Happy 14th birthday to my only first cousin, Morgan. 

Mimz drove to Morgan's home so she could spend time with Morgan, give her her gifts, and go out for a birthday dinner with Uncle Scott, Aunt Jill, and Peg, Aunt Jill's mother.  Mimz enjoyed spending the next day visiting with Peg. I wish I could spend today with her, but she lives too far away and we both have to go to school.

I hit my crazy bone today for the first time.

After school Mimz and I went shopping.  One thing we bought was a pair of size 11 blue tennis shoes for me.  My old shoes were  size 9.5.   Mimz said I could play in them but to put on my old shoes to play in water or mud.  They are so pretty I think I will do my best to keep them clean.

 These pictures show a part of our Gunsmoke play.  I don't have to have a real toy gun.  I sometmes use my imaginary hand gun.

GGF shot me...

 ... and I put on quite a show....

I squarm a lot before I final collapse.  I can lay there without moving for a long time.  Then I get up and say, "Let's do that again."

I sometimes say Grandma and Barbara can put away the toy we have been playing with (a puzzle, game, or anything with a lot of pieces) and that I dont' want to help.  I then find myself having to make a choice:  help them pick up or play the next activity by myself.   I always help and I do a good job helping, getting right in there and working quickly to get it done.
