Creepy Close-Up of the Week . . . The Hole

Dude Boy made out like a bandit this xmas. One of the items that we will be using extensively for home schooling is a Digital Blue USB microscope that was a gift from Tracy, Ralph, Phyllis and Charlie Dog. We will use the microscope for a weekly blog entry that we will call “Creepy Close-Up of the Week.” Our first installment is The Hole.

Dude Boy's Christmas

Dear Family and Friends,
I had to go to sleep early on Christmas eve. On Christmas day, I opened a lot of presents. Then I helped my mother make a gingerbread house. Later my grandparents and my uncle came over for Christmas dinner. Nana and Papa gave me a quill that really writes. Saturday we went to Ralph and Tracy’s for Pa’s 80th birthday and the Fife family Christmas party. Mane made me a uniform of a revolutionary war soldier, and she also made me a magician’s outfit. Thanks to everyone for all my presents. I liked everything!
Happy New Year!
Dude Boy

Pa's 80th Birthday

Winter break!

Hello family and friends,
Today we put up our Christmas tree. I have started my winter vacation. I really needed a break! We will still do some fun day trips. I am going to Mane and Pa’s for a few days. I will write again when I get back.
Love, Dude Boy

Letter of the Week . . . Caves

Hello family and friends,
Fun day this week was all about caves. First we went to Diamond Caverns. It is a pretty cave with neat formations. Then we learned about the famous cave explorer Floyd Collins. We went to Sand cave. While exploring the cave, his leg got trapped by a rock and he died. Then we went to his grave. The top of his tombstone was covered with pennies.

Love, Dude Boy

An early Christmas present

Hey,
I got an early Christmas present! It’s a piano. We had to get a BIG U-haul to get it here. Thank you to Uncle John and Uncle Vic for helping us move it. It is a Baldwin Acrosonic from the early 1950’s. I like the way it sounds. Listen to me play Ode to Joy by Beethoven.
Love, Dude Boy

11.30.07 Letter of the Week

Hello you all,
Welcome to my new blog. Visit the blog to see my Letter of the Week. I got sick this week, so no “fun-day” to write about. I have many projects planned for the future. Check back and look at what I am doing!

For this post, I am also including our animation that was inspired by Georges Méliès Un Homme de Têtes (1898).

Love, Dude Boy
