A look at life through the eyes of an 11-year-old boy.

I have only a few days until my family leaves to go to

Washington, D.C. and New York. I can’t wait.

To Ms. Tyholm, my sixth-grade reading, English and social

studies teacher, good luck on your surgery.

Happy birthday, Mom. My mom’s birthday was the 27th of March.

I can’t wait until this summer to go to hot, sunny Rim Rock Cove.

Practically everybody from the Valley is there. There are the Shipleys,

Olsons and a bunch of other families.
