Books, Rhyming, Oprah and Germany

Daisy-
            I just finished a book, The Patron Saint of Butterflies, and for the first time in a lloooooooooooonngggg time I actually cried when I finished it. It is all about a commune where the people strive for perfection. It follows two girls,one, Agnes, makes it her life's work to become a saint. She has a rope that she ties around her waist and tightens it whenever she is comfortable. The other girl, Honey, is a rebel who was abandoned at the commune. If any child is bad, they are sent to the regulation room where they are whipped, which they think is perfectly acceptable. However, when Agnes's grandmother comes and takes the girls away from the place, preparing for a lawsuit, the girls discover the wrongs of the life in the commune. A really touching young adult novel that I think is perfect for religious reading with a young adult twist.
            My campaign is doing very well. Katie and I have our posters up and are going to hand out our candy next week.

Henry- 
               Hello it's Henry! First before my story I have to clear up some things. First instead of "Quote of the day" it will be "Quote of the week" since this a weekly blog. Last post's quote was from The Doctor, the main character in my favorite show, Doctor Who. Now my story.  I was mad because everyone in family had a rhyming  name, Jackie wacky, Daisy crazy, Chester jester/Chetty sweaty. So to get revenge I made up a word that rhymes with orange (you could say "door hinge" but it depends on how you pronounce it) here we go FLORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It means amazingly awesome or cool, As in......."Hi i'm Henry I invented a word, so I am so florange".
Now for quote of the week:
 "I got a rock"
            Charlie Brown.

Our village (Hildrizhausen)


I want to say that I like living in Germany.  Because I like it when it snows.  We have a fire and we get to roast marshmallows in it.  There are windmills here like in GTMO.  There are no telephone boxes here, the kind where you put in a penny and make a call.  Hunde means dog in German.
