The Secret Passage

One day, when World War II was going on, a carriage passed by on the road to Canterbury.  In the carriage were four people, a mother, a brother Michael, and a sister Terra.  "Are we there yet?" asked Michael.  Terra was worried about her father who served as an Elglish soldier in teh Air Force in World War II.  As Terra thought about her Father she fell asleep.  "Wake up Terra! Wake up! Where here!" shouted Michael as the carriage stopped at uncle Thomas' house.  He gave them sugar sticks and said "Let's take a look at your rooms."  Michaels room was bright orange with toy planes hanging down from the ceiling.  Terra's room was light purple with a chandelier hanging down.  Terra's bed had a silk canopy.  Michael's room had a bunk bed.  Uncle Thomas introduced Terra to her maid Layla.  "I like your cat." said Layla shyly.  Lucky Terra's black cat was peeping out from behind Terra.  Terra looked longingly at the garden.  Uncle Thomas said she could spend the day in it after lunch but lunch seem so far away to Terra.  For lunch Terra, Michael, Mother and Uncle Thomas had turkey sandwiches, egg salad, caeser salads and for dessert they had cinammon cakes.  Lucky had cream and milk for lunch.  After lunch Terra went to the garden and picked flowers and sketched.  Just then Layla came running to Terra and said "Terra! Terra! I need to tell you something! I found a secret passage that's in the basement.  Meet me there in 5 minutes."  As Terra entered the basement a bright light startled her.  It was Layla.  "Are you ready?" asked Layla.  "Yes" answered Terra.  Layla opened the door and they went into the secret passage.  It was dark but Layla's lantern shone brightly.  Terra saw another bright light ahead.  She thought it was someone else but when she got closer she saw it was a garden.  Terra and Layla spent hours in the garden.  they got back just in time for dinner.  At dinner they feasted on ham, chowder and roasted vegetables.  For dessert they had chocolate cake.  The next morning when Terra woke up she could smell coffee and heard bacon sizzling.  She jumped out of bed, got dressed and ran downstairs.  For breakfast had coffee, bacon, toast, eggs and biscuits.  During breakfast Mother said that she and Michael got jobs in London.  Terra said "Where will I stay?"  Mother said "you will live here with Uncle Thomas."  After Terra's thing had been transported over to her new house she got settled in.  Everyday after lunch Terra and Layla spent time together in the secret passage and they became great friends.

My Mom

My mom Kristy means so much to me so I wanted to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY on January 10th!!!   If I lost her then I would be sadder then you could ever imagine. Her favorite color is purple. I love her more than anything.  She is the best mom in the universe because she cooks for me, teaches for me, and sometimes cleans for me.  Mom, if you are reading this then I want to tell you this… you are the most beautiful, talented, funny mom I ever knew. You are a loved and cherished mom. You are #1!

One of my favorite things about my mom is that she encourages me to do new things. She encouraged me work a community makeover where I gave away sweets and did face painting to the less fortunate.  

Tropical Water

The Tropical breeze was the first thing that told 10 year old Jeniffer Sanders that they had made it to Jamaica! Kreg and Rodney Jeniffer’s 5 year old brothers said at the same time, ”I wonder if we will see any sharks!” A few hours before the MERMAID VOYAGER landed, Jennifer’s mom said, what do you kids want to do before we land? Go pack, take a nap, or swim? SWIM!!! Shouted Kreg and Rodney. How about you Jeniffer? Oh, I think I’ll stay here and enjoy the scenery said Jeniffer. Alright, sweetheart, said Mom. Yeah, alright Jeniffer, stay here and be a lazybones, said Rodney. Rodney Allen Sanders! That is no way to talk to your sister, says Mom. Say you’re sorry then go to your room and don’t come out until dinner. But Mom, I’ll miss out on swimming! Oh fine, said Rodney. Sorry Jeniffer. For dinner there was steamed halibut. Ewe, this stuff tastes gross and salty, said Kreg. But Rodney was hungrily digging into his meal. Well, I see that someone likes their dinner, exclaimed Mom. Jeniffer just finished, said Kreg. Speaking of Jeniffer, where did she go asked Mom? At that very moment a huge wave crashed into the ship. The twins screamed. After that they heard a distant cry, it said HELP somebody! Girl overboard! Just like that Mom, Kreg, and Rodney were pulling Jeniffer up onto the ship. What happened? Asked the captain Mac RewDolf. I…I fell overboard while I was going to my cabin, sir, said Jeniffer. Well why didn’t you just run back to the dining hall?  he said. Because I was to scared sir. Go to your cabin, Jeniffer. Yes sir, said Jeniffer. Meanwhile, everyone was having a party while Jeniffer snuck out of her cabin and left to go to the party.  But unfortunately, the punch bowl fell right beside her. Then the captain came over and said well, well if it isn’t Mrs. Jeniffer Sanders. Aren’t you supposed to be in your cabin? No, said Jeniffer. Alrightie then, come join the party he said. When the party ended it was almost 10:30. That night it was storming very badly, but Jeniffer was sleeping very soundly with a smile on her lips.
