A Great Day

I think I would like to tell everyone about my lovely day yesterday. I went with my mom, grandma, and sister to the Rose Story Farm. We took a tour and then had a very nice lunch. What a neat place. Afterward, we took Kelli to C Street where her and my dad were going to be having a little surfing trip for the next couple days. Mom and I stayed for a little while and we all walked out onto the pier. Dolphins were swimming over by the surfers and even jumping right out of the water. I love watching the dolphins. Then we saw a sea lion swimming below the pier. Some guy that was fishing threw it a fish. The sea lion, who was just lazily floating around, tasted it and then spit it back out. Never seen that before. And swam off when the guy threw another fish down. Then mom and I left the beach and went to my favorite used book store in Ventura. The Calico Cat Book Store. Mrs. Margenat is very nice and so knowledgable, I have learned quite a lot about collectible books from her. They had a first edition For Whom the Bell Tolls. I could hardly contain my excitement. After many longing looks at the bookshelf my mom broke down and decided to buy it for me. Needless to say, she received many hugs and many thanks from me. My dad called and she informed him that we had made "an investment" in a book. Then we came home and ordered Chinese food and rented Sense and Sensibility. A wonderful day it was indeed. Much needed too, since most of today was spent washing windows.
