Our Vacations (by K. E.)

During my trip to Cancun, Mexico with my husband and daughter, we spent a great vacation time. We enjoyed the beach, pools, food, etc. We went to different places there like Isla Mujeres, a beautiful place to visit. Our daughter got sick during the first day on our trip because of the weather changes between Michigan weather vs. Mexico weather!!!!!
We spent seven days in Cancun at least, and we had fun days.
I can't wait for other vacations like this one on the beach. We are planning something for next year, maybe in Orlando or Los Cabos. I'm sure that will be great!!!
I love to spend time with my family in special places.
Our House (by A. M.)

Our family has a house. It is new to us. We like it because we have more room. We have a back yard for our daughter to play. We have room in the yard for a garden. I planted peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, and zucchini. It was an easy garden for me. It's almost gone now because winter time is coming.
There is a lot of work to do in our house. I have to fix all the windows to keep the cold air from blowing in. I caulk them and paint the frames. I put on storm windows too. I also put on storm doors. This will keep our house warmer this winter.
Growing Up (by T. J.)

When I was a young child growing up, it wasn't always easy. The chores were feeding the animals, working in the garden, doing dishes, and mowing the lawn. There was always something to do! It seemed like my mother was always busy. All the other kids went to school. I didn't care for school. I thought I was smart enough, but now, here I am, a grandma, and I'm back in school. I love every minute of it, and I'm learning something new every day.
My Family (by J. T.)

I have a family of my own. They like to play and find animals like frogs, fish, snakes, bugs, and butterflies. We have six cats and two dogs. They keep me busy all the time. They like to play a lot with my son and I, and his dad too. We like to be outdoors. It is an adventure to hike in the woods and to pick up leaves and flowers.
Moving Up (by A. F.)

I asked the manager if I could move to the east side so I could have a better apartment with a view. This would make me feel better. The manager told me it would cost $600.00. If the doctor gave me a prescription, I could save $600.00. Dr Haddad wrote a prescription for me, and I packed everthing. My grandson Taylor and his friend came to help me move. They put everything on the dolly and took it up the elevator. It took me three days to get settled. Now I do not see the back of the bowling alley anymore. From apartment 1212, I can see the sunrise and the City of Adrian.

What I Like To Do For Recreation (by E. S.)

I really enjoy knitting. I joined a knitting class about three months ago. I've met a lot of nice women who love to knit. They have helped me a lot. I'm making my daughter a robin egg blue scarf. I hope that she will like it.
I enjoy knitting in the winter because it gives me something to do when it is too cold to be outside.
In the evening, I snuggle up with a throw. Then I get my needles and yarn and start working on a knitting project.
Knitting helps me to relax. I enjoy making gifts for my family and friends.
