Becky....June 21, 2008

So, today was the Ladies' tea which was very different....but fun. I had to pretend to be all proper the cool thing was though that I knew the answers to the etiquette questions when Mrs. Burton (the tea lady) asked them. Anyways, they had an assortment of little finger sandwiches, cream puffs, lemon bars, brownies, fruit, and homade biscuits (kinda). Everything was delicious, except for the tea. It was peach carmel flavored, which may sound good but it isn't. It was hot, unsweetened tea. The cool thing was that everyone was dressed up. The pictures do not really do our outfits justice. We took a group photo of everyone wearing big hats and feather boas. So cute! The other lady helping out as well told us, "do not to match because it makes a better photo!" Anyways, after everyone had finished eating we had a quick devotional about being friends as women. That was really nice. Then we headed out to "Old Town." The name definitely describes the place well. It was basically a flea-market that vendors set the prices so high and then "marked off" 30%!!! What a buy! I was going to buy dad this sign, but then I could hear mom say, "now, where are we going to put that?" I would reply, "By the cardinal!"

Well, California is a very beautiful place. There is not a flat piece of land anywhere. Running is TOUGH!!! I am not feeling it to want to live here permanently....but it is a wonderful vacation spot. I do like the weather here unless it is really hot! No humidity. No one has air-conditioning here. Which makes sense because the weather is only really hot for like a week or two.

I am really connecting with Becky and Faith (Faith especially). One of the women today thought that Faith and I were related. Brad, Faith, James, Dave, and me all went to see Get Smart in the Theatres last night, and James and Dave are the worst two people to go to the movies with. They have never heard of a whisper, but it was funny. Just to let you know, Brad is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!

Becky and I figured out that Noah has a crush on me. It is pretty nifty! I don't think that a little boy has ever had a crush on me. Everytime I say something to him, he blushes. If I go to hug him, he runs away. When we do things he always asks me what I am doing. It is very comical. Don't worry, Russell! He is WAY out of my league!!!

Sorry if you think that I am rambling. I guess I will sign off for now! I love you all! You will be reading from me real soon. I am going to try to post the proposed itinerary for the trip back to Arkansas!!!
