Through the Thorns


I went bike riding with Paul today, it was sooooo much fun! We went Mountain and I mean Mountain Biking!!! Paul had Anouk, and Typhon and I had Abeaka. We went up to right before the query and down a small path. The bad thing is the path is only really a path at the begining and end. Through the middle it's mud puddels and a small space between thron bushes on either end. Abeaka pulled me through it all and I only fell twice!( I am very proud of that accoplishment.) After the mountain path we went down a steep pathed road, which was very fun. Then we climbed the hill up to the village. Right before the very steep end to the road up to the village he and I stoped to let the dogs drink at a spot with water filled ceiment. Anouk and Abeaka went swimming where as Typhon stayed clear of the edge but consumed 10 gallons of water. But after the drink Musher Boy surprized me by taking up a not so steep mountain trail where I feel into a thorn bush( only once) that lead right to the rode to the village. All in all it was a very fun and amazing ride!

The War

At times when your in a forgien country and you have read all your books you start thinking of the books you want to read. Back home in the states the Twilight series is very popular and alot of people are becoming Twilight fans and leaving Harry Potter in the dust, I have left the wizards side as well has my dear Critter cousin. I think the twilight series is better then the wizards but my older as she says wiser cousin Kayyytie doesn't agree and isn't willing to be tempted by the vampiers. Lets just see who wins the war.
I still love you to death but I love this sticker!!!!!

Disney


As you all know the Clark Gang and I went to Euro Disney. WE all had a blast!!! I rode Space Mountain twice, Indiana Jones rollar peril, Thunder Mountain, and Rockin Rolling coaster. My favorite was Rockin Rollin coaster. But my favorite memorie was not of the coaster or even the rides. It was of King Bubba's face when he saw Buzz Lightyear and wouldn't look away, or Princess's face when she saw Cinderella's castle, or maybe even the Lord's face when he got to go on the train that went around the park. The truth is I would have traded every roller coaster ride to see the looks on their faces all over again. I understand the meaning of disney!

Bath!!!!



It's bath time at the Clark residents and this bath was for Typhon. Typhon's bath makes me appreciate how good Snick is when i give her a bath! To start Typhon was hooke up to a chain so he couldn't escape. WE started the water and he started screaming and howling at the top of his giant lungs! I swear he sounded like 50 wet and howling cats!!!!!!!




He escaped! After 2 min. of the water he dicided he had enough and shook of his collar and ran for it. He hid behind his dog house!
Well Dig and I let him calm down then we soaped him up and hooked him up to the chain and started the water again. The screaming began and ended and that concludes the Typhon Bath!

Là Bàs


Là Bàs it means over there in French. On car rides Karen loves to listen to her CD's and the Kids Most requested song is Là Bàs. Là Bàs is by Grégory Lemarchal this singer has 4 octives and won star academy in France. ( Star Academy is like the French American Idol.) He had an amazing voice, when I home I am going to download Là Bàs from itunes onto my ipod. If you Here his voice, you will know it's maybe the best voice you have ever heard!!!!!




His voice is a true miricle because he had Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a Fatal disease that damages the lungs, so for him even able to sing let alone have an amazing voice is a miricle. He has one album out that you can download from itunes.


Grègory Lemarchal died of Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 24. He lived an amazing life and had an icrediable voice. His name lives on in France, as does his music. Now whenever Karen plays that song I think and ask my self the question how could someone so gifted be so cursed?

Global Warming

Global warming is a serious problem throughout the world. At times like this it makes everyone pay attention to what is going on in the world. Everyone wonders what they can do to help find the solution; recyle, reuse, reduse, riding bikes, useing eco friendly products. But I don't worry because I am a swimmer.

Funny

Riding

Today I went riding through France with Paul, Abaka, and Typhon. It was amazing!!!!! France is beautiful and riding with the dogs is soooo cool! I loved riding with the dogs soo much that i decided when I get home I'm ordering a harness and straping Snick to my bike and heading off! We went through little villages and across breath takingly beautiful landscapes that over looked the moutain sides and hillside towns. Though I plan to ride with Snick when I get back nothing will ever compare to riding in France!!!!!!! I could spend hours no matter how tierd I am, riding through France, going down every street and town just because I love the feeling, and the sites. I am sorry to say I do not have pictures of this amazing ride because I am not so good at multi-tasking that I can take a good picture with my camera. But I will always remember the sites I saw.

