Jimmy's car show

Jimmy’s

Car Show

-White Bear MN – Sunday, July 10^th 2011, in the parking lot at Jimmy’s the American Muscle Street Rod Car Show took place. There were over 100 cars there ranging in makes and models. Color and Style was evident in all the cars. And someone as inexperienced as me, could see that time was put into all of them as well.

At the Car Show the first car we saw was an Amphicar. An Amphicar is a car that was made to drive on the road and the water. The car I saw was white with red seats and had propellers in the back under where the trunk would be. The car was owned by a man named Ken.

The second car I saw was a 1960 Ford F100 Pickup. The man who owned it was named Mike and he lives in Lino Lakes MN. It was red and had original parts and a wood floor in the back of the truck.

After the Pickup I saw a 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS. (super-sport) It was owned by my Grandpa but then he died and now my Uncle Chris does stuff with it. “Part of the reason I like the Impala is because Papa liked it.” Chris stated. Last year he won the Best Classic Car for 2010 by Best Buy. 5 cool facts about his car are: It was built by a man named Jerry Thomas. It is a unique color that is usually used on corvettes. The motor is from 1961. It was built in Janesville WI. And it is 47 years old.

The next car I saw was a 1969 ½ Super Rare-Super Bee. It was Electric Green and was owned by a couple named Dan & Darsey.

An ElCamino. That was the next car
I saw. It was a 1968 ElCamino that was a dark navy blue. It was owned by a man named Scott and he told me that he loves blue.

Another car I saw was an Austin-Healey Bug-Eye Sprite. It was owned by a man named Dave who was from England. It was black and had flames all over it.

The last car I saw was a 1923 model T c-cap fire truck. He had spent a whole winter on it in other words he built it himself in six months. It had metal seats from an airplane and eye stickers on its engine.

Bedtime thoughts

Hey Everybody,

Last night I couldn't fall asleep. I was thinking about how I could make my blog Pie-News, not random thoughts. Then I thought I could maybe try writing articles. I have written an article before and I got an A. It was about a boy named Johnny and well, I have to start from the beginning. So last year over Christmas break I had to read the book Johnny Tremain, by Esther Forbes.It was a good book but I don't think I need to read it again.(it's kinda a boy's book) Anyway, later I had to write an article about something that happened in the book, for writing class. Some tips about writing articles are: The first paragraph should be all a person needs to read to understand what happened if they don't have time to read the whole thing. Second, have some quotes from people who were part of the story. (I used quotes from Paul Revere and Mr. John Hancock. Note that in the book they did say these things but not for this article.) Here is my article I hope you like it. Notice the first paragraph and quotes.

Promising Young Apprentice Burns Hand

BOSTON - Up and coming apprentice, Johnny Tremain, received a serious injury causing his thumb to be melted to the side of his right hand, at the Lapham Silversmith Shop Sunday afternoon. Such an injury has ruined his dream to be a silversmith.

The accident happened while Johnny was working on an order for Mr. John Hancock. His fellow apprentice handed him a cracked crucible as a joke to teach him a lesson. When the crucible was filled with hot silver, it broke spilling silver all over the furnace and onto the floor. Johnny slipped and put his hand on the furnace to catch himself. Unfortunately, his hand landed in the molten silver scorching it immediately.

“Just a few weeks earlier I had asked if he’d like to accompany me in my work,” stated Mr. Paul Revere. “I told him I would pay his unexpired time and that if Mr. Lapham wasn’t sure to tell him I’d pay a little more. But now that the boy is crippled, he’ll be no help to me.”

Mrs. Lapham did not call a doctor but a midwife, because she didn’t want it to be discovered that they were breaking the Sabbath. They called Gran ‘Hopper, an older woman who lives down the street.

After returning home and finding that his family had worked behind his back, Mr. Lapham melted down the creamer that they were making for Mr. Hancock.

“I never did receive the creamer that I ordered for my Aunt Lydia Hancock’s birthday.” Mr. Hancock explained with a sigh, “We did have a whole set but a clumsy maid melted the creamer.”

Johnny is still recovering, but doing well. He now delivers papers for the Boston Observer on his horse Goblin.

Fireworks, Friends, and freedom.

Fireworks,
Friends, and
Freedom!!!!!!!!

First of all, FIREWORKS: We went to my grandparent's house for the 4th and got to go on a boat, on White Bear Lake, to watch the Fireworks.! Today my grandma and I thought of a way to grade fireworks: On a piece of paper make five columns, one column for each letter. (A-B-C-D-F) Then when you see a firework grade it. (put a tally under the grade you give the firework.) Later add up all the tallies and average them out. then you have your Fireworks GPA. :)

Next, FRIENDS: Some of our friends came all the way up from Illinois to visit our cousins and we got to see them on the fourth!!!!! (they came with our cousins to grandma's.) We also got to see family on my grandma's side that we hadn't seen for almost a year.

Finally, FREEDOM: My mom can walk!!!!!!!!!! She is so happy and now is almost free. She still uses one crutch to help her along but is able to put weight on her leg and foot.

By By :)
