Dear Sam,

Did you know...

"DeForest Kelley (Star Trek's Dr. McCoy) was originally offered the role of Spock.

I thought you would appreciate that interesting tidbit. Anyways. I thought about what I was going to write all day today and it took a long time to come up with something. I did decide, however, that I am going to try to include a relevant picture everytime I post. Blogs without pictures can get a teensy boring.



I am going to tell you about the delicious cheesecake you missed:

When I make cheesecake, instead of putting custard powder I usually put in j-ello; either vanilla or chocolate. This time, I was out of both of those flavors so I tried banana j-ello. My entire family protested but I did it anyways and I thought it turned out wonderful. Megan came over and had some and took some for James, and Stephanie snagged a piece as well. They all thought it delicious. I wish I could've saved some for you but my family got to the leftovers first... Sorry. Why exactally could you not come?

As you can see, I got to use my new cake plate!! :] That thing is so dang cute. When we make your mothers birthday cake we can put it on there... along with these candles:

But just look at the candles, not the cake. Aren't they so cool!? Here's an excerpt from the journal:

July 24th, 2010

" P.S. I thought of another thing. We should write a note in the front of this book talking to the person who finds this if it ever gets lost. I have written a note and put my contact info in the front on the first page. You should put your contact info in too."

Here's the note

" Dear Finder,

Well, that's about it... Hope your Labor day is wonderful and relaxing :] See you on Tuesday.
