Yesterday we had to cancel our visit to Brookegreen Garden due to a thunder storm so instead a few of us went to Broadway on the Beach to shop, go to a movie, or Magiquest. I went to Magiquest and had a great time! I spent 90 minutes there and after I was done I bought a tunic, belt, and some magic runes to empower my wand. Today we are leaving to go back home.

august 14.
I got sicker so I didnt go on any more outings. At the Oprey we got lost and read the signs which we cracked up over. There is a resturant called Suck Bang Blow right across from another place called Cooters. This is after a row of restarunts called the dead dog saloon, drunken jacks, crazy sisters reef, bubba's love shack. The names were so awful it was hilarious! I figured that the district was really an undercover red light district. We proceeded to get lost on the way to the Oprey and from there the signs only got worse. Rent-a-tool, rent-a-party, shiver me pincers, the bed man, bad kitty, the foxy lady, this combined with the piggly wiggly and the food lion made for some serious southern prioritizing. There was a billboard for a womens hair cutting salon for men and a accidental baby choose life bill board. All this combined to make for a hilarious car ride which was way more personally fulfilling and more fun then the Oprey which was in my opinion a combination of a light show and good karaoke singers. I slept through most of it. The place we went to dinner was god awful. Misty and I shared a look once we saw the seafood buffet food. Never trust a person who doesn't eat at night for dinner reservations. Every thing was old, fried and over cooked. There were no mixed greens and everything looked like it had been sitting there all day. No one else seemed to mind, though. They loved the Oprey and they actullay thought the jokes were funny. Its kind of hard to follow the funny jokes when your eyes are closed. Flashjing lights and smoke really aren't my thing. I got sicker. Now I am puking up everything in my stomach. I got into a misunderstanding with Mary and started crying. AJ and Ed comforted me. Well it has been a stressful morning. I just feel so bad because the topic is one that i really care about but I recieve no support on. I wish Mary had been more gently encouraging. I guess someone just over estimated me again. Not bad though. I had a good time.

Dear Deb,
I like the stay at home. I helped the Habitat for Hummanity at the store and moved the funiture and cut the string. When I am with Mary I did shopping for a gift for Cindy. We went to Piggly Wiggly and the Walmart to buy gifts for staff at the last minute. I cleaned the house in the bathroom and packed for the trip back to school. The last Church we ate Lunch at, after I took a short shower, I ate PBJ and Carrots and Banana and Lemon Cake and the Ice cream. I got an awards with the smiling bc I'm always smiling and laugh with people all of the time and talk about the stores with Mary and Misty. I gave Mary and Misty cards to thank the two staff members. I will miss Habitat for Hummanity and the people.

Yesterday's ativity was canceled due to weather, but it turned out good because I saw a movie and got to look at some place that was like some RPG in real life called Magi Quest. I would like to see that place some other time.

Dear friends and family
Well this is it. I'm going home. My work is done, and I'm going back to Austin. I went to the mall but didn't buy anything I just did some window shopping. I got some good pictures and Ethan and me jammed playing guitar together. Well I guess this is all I have to say. Well, bye.

Today we prepped some wood to put the roof on. The roof would have been hard for us so the professionals worked on it instead. After we finished working on the house we went to the Habitat store. While we were there we all had to pile up the wood and tie the strings. Then we had lunch at the church. Today's lunches were grilled cheese sandwiches with potato soup, carrots and potato chips. The drinks were sweetened tea and unsweetened tea. I hated the unsweetened tea. I mean I didn't exactly hate it, but I didn't like the taste at all so it just didn't appeal to me. This is the last chapter so read this please. Thank you.
