From the desk of Karlie DeLong


Yesterday, as a late birthday present, Grandma took Abbi and I to her house to spend the night. We went to Fenderz for dinner. This morning, we woke up at about 7:00 to read our Bibles. Papa made chocolate chip/sprinkle waffles. He also taught Abbi and I how to play backgammon. Abbi won because she kept rolling doubles and high numbers. Then, we went to an art studio to paint a picture of some flowers in a milk jug. Our teacher's name was Karen. Grandma knows a lot of Karens. It took 4 hours, but Karen was a really nice teacher and our paintings turned out really good! Grandma painted her flowers a peachy creamsicle color. She had really nice details and shading. Abbi did her's some beautiful blues. I did mine yellowish-orangish like the original painting, but it turned out much brighter. I had a lot of fun!

A Fun Birthday Party

  Saturday, May 1, 2021 From the desk of Karlie DeLong Our friend Emma Gay turned 13 this year, and she invited Karis and I to her party. We were going to go bowling and then go back to her house, but there was a tournament going on, so we just went back for a playdate. The other guests were Zoe Meador, Aubrey Ferguson, and Lilli Farnsworth. We played some games and then got dressed up for a really fancy dinner. Emma's parents dressed up as our waiter and waitress. We pretended that we were in the 1700's. It was so fun!

Random Ice Day

 We had a random winter storm and the girls were able to be out of school!  We forgot to take many pictures, but Karis used the time to re-organize her bookshelves.  Lolli decided that her legs made a nice pillow for a nap!  Abbi and Susanna were the only ones brave enough to try to go sledding on the ice but they had a lot of fun!

9 Poems

  May 29, 2021 Abigail DeLong I wrote nine poems about our pets. Here they are: Poem #1 Lolli and Cupcake were not friends when Lolli had her kittens. I was so happy, I sang a song while I jumped on the trampoline with Karlie and Susanna Delong. Lolli had her kittens, four, But suddenly, she had one more! Lolli has five kittens; they are so cute! They make me want to jump around the house and play a little flute. I am so proud of Lolli. She reminds me of Karis and Karlie! THE END Poem #2 One of the kitten's names is Taffy. Sometimes, she is very snappy. She was the third kitten born, but she cannot blow on a horn. She is a calico kitten, but she hasn't any mittens. Lolli is very proud, because sometimes, Taffy is loud. I love Taffy very much  because she is so fun to clutch! THE END Poem #3 One of the kitten's names is Truffles. He is sweet and loves to snuffle. He was the second kitten born,  but he is secretly a unicorn! With him, I like to cuddle, for he hasn...
