Hello!

I suppose you want to know how I do it. The secret is chocolate. Its full of smile inducing chemicals (as everyone knows) as well as flavinoids and anti-oxidants which keep the skin clear and young looking. It also tastes good! Sometimes I add things to my chocolate like a handful of almonds or some oatmeal. The caffeine in it also helps me feel alert in the morning and stay up late at night so I don't miss out on anything! Maybe you can see that I am looking a little sleep deprived - don't worry, I've already had my morning chocolate so it shouldn't be a problem. Other health foods I can recommend to you are corn dogs and the hot yummy cheese they give you at 7-11. As my Mom often quotes to us, "The world is so full of a number of things - I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings!"

And we are happy! This is Liza and I getting ready for the dance. She is just entering the young adult world and on the way to the dance I tried talking her into coming up and living with me when she graduates from High School. Being careful not to come across as offensive, she let me know she was actually wanted to become a responsible member of society, but thanked me anyway. I assured her that the only way I survive is because I have around me a plethora of responsible people, and that I was sure she would identify with them and even want to emulate them. So we struck a deal that she should at least come to Edmonton for a couple of days and see how she felt. And then, she could either stay on or not. She is actually quite in demand. Almost all the sisters are begging for her to come stay with them. Even some of the Aunts and cousins. And who wouldn't, look at her - she is even sweeter and kinder and more full of prudence and wisdom than you can see from the picture. We'll see what she chooses. Oh! I hope she picks me!

Lol I love it Eliza. I do hope that you really love your time in Edmonton. I think it's the greatest place in the world for YSA. (I may be slightly biased though, since I experienced no other YSA) However, I loved it so I hope you do too. Plus you would be so much closer and I would love to visit you and Julie!! We could have girl parties up here!
Oh PS you are right, Julie does look adorable and not quite twenty, and so do you Eliza. You girls are gorgeous! I hope you two had fun at the dance!

We had fun because we had each other. We tried to have fun based on having a good attitude about everything else, but although I did have dancing partners all night - not one swept me off my feet. Being swept off my feet is something I never take seriously but enjoy to the max!

You really wanna read it in an "Old English" accent? Then read the following:
Julie, min leofest, thu eart se sceonest. ... etc. etc. :) He. I'd need my dictionaries and my paradigms to translate it properly.
