Indiana Annie and Jamie Jones

This morning at about nine o'clock I heard my Dad and Jamie talking about something. In my half sleepiness I asked my Dad what they were talking about. Dad said "Mom will show you what we are talking about downstairs". So I hobbled downstairs and asked Mom and she showed me some Dutch tiles Dad got from a yard sale.Mom also said that Dad wanted us to go in the "tunnel" to find some tiles that he put in there a couple years ago. Well when we opened the "tunnel" and shone the flash light in there was this dead mouse looking thing. I asked my Dad what it was and he said it wasn't a dead mouse because it had been there since we moved here. I still think it is a dead mouse. I covered "it" with a rag and kept crawling. My dad said we would give Jamie and I a prize if we found the Dutch tiles. Well after searching for about an hour in a cold,hard floored,claustrophobic "tunnel" we gave up. It was nearly impossible to find one little stack of tiles in many boxes Mom let us have our prize.Mom said to go outside on the front porch to get it. When I looked I saw two bikes; the light blue one being mine and the dark blue being Jamie's. Both bikes go up to eighteen speed and have brakes on the handle bars. The one thing I will have to get used to is using the hand brake instead of just rotating my pedals backward because I have never had a gear bike. I am so happy now I can ride outside on a bike that actually fits me and get my stamina up so I won't be so tired from being outside all day when I go to M-Fuge in the Summer with my Youth Group!!!

That's cool! I've only had one new bike in my entire life time.

Normally I have a bike for a bunch of years before I get new one.
