Wow - I haven't written in a long time. My foot healed - mostly- and I've been busy this Fall, but I lost the cord to get pictures off my cameras! I'll try to update all my Fall adventures when I can - I saw wild horses on Assateague Island and I went to Wildwood, New Jersey.
First, though - the rest of Kit's great idea.
I was feeling very sorry for myself, indeed, when I heard a knock at the door.
I called, "Come in!" and in stepped my friend Kit, straight from a baseball game in 1934.
"Hi, there!" said Kit as she hurried in. "You'll never guess who scored the win-"
Kit stopped short.
"Hey, wait! Why are you still in bed? It's the middle of the day." Kit sounded worried. "You don't have Scarlet fever, do you? You look terrible!"
I was a little embarassed. I was being pretty lazy, had slept in the clothes I was wearing yesterday, and hadn't even changed.
Well, they were comfortable.
I laughed and showed her my hurt ankle. And explained that not only had I already had Scarlet Fever way back in the third grade, but doctors have medicine for that, so it's no big deal anymore.
Relieved, Kit came over and sat down beside me. She told me that she had scored the winning run at her baseball game today! Then, she wanted to know what happened. I told her everything.
"Well, my friends and I had Scarlet Fever. We were stuck in bed for days! We had a lot of fun writing together. Do you want to write a newspaper with me?" Kit asked.
I explained that people don't read newspapers as much as they did in her time.
"Well, what do people like to write, then? You have that computer, don't people write on there?
I thought and thought - then realized she was right - I could start a blog! There are several other American Girls whose blogs I LOVE to read!
"You like to make things, don't you?" Kit asked. "My Aunt Millie does, too. She also helped us go on some pretty neat adventures.We wrote a book about it called the Waste-Not-Want-Not Almanac."
Now, that was a GREAT idea! It's awesome to be green and recycle things into new things, and that's definitely one thing I want to learn how to do more. I also want to share my own adventures. An Almanac was the perfect idea! I'll write Cassie's Almanac!
Kit and I were excited to start, but first she helped get me a new outfit and my hairbrush, since I wasn't up for walking around my room yet.
Now, my blog is all ready to get started! My foot is (mostly) healed now, and I can't wait to start writing with my friends!
