This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week, or so, I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin.

Marcia decided that we are going to start keeping a family journal. I think this is a great idea, except she keeps insisting that we can’t actually start it until I write my version of how we met and fell in love and got married. Every time I sit down to start writing that story (and while she won’t believe me, I have started many times), I realize that there needs to be even more back story, and I give up and scrap what I’ve written.
So tonight, I decided to take a different approach and instead of writing a novel, I started writing it in the style of a children’s book. Marcia rejected it for inclusion in the family journal, so here it is:
How we Met
One day in church there was a pretty girl named Marcia. We skipped a church dance together and walked around outside. I liked her. We went back to her apartment and…
…
played cards.
Then I went on a mission.
Then she went on a mission.
Then I got back.
Then she got back.
Then we dated for like 5 years.
Then she moved away.
And I missed her.
So I asked her to marry me.
She said yes.
And we got married.
And I liked it.
THE END
I wouldn’t look for it in the Scholastic book catalog any time soon.
Our trip took us to Indianapolis. We* went to the IMA~. We went to the zoo%. We went to Super China Buffet^.
*We = Adam, Emily, Erin, Jacob, and Marcia
~Free, and really cool!
%This is the coolest zoo I have been to this year! A dolphin dive from underneath We got to pet sharks, and some of them loved us, and some of us loved some of them. Petting sharks at the zoo There were even dancing sharks. Dancing Shark
^Here is the buffet video.
I tried my hand at canning for the first time alone. I made lots of apple butter and pear-apple butter. It is all so yummy! And the jars all sealed properly, it is so fun to listen to the lids all “popping.” However it does bring up a question, why is it called canning when we use jars?
