tour embry riddle in the morning and walk around the campus.
The school was so big! They had tons of aeroplanes and some such things. My brother stayed with a student in the dorms that night to see what it was like, and he said that half the school were training to be pilots, an d half were training to be engineers. My brother is going to be an aerospace engineer, that's what he wants to major in. Then in the morning we met up with my brother and took a tour around. We saw flight simulators....
And lots of rocket, computer, space related stuff that I didn't take pictures of. My brother got to ride with a student in one of these planes for free. I was so envious. We all loved the school but my brother ended up going to Iowa state. then the rest of the week we had free to explore, and have fun in Florida. We went to the beach one of the day, and I would say that was the highlight of the whole trip. I LOVE the ocean! I loved going out to where there are the huge waves that are taller than me and try to ride them, and be sped along by the force. The speed the waves sent me was incredibale! But if I was caught off guard the wave s sometimes sent me into a cartwheel, head over heels. That made me swallow water. Not a good thing to go through. My family and I went walking along the shore and got our feet covered in sand which was very fine sand. We all had the time of our lives.
And that is the end!!!!!!! Of the post. not the adventure! Look for part 3!

All the music
Another thing is that my birthday was 3 days ago, and all the money I got for it is going to Marching band for next year.(You wouldn't believe how much it costs to be in the Marching band!) And once I save up for that, I have to start saving for a trip to florida that the band is taking next spring. Wow! I have never really had a need for money before, and now it seems that I can't do anything in this world without money.
And of course a random photo of me and my tuba!
Sorry for the long space where I did not write!

Walk around the Capital
Lots of people in this nation still believe that unborn babies are just pieces of lifeless tissue that can't feel the pain of death. And women across the country abort their babies because they didn't want motherhood, they only thought of present enjoyment. And because of Row v Wade, men don't have a say in their child's life. Mothers may choose to do with their bodies as they please even though it affects the father too. All this was said at the rally yesterday and it had an impact on me.
Maybe some of you went to a rally held in you state and heard these things as well. Some how I hope to help the cause of those protecting life. I add my voice for those who have none.

NaNoWriMo Sneak Peek
Now, I have done NaNoWriMo in years past and they all have been a blast, but I wanted this year to be more interesting that before. I had my novel planned before NaNo started and it was my dream plot. It was to be a sequel to last years novel which had fairies in it. Alas though, for this novel I had to wave good bye to the fairies and their Secret Forest. My main character had to find a new world. A land stuck in time. But I don't want to give too much away.
"Into the Secret Forest" was the first.
"Out of the Hidden Past" is the sequel.
"Through the murky Waters" is going to be the trequel*
Now I will give you a sneak peek into my novel. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Welcome to Dover Castle in Kent. (Pretend thats not where it is. Ok?) There is a castle in "Out of the Hidden Past" that just so happens to look like this. Cool isn't it?
*Trequel: A word I made up that means third in a series.

Medieval Fashions of the cat world (part two)
This hood hides its owner from the view of unwanted eyes and keeps the weather out. The one wearing it can go about the forest undetected. This is what all cats desire.
Never remove one's hood from their head, or BEWARE!

Medieval Fashions of the Cat World
This is a post written for the Maid Marian fashion event, all the costumes were hand crafted and designed specially for the event. Although it has a kitty twist!
This lovely cat is wearing what was very common among maids in the medieval era.
Note the lace around the collar, and the pink ribbon bow. The hat is as well of the medieval era.
In this view you can see the ruffled lace better around her collar. Her cape is made of a silky fabric. The cape can be worn in both winter and summer and should be worn to a fancy event.
This hat is normally not meant to cover cat ears, it is a real style but it looks like it is meant for a cat.
All cats in this fashion event are volunteers, they are getting paid the same amount salary as other models. The costumes were matched with their personality so they feel as comfortable in costume as possible. Come back tomorrow for more medieval cat fashion updates.
