I love fridays, but I love Friday the 13ths better!!!
Something
good always happens to me...today me and my neighbor are going to watch
"Message In A Bottle" starring Paul Newman. And it is
raining....something I love....and get good luck in......so now I have
doubly good luck!!!! I feel bad for the people who get bad luck
though....our gardeners came and did our yard and half way through it
started pouring rain......they were soaked to the bone in 5 minutes.
So
far nothing bad has happened to me but there is always room for that to
happen. For instance my neighbor just called me saying she can't watch
the movie with me she has to go to her shop......but we will watch it
some other day.....in the meantime I will watch "The Sting" another Paul
Newman movie.
So why the fascination with Paul Newman you might
ask??? Well I am a medical kid and I cant go to camp...that is a normal
camp. Paul Newman saw that there were many kids throughout the US that
had medical disorders that kept them from going to camp. He decided to
help. He created "The Hole in the Wall" camp. It enabled kids to go to
camp free of charge and be around a full medical staff and do things
that they normally wouldn't be able to do.
Last year I went to the
Painted Turtle...it is another Hole in the wall camp 40 miles north of
Los Angeles. It was fabulous!!! I had the best time...made many new
friends and did things I never would have done elsewhere. I have a
phobia of rope ladders and tightropes because there flimsy and they add
on to my fear of falling. They had a high ropes course and that's what
we did the first day. I had known one of the guys volunteering, from my
hospital and his name is Pun, and he knew of my fear and what time I'd
be doing the high ropes. He came and encouraged me while I did it...he
kept saying " look a pi in the sky!!!" (we had decided my name for the
week was 3.14159265, the first few digits of pi) Pun helped me across
the tight rope and gave me a big hug when I came down.
I have
signed up for the camp again this summer from July 3-7...over the fourth
and my birthday! Well that is it for this text I have 25 min to clean
up the kitchen or I'm in trouble.
TTYLXOX!!!!!!!!
