Alright, so this morning I had basketball, and then in the afternoon, we went out to Deb's shop and I worked on my bowl for a while, and got part of it rounded off, which took a LONG time! That piece of wood is so off centered it's not even funny.... (but we all know it is ;)
Anyways, after we worked in Deb's shop for a while, Deb and Ralph headed off to the Canada Day party, and I hung out with Grandma and Papa, eating some pizza and having some intense rounds of Scrabble and Boggle.
Sorry, no pictures again guys... :/ I've really got to be taking some more, I'll try to be better for the next two weeks or so that I'm staying here!
So yep, another day done!
/// OH and there apparently were some clarity issues about the bike ride yesterday, I DID make it this year, not last year. I think I worded it wrong, but if you were wondering, I hade it this year no problem, but I seriously had to redeem my last year's self.

Day 20
Today Deb and I went out to her shop in the morning, but then we decided that it would be more fun to go on a bike ride that I was too out of shape to do last year, so I decided to redeem myself and do it this year. It really wasn't that bad, I don't know why I couldn't finish it.... oh well, Anyway, here are some pictures ;)
After lunch, Deb and I worked in her shop for a while, and I started turning MY bowl. However, it fell off of the block, so we had to glue it back on, and wait 24 hours to start turning again... However, that's when Bailey came over, we were going to take Charlie and Bailey's friend's dogs to the beach for a little walk. It was about 1.5 miles each way, so Charlie at least was pretty tuckered out. After the walk, we had some burgers for dinner, and then watched a movie and went to bed.

Day 19
Today, we went fishing! But we didn't catch anything... :( Oh well, there's always next time!
Here are some pictures of some seagulls that were following us for a while, and we ended up feeding them what little chewed up bait we had left, before coming back in and eating lunch
After lunch, I went to Deb's shop to work on some projects, and MAYBE start my bowl, well, one of my cribbage boards was sprayed, so it's pretty much done, and I might even start MY bowl, I don't think I said, but that other one was an amazing bowl that Deb was working on, not me :) It's really cool thbough and it's made from some type of birch, which is coming along very nicely.
MY bowl, which is about a billion inches smaller than Deb's, is out of walnut, and I'm going to turn it on the lathe (sp?) However, I ended up not starting it, so you'll just have to wait!
After lunch, we had to take the beach totems and the beach ball and the arbor down to Ptarmigan, so that took a good.. half hour- 45 mins, and they look awesome in there! The arbor ended up not being WAY to big, like we had expected it to be.
After we went to Ptarmigan, Deb and I went on a shorter hike with the dogs, and went to Grandma and Papa's for some dinner. After dinner we started a movie and then went to bed.

Day 18
Okay, so today I had basketball camp. and while I was there, Ralph and Papa went down to Coal point and gor all of our halibut that we were storing there.
After camp we ate lunch, and contemplated the rest of our day.......I decided to go out to Deb's shop and start on some other project, I came up with some pretty cool ideas!!
For instance, I'm going to do a really cool woodburning piece out of spruce that I had found in the burning pile, thank goodness it hadn't been thrown in the fire!!!! After that, we came back to the house and ate dinner, and then I decided to get caught up on the blog so that's pretty much what I'm doing right now ;)
Day 17
No pictures today, sorry guys :/
Deb , Papa, and I were in Deb's shop for most ofthe day, I finished a cribbage board I had made, and Deb sprayed my bat one more time. Then, I got started polanning out a newproject.. I'm going to turn a bowl :) It's going to be pretty!!
The whole thing started because I had finished my bat, and had realized that I had no more projects1 Grandma's plant sand is going to be put on hold for a while, because that's going to take way too much time, and I don't have that kind of time ;)
Abyway, that's pretty much what the day was like, time flew by as I continued drilling the holes on he board made out of really pretty birch....
So.... yeah :)

Day 16
IM SOO SORRY people...
My laptop has come down with a virus :'( So I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to make it work again. However, I'm going to blog for the last few days all at once here, so I don't get behind like what happened last year... hehhhh...
OKAYY...
Spit Run today!!!
We woke up, ate breakfast, and then Ralph and I went down to the high school (also the start of the race) and got our numbers, then we came back and got dressed for success! (.....) anyway, Ralph got first place in his age division!! Deb got about halfway up the list on her age division, which is reaslly good because there were a LOT of in-shape people in her age division!! I got 5th place out of 13 (oh... right, I didnt say.. I beat Deb ;)
When we got back, Deb informed us that she had popped a blood vessel in her calf, so s