Typhon






Last summer A.Snake connnected with typhon and he really misses her and wanted me to post these so she wouldn't forget him because he loves her!!!!!!!!

No pups


Anouk can no longer have puppies!!!!!!!!!!! As of yesterday Anouk was fixed or as they say in french "sterilized". The clarks have decided to breed malamutes instead of sibes. :( Anouk has been resting and is slowly getting her spirit back!! We all have relized that you should not just breed a dog for the sake of breeding dog. Seeing Abaka in that awful home made them relize that they didn't want their puppies to go to homes like that. Malamutes are not as popular in France and they hope that their Malamute puppies will attract owners who can properly care for the dogs. So no puppies in the near future, but worry not the are to come. We still love Anouk she would have made a great mom.

Proud to be an American

Today is the fourth of July!!!!! Red,White, and Blue are the colors of our nation. So on this proud day for our country I am spending it in the home of an American eating hot dogs and hamburgers in the country of France. There will be no amazing fireworks this year, or no proud American flags flying from every home, but there will be a celebration with sparklers and American flag t-shirts. So even though I am far from my country you can not keep my self and other Americans from celebrating the nations proud independence and colors. Because we are proud to be Americans. The celebration must continue even in the foreign land, because we are part of an amazing, free, and beautiful nation which deserves to be celebrated no matter where we are!!!!!!

Shocked


We were hit!!!!! Last night during a very bad lightning storm the house was hit!!! I was watching the lightning from the front door window and I saw a bright white streak and heared a thunderus boom that almost burst my ear drums! The power flicked and the computer turned off. The next morning I awoke to thick fog that covered the valley. Dig and I went downstairs to the computer and found it with no signal. We rebuted it, but as we were about to print we found out the printer was fryed. We were stuck in the house trying to fix the printer when the phone rang we answered but no one was there. It rang three times but every time we answered the line was scilent....... The phone lines could not answer calls. Dig and I with King Bubba in figured out that the ALICE phone line was down but not the french line. Eurika!!!We had contact!!! With that adventure over, we head out looking for more.... Who knows what we will find???

Playmates

My little game creators

Ever since I got here I have played none stop. Princess, and Lord J are the best playmates. They never get tierd of you and always want to play games. Princess comes up with the coolest games off the top of her head, where as Lord J comes up with the rules to this new game. There are three things I learned from these two playmates, one, being a big person who is stronger and faster then the little game creators there are many more rules against you. Two, the game creators can make up a new rule at any point in the game. Third and finally, if you make the game creators laugh they forget all the rules against you.


Got any jokes?????

France


The breeze, the grass, the feilds, the cows, the dogs, the kids, the house, the hills, the trees, the storm, what more could heaven be like. France, no other place like it on earth.

2nd wonder of the World




For the past 2 weeks Brown Boy has been making sure that i know he is glad I'm leaving for France. But the morning I left for France he spent two hours building the 2nd wonder of the world, the efile tower, in our kitchen. This beautiful master piece was made out of over 100 cups of 4 different colors and was 6 ft tall. On top of that he wrote a card saying WE WILL MISS YOU!!! and got every one in the house to sign it. What more could I ask for. Thank you Brown Boy, I'll miss you!!!!!!!

The house is haunted!!!!!!!


This morning I was fast asleep in Ellen's bed. Then out of the blue I herd them calling, calling. They were the ghosts of the house!!!!! There were three that I herd all calling out MEGHAN, MEGHAN, their voice's quiet and raspy but scary all the same. I was sure they were going to eat me because they were saying, time for breakfast!!!! So after what seemed like hours of the scary ghosts calling me I decided to face my doom....... There they were all staring at me saying they were playing a game and laughing at it. Well at least I thought it was scary. But The ghost are still here to this day; Wilbur, Ellenor, and JackO all asking me to play.
