Take a look! Concertina Accordion. It’s way cool
It has a button stuck, and a few straps broken, but it does work, and it’s gonna be a great project
It’s hard to believe it’s been two days already! Time sure flies. I’m going to be talking about the day before yesterday in this post. It might be a bit long so, brace yourself!
7:30 AM
“Benjamin, time to wake up!” said Mary. “Okay…” I grunted, and then fell back to sleep.
8:15 AM
“Benjamin! Wake up! It’s almost time to go!!” yelled Rebecca. “Okay, Okay, I’ll be down in a bit!” And I woke up, slowly. By the time I had fully gotten out of bed, got dressed etc. Rebecca came up and said “Luke’s going to come and get you before 9.” “Okay” I replied.
So I went downstairs and checked the furnace, then came upstairs, and got my “fancy duds” on. I was to be the “Paparazzi” at the Ladies Of The Lord, Victorian Tea. I know, every guy’s dream.
8:30 AM
Caleb arrives at our house. I had thought that Rebecca said Caleb was comming, not Luke! So, when he came by, I grabbed my coat, he grabbed a couple of things and we left.
Once we got to the tea, Not many people were there, because it was going to start at 9. So, I took off my coat, and revealed, my fancy duds. Surprisingly enough, Zeke was wearing the same kind of clothes! White shirt, green vest.
9:00 AM
People started arriving. There were a few boys at this ladies tea(in case you hadn’t noticed!). There was, Me, James, Caleb, Zeke and a few other ladies brougth their babies, so there was a few little boys. Barbara got there, and showed me a hat! It fit well with my paparazzi suit, so I put it on! Actually the hat was to go with an act at the tea, so I had to give it up later on.
There were some important roles in this tea, so I will disclose them here: I was the paparazzi, Caleb was the soldier in the armor of God, James was playing Jesus in the play, Ronda wore the tattered garments in the play, Barbara was heaviness, and I forget who the other lady was, but she played the old man. Mom did a little puppet act, and there were a few singers, as well as speakers.
Overall it was a pretty good tea. Went off without a hitch. They had good food there too!
Mom did a really good job of decorating the place.
9:30 AM
The play started. I played Jesus in this play once before, so it wasn’t really anything new. They all did a pretty good job though. I forget the one lady’s name who did “a perfect tree” but, she did a good job. Madison(I think that was her name) did a couple specials with Mom. Mary and Rebecca both did some songs, and Trudy did the main message.
11:00 AM
I got tired of my fancyt duds. underneat I had my regular T-shirt, so I took off the shirt, and vest, and took a few pictures in my regular clothes. Then people started leaving, and the girls and some of the other people all danced to the music Mom put on. Then, once everybody was gone, we all cleaned up.
Once we got the whole place cleaned up, we waited for somebody to come and get the “gates” and take them back to the petalers. When he finally came, we all left.
12:00 PM
We got home, and I put batteries in to the camera(they had run down). Soon we would head off to MAF to go on a flight(my first) over the Boise Valley! It was exciting. The people who went were: Me, Mary, Rachel and Sarah. Then the Christiansens came after a while. The people to ride would be: Me, Rachel, Sarah and Bonnie.
1:30 PM
Time for the flight! Oh, before I tell you about this, I’ll tell you something funny. When we first got out at MAF, we went inside, and talked to the lady at the front desk. Then somebody came by and said “Your lights are on!” MAry replied “Oh, it’s one of those cars that turns them off automatically.” Then the lady at the front desk answers the phone “Oh, they’ve already been informed.” Then she hung up and said “They were calling to tell you your lights were on!” LOL!
Okay, on to the flight. It was really cool. The Airplane was a Cessna. The pilot was a really nice guy, whom the girls had already met! He had lived in Africa for 15 years, and lived in lesotho for 13 of those! He was cool. He showed us how to do all the doors, and the seatbelts and such. The take-off was fun. It was really about how I had expected it, but It was way cooler because I was actually doing it.
We flew over greenleaf, and our house! It was so cool to see it from the air. Got tons of pics. The flight was about 40 minutes(10 minutes over the time expected), and was exciting. I guess I’ve actually flown now!
2:20 PM
We took a tour of MAF. Our pilot said he’d give us one. We were going to do it with another lady, but she was too busy, and he apparently wasn’t, so he gave us a tour
MAF is kinda cool. They’ve got the actual plane the Nate Saint and them, flew. I’d already seen it though, so It wasn’t much new, but still cool!
2:50 PM
We headed off from MAF. We stopped at a couple places, but Mary forgot her wallet, so we didn’t buy much. Used up all of my cash though! We headed home though, after a while.
And that’s the most part of the day.
Here’s all the pics

Link of the week will be posted tomorrow.
Life’s been fairly interesting. There’s been some commotion about the house about a couple different people. I’m not sure how serious either is.
I’ve been trying to chat only an hour a day. It’s been working as a guideline, but not really as a set in stone thing. Like, yesterday I chatted for two hours, today I chatted for I dunno how long. Though, it’s been a good idea and I’ve been getting more done because of it.
I found out the Morty likes soccer. He loves to run and jump, but I could never get him interested in tetherball. However, kicking a ball around the yard seems to fit right with him! Mind you, he’s not very good at it. Doesn’t know the rules, but he’s possesive of the ball.
I’ve been using stumbleupon a lot, and it’s been dwindling my time as well. Though you do find a lot of interesting stuff! Like, ya know, This Lego Brick Art. Interesting no? Somebody had a lot of time on their hands. You may be finding these in the link of the week now.
I’ve also been watching videos on YouTube with creation evolution debates. They’ve shown to be pretty interesting really. Just look up “creation evolution debate” and you’ll find a slew of stuff.
Anna’s birthday is tomorrow! She’ll be 26. I haven’t gotten her anything though :\ I better find something eh?
OK, that’s everything.
