have a camera. While I'm
waiting to get a new one I
would like to announce that I
don't have a name. I would like
anyone who has a suggestion
to please comment and I'll pick
my favorite.
Happy New year everyone! Last night Ben and I watched the extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring, then at midnight ran outside banging pots and pans. Did any one else stay up? By the way look back at all the posts so far and pick your favorite. Later there will be a vote for the best one. Another thing, when you comment please leave your names or initials so that we know who you are, and also always only comment on the top post.
This is me and my parents on Christmas morning many years ago. Our family was very poor and so it was a huge deal when I got the bike. My Dad told me the story on how they got the bike.
One morning as he was going for a walk, he saw something in the old creek and pulled it out. He cleaned it off and discovered it was part of a bike.
missing so he sold one of our
piglets which were practically
the only sources
of money we had.
Mom pitched in with some
vegetables. With the money
they were able to buy a new set of wheels. Dad put them on the bike and on Christmas I saw the bike (which I am still riding) for the first time. Without my parents generosity I probably wouldn't be a biker right now.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Ben
