Gazeebo Gone
Straight-line winds came through our yard yesterday and destroyed our gazeebo. Jenny and I watched as it became airborne, spun around like Dorothy's house and then landed, in a twisted pile of metal, in the lilac bushes.

'Never Argue With A Woman'
One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.
Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious? ').
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'
'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.
'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Olivia's Winning Scholarship Submission
4-22-08
Space Adventure
Why am I interested?
I am interested because, I thought it would be fun, and adventurous. It will be the first time that I travel to a different state without my parents. I will learn more about math, science and engineering. Although I want to be a librarian, to learn about that I would have to get a degree in education and literature research. This experience will help me with school and college by learning through experience, and observations.
How will I benefit?
Although I wasn't thinking about the benefits when I got the brochure, now that I have thought about it more, I never really learned about space exploration. I may be good at math but I can always learn more! Through this experience I will learn about science and engineering. Relating back to my previous comment about being a librarian, I should know about research and many kinds of topics. I am an independent person even though I am eleven, this experience is important to me to do on my own, without my parents. I can't wait to go to Huntsville and experience all the new learning and awesome space adventures along with the sites.
sincerely,
Olivia.L.Jorde
