Political Cartoon

I'm reading Johnny Tremain The Story of Boston in Revolt Against the British by Esther Forbes. Intrigued by what I've read, I decide to make a political cartoon. (This is something like what a teacher in school would assign for credit.) I love doing stuff like this for myself-wacky, I know.

California Trip













Disneyland and California Adventure were awesome! Lezlie, Louise and I were visiting CA from June 1-4. We were all feeling our age, but it was a fantastic trip.

One of the highlights of our Disneyland experience, was receiving a free lanyard and two "Year of a Million Dreams" pins, just because we were in the right place at the right time! All the rest of that day we looked for other park visitors with our same free lanyard-we saw no one. We felt giddy with excitement for the rest of the trip.

After some internet research, I found out that those free promotional pins are not available to the buying public, we just got a special blessing.

Of course, those free items made me want to purchase two more pins for myself, (clever people there at Disney.) I bought the Tinkerbell and Soaring Over California pins to add to my lanyard.

We're already talking about our next trip, (that always happens.)
