Favorite Place For A Vacation

Authors Note: I always wanted to go to a place with horses.so Texas seamed like the place for it.


Texas, the place that can have 10 tornadoes in the same day or week. This is one place that is pretty dangerous to go but I would think that there would be wild horses. That is the kind of vacation I want because I've been going to the Wisconsin Dells for all of my life but nowhere else. I want to stand on a high hill and see wild horses running, that was my dream sense the beginning. Please tell me if you know a good place to stay or if you know how to win the lottery. Each answer is good enough but I think the lottery one is best.

Having Two Big Sisters

 Authors Note: For most people who have sisters they usually have interesting stories but mine is very weird. 


Just to let you know my sisters are very nice for starters. I believe they are both 26 but I’m not sure because one of my sisters Jennifer lives with her boyfriend and her three daughters. My sister that lives with me is finally getting married July 29th to this great guy who is sadly in a wheelchair. At first I was thinking she was nuts but he really turned out to be a awesome future step brother. There’s not much I can tell you about Jennifer except that I haven't seen her for about three years now. Now I don’t have exactly a what you would say a whole sister because Liz the one who is getting married, well we have the same mom but not the same dad. Jennifer and I have the dad but not the same mom. It’s weird isn’t it, but soon I will have the house all to my mom and myself.

Flubber

Authors Note: Flubber seems like a cats or a dogs name to me. Well mostly cat.

Flubber would be the best name for a real big and chubby cat. Just imagine it. “Come here Flubber”. It would be hilarious to call your cat flubber. Maybe when one of my cats die I can get a new little kitty and call it Flubber. I think that it would have to be a black cat because I would think Flubber would fit better with something black and squishy, not something thats black and white or yellow.

Fench Toast

 Authors Note: For this topic I chose to write about how I don't like or understand french toast.


Well where to start off. That's the tricky part finding out what to write about for french toast. For one thing I don’t think I like french toast even though I’ve never tasted it. Maybe one day I will go to France and go to the best restaurant that has the best french toast. Of course if the restaurant costs a ton of money then I’ll just have to settle in for what we have here. If any of you good people know a place not too far away or too expensive, please let me know as soon as possible because now I want some french toast or any toast really.

Dream Pet

My dream pet is like any other dream pet that most three to ten year-old girls would love to have which is a horse. I’ve always wanted a horse ever since I saw the movie “Black Beauty”. So if I could have a horse I would want a black Mustang that I broke myself. A lady told me that mustangs really bond with their owners.

High Heels

High Heels

One time I was a pair of high heels and I really disliked my owner who is a top secret spy and she used high heels for weapons. Even if my heel didn’t hit the target the force from my owner throwing me knocked the bad guys out. If I hit the head of course. It’s like a three year-old throwing me around or is trying to break my heel. It feels like I’m not important at all. When my owner isn’t throwing me around she is wearing me with unnatural non matching clothes which is disgusting.

All About Me

Why hello there, my name is Tara-Jane Hattie Vanderboom and  here is a little bit of information about myself. First thing that is really exciting is that I just got my ears pierced last Saturday morning and it didn’t hurt at all! My big sister Elizabeth is getting married July 29th and her fiance is a guy who is in a wheelchair which is sad but he is the nicest guy and I will finally have a brother. By the way I am the type of girl who LOVES video games. My absolute favorite is ME 1, 2, and 3. Please don’t think i’m weird or lazy just because I LOVE video games cuz I still love makeup and dress. Well, not exactly but still I do a little bit. Some pets I have are a bird Nemo, some unnamed fish, a dog Thunder, two cats Kitty and Boom. a turtle Max, and a garden snake kruser. Oh, and I used to have a dog, Keyna, who was the best dog ever. I will always miss her:(

Gentleness-
"Off the wind from the herd, a red mare came out from the fold of the low hills opposite. She stood motionless a moment, her graceful head held high."

Loyalty-
"He stops and nickers. She nickers in reply and comes close to him, her nose touching his flank. They stand a moment."

Defeat-
"The stallion was conquered. Never again would he roam the plains, proud and free, the monarch of his herd."

Compassion-
"Tears blinded his eyes and from his throat cam the sound of a single sob. It was as if he himself were being broken and tied."
