Well, its another rainy day. I wonder what I will do? First, I think I’ll take a walk around the neyborhood to stretch my legs. Second I’ll cook a big breakfast with toast fruit eggs and bacon. After that, I might mow my lawn; it’s getting pretty long. I’m not sure what I’ll do after that. I guess I should go see my mother. I think she wants me to go grocery shopping with her. I have no idea why she can’t just go by her self. Or, better still, she could ask my dad to go with her! I doubt he will want to go with her though. He doesn’t like going to the grocery store as much as I do!
