Cars

A Jeep Ride

I spent most of today driving my mom around in my jeep. I am her own personal taxi driver. Taking her where she needs to go and for free. Well, I get a place to live and a car to drive in return. Plus, I enjoy driving her. Anything to get in my jeep and drive it around. I use to hate driving. Scared I would hit something or someone. Now, I cant keep my foot off the gas pedal. Well, it helps to have the right car. Baby Blue is the perfect size car and we just are a good team. I am feeling pretty confident for my drivers test in August. Just a little more practice and I think I can pass. Til then I will practice as much as I can. Wanna go for a ride? Lets go!

Fourth of July Parade

Yesterday marked the hundredth year of celebration of fourth of July in my town. That is why we had the parade yesterday instead of the actual day. I accomplished my assignment and I am very proud of myself. I set my alarm to wake up, got up and ready, grabbed my camera and walked over to where the parade would be. It was in the high ninety’s and the sun was shining high but it was worth it. Even though it was boiling out people still had great spirit for the holiday. I took over three hundred photos of the parade and kept around a hundred of them. Here are a few of them. Enjoy the parade!

Happy 4th!

Happy fourth of July or Independence day. Whichever one you like to call it. There may be a few things I dislike about this country but that does not mean I do not love it. There is so much to love about the USA. I think its stunning what this country has and does. Look at the hundreds of different cultures we have here. The many different lifestyles, religions and everything else. I think the most wonderful thing is people have a chance to live up to their dreams. Some call it the American dream but I dont like calling it that. To me that is too specific to one type of dream. I am talking about all dreams. The ones you dream at night and daydream during the day. They can be accomplished here.

One day at a time

Since I graduated I feel like everyone (not my mom) wants me to be off to college by Fall. Its like a military draft. All graduate high school students must go to college by fall or you are doomed. I get how college is important. I get how its different from high school. I understand how college helps you in the future. I listen to all the people with their knowledge but no one seems to understand and listen to me.
