We are having drama classes every Thursday, and at the end of the semester we will be putting on a small performance of Peter Pan, which we just auditioned for. I don't now who I am yet, the teacher will make the final decision.
I am very wobbly on the skate board but getting back in the habit of skid stops, side surfers and skip sides. I haven't really lost my bike talents, I can still ride with both hands in the sky but not for as long as before.
We went camping recently with the people who are living in our old house , one of them is a student of dad's. I heaved huge sticks about and with a little of dad's and Sage's help built a bark and log fort. We found a star fish, looked for crabs and got chased by the great god of the beach for stealing gold.
About a week or so ago I fell in the pool. I don't know how but I did. I was just looking at a spider and all of a sudden I realized I was in the pool. it wasn't cold and I didn't go under because I was in the shallow end.
One of the best things about being back is seeing our cats dolphin and Melio again. Dolphin is still the best cat that we could have picked and totally remembers us and is taking up his usual habits of suckling on my poncho and playing with the rug. He is a sweet, soft, playful, handsome, cute, alert, fit and adventurous cat. Melio is certainly fatter than when we left him so we are putting him on a diet. Melio is very cute, a bit whiny, quite needy and lazy. He also makes the funniest expressions, with his ears back and his eyes wide and glaring. I wrote this poem about cats we saw on trips to the library:
Cats We Saw On The Way To The Library
On the way to the library we saw several cats,
Out of these three wonders the first one that met my eye was a pure white cat with fur so flat and a twinkle in it's eye,
Out of these three wonders the second ones that stole my stare were two tabby cats with tails flapping like bats licking each other like mermaids on the sidewalk,
Out of these three wonders the third kitten i saw was a tiny cat who sat on my lap and dug his head in my arm.
I am sorry I didn't post any thing about Scotland

Maya, I love your writing! We have been so happy to have you back in Fresno. Did you take the photos yourself, too?
I hope that the Peter Pan performance will be open to friends...Josie and I would love to see you & Sage perform, no matter which role you get. Are you hoping to be a certain character or will you be happy with any role?
Can't wait to see you on your skateboard soon! Today feels rather cold/chilly compared to yesterday. We were outside for a bit but came inside so Josie can do some homework. Hoping to see you later this afternoon.
Nice to hear from you. But as Helen pointed out, you only didn't write about Scotland cause you were having so much fun you didn't have time to do any writing about how fun Scotland was!
Hey Maya - can you type on the computer or did you get Mum to type for you? It's great to hear what you've been up to since you got back - just watch out when you're looking at spiders won't you! Beautiful photos too, did you take the one of the cat - is that Melio or Dolphin? I was showing Molly this afternoon.

I wish I could have thought of cats 'licking each other like mermaids on the sidewalk'. What an image!! True, you couldn't have done a lot of skateboarding around Bousta when you were here, but there are ... other ... fun things ...? Was that the angry god of the beach running down the gully?
Hi Maya! Lovely to hear from you, it sounds like you've been pretty busy since being back. Shame about the swimming pool, but it did make me laugh. I'm loving all your art. especially the pictures of the cats, one of them, black on white reminds me of my cat Mopsy who you would have loved. I used to push her around in my old dolls pram when i was wee as she lay snoozing and purring.
Daisy still has your picture up on her wall and she is now sitting up and is very into stroking it at the moment so i think she must think it is real! joanna xx
Hi Maya! It's Hunter! Did you have a good time in Scotland? I love the picture Kingdom Cats.My life is kind of crazy right now. I don't know if I'm skipping 5th grade or what school I'm going to.Bye for now!!!!P.S. I miss you!!!!
