Parkers Crossing Video

This is a video of one of my cousins' re-enactments at Parker's Crossing. He made several shots in the video. He is the drummer boy.

Also, his new book, The Orphan and the Beaten Drum is now published and available at his website: Southern Cadence Press. It's a little long at first so you might want to forward it a little.

The Visit

The visit with my cousins really went well! My grandma and cousins family went to their first book signing at 9:00 on Saturday. He also went to my aunts book store in the afternoon for another book signing. Bryce did his wonderful speech and presentation on the Civil War twice there and twice at the one earlier. I couldn't stop smiling during the presentation, it was so good. I'm proud of him. We had hamburgers and fries for dinner, too. That was a plus. This Sunday, we went to church, and then Rachel and I came right over to my grandma's house. We organized her closet and got rid of her outdated clothes and things she didn't wear. It looks really good in her closet now! I'm proud of that, too. It turned out good!! There is so much more space in there now! For dinner tonight, my grandma cooked this frozen pizza that she got at Aldi's. It was about $4 each, but it was almost identical to Digornios' $6 pizzas. The brand is Mama Ocozzi. They were really good!! Too bad we don't really go to Aldi's all that much. We use the fundraiser card for Kroger's, so we go there a lot. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with a dental surgeon for a consultation to pull 4 teeth. The orthodontist says I need 4 teeth pulled; although at first I didn't see why that was necessary. I guess they're pull one on each side top and bottom. That still seems like a lot though. I hear that science class has been pretty boring without me. I bring the humor I guess. I've missed it a lot, so I'll be glad to be back again. sourpatch

Cousin's Book Signing

My cousins and aunt are in town over the weekend to do a booksigning for my second oldest cousin's first book. His book is called: A Courier for Stonewall. It's a really good "You Are the Star" book. The book is about a young boy delivering an important letter to Stonewall Jackson during the Civil War period. (You can get a copy at the Southern Cadence Press.)

He is in town today to go around to various book stores to give a demonstration on what life would be like as a drummer boy. He has also made his own authentic drum. It looks like the one in the picture on the far left. He made the top and bottom of the drums with goat and sheep skin that he prepared himself.

I think that my cousins are coming to our house for dinner, so we've been cleaning and stuff. Rachels sewing corner is the neatest its been, probably since she started with it. It looks good.

I am nearing my hundreth post. Therefore, I'll probably do something like post baby pictures or something, MSM suggested that I post 100 things about me, but that might take a lot of time. We'll see.... sourpatch
