The Philbrook Museum

We spent the after-noon at the Philbrook museum today.  They had a special exhibit about ancient Egypt, with mummy's and coffins and stone statues.  It is a vary pretty building, three floors with a big garden in the back.  There was a big black and white cat on the tares that wanted to get into the museum, and when I was going in after looking at the garden the cat slipped in and went walking around the hallways.  He seemed completely at home so I wasn't sure if he didn't belong there, but just to be sure I told one of the lady's who worked there, and she got the cat out.  Apparently there are a few cats that live on the estate, this ones name is Acer.  We had a lot of fun there and the Egyptian exhibit was really cool.  Acer made the museum seem more like the house it originally was.

The Inevitable

Well the news from Kamchatka is still sad, the King died a few days ago.  His granddaughter is going to be crowned today, the monarchs of Kamchatka have always been crowed on Sunday, after the morning service to remind the new ruler and people that they would always need God's help.

No AC

The electricity went out yesterday for no reason it seemed.  It turns out something at the electricity place stopped working, and over 900 people lost electricity.  Daddy hooked up the generator and some how it blow out almost all the transformers in the house, most of the radios and one of the computers.  We got electricity back last night, but low and behold our AC had also been broken.  So we are stuck in the heat of summer with no AC.

Temps! Yaaa!

I just got my temps today, I had to take a reading test first, because I'm home schooled and they want to make shore I can read.  I past the written test with only three wrong answered, but the funny thing about it was that I hadn't finished reading the book yet. (o:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,

Over a quaint and curious volume of Edgar Allan Poe.  One of my favorite poems is the Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, I read it aloud the other day for my grandmother and sisters.  I've read it aloud several times and every time I do, I unconsciously put on a English accent.  Its funny, because I can't hear it, but my sisters and grandmother can.

Inspiration from the Bible

Recently I got an inspiration for some short story's.  I could tell some of the Bible story's from a fictional characters view.  Right now I'm working on the crossing of the Red Sea, from a Egyptians point of view.  Of course the hero dies in the end, but that doesn't matter. lol 

I would like to do a series of Bible story's, like the creation, the fall, the flood, and others I haven't figured out yet.  I hope I can do the crucifixion, I'm not sure if I can right now.  I have always been kind of afraid of the crucifixion, I don't know exactly way, maybe I'm afraid to comprehend how terrible it was, maybe I'm scared of what I'll feel like when I find out.  I don't now, but I'll probably find out soon.

Sad news for Kamchatka

Kamchatka is a peninsula on the east cost of Russia, really close to Alaska.  Well I took Kamchatka and made it an imaginary country, roiled by a made up royal family of Alkeav.  Well, the sad news is the present King is dying of a hart condition, and isn't expected to live through the next two weeks.  His granddaughter is going to inherit the throne after he dies, she is my first virtual friend.  Needless to say she is really sad, and so is everyone else, because he has been a really good king.

My new friends

I just recently made myself four virtual friends.  There really fun, two are my age, one is two years younger, and the last is a adult.  They all live in Kamchatka Russia, and are part of a fictional royal family, that I also made up.
