New Staff Member Hired!
We have an upgrade! The Kazette has the Sideline called "The Northern Informer"! Welcome, Northern Informer to the Kazette! All stories are checked by my "awesome" editor, so they are good!
I am learning to play the piano! I am now plaing with both hands, using broken chords, and using the damper pedal! Yay me!
Caeley's newspaper, "The Caeley Free Press", is going great! Contact my editor, and you can read the latest edition of it!
I am now writing three books! I can show two of the names, though! The first is "Murder?". It is a mystery novel, about a twenty-one-year-old who is asked to solve a mystery. Someone is sending out death threats to the head librarian, and when she is found dead, Felicity knows this person is serious. The other book is called "Grandpa", a World War II veteran with Alzheimers, about my ninety-year-old grandfather who is losing his memory.
Caeley had a birthday. She turned ten! Yes, Caeley is ten! Yaaaa!
Family News - By My Family!
One family member writes a story for the Kazette. First person to write a story is Caeley!
"Today it is November 27. I am so happy that tomorrow is my birthday! My grandma and grandpa sent me twenty-five dollars for my birthday. I know what I am doing with ten dollars - I am going to buy a Cabbage Patch doll at the Family Dollar!"
Humor
Starting Early
A little boy weas lost during the Christmas shopping rush. he was standing in an aisle of the busy department store crying, "I want my mommy!". People kept passing by, giving the unhappy youngster nickels and dimes.
Finally a floor walker came over to him and said, "I know where your mommy is.". The little boy looked up with his tear-drenched eyes, and said, "So do I... just keep quiet!"

The Northern Informer
Merry Christmas! I am glad to be part of this paper! I will tell you the updates at my house. But first, here is a bit about me. I am a mother of three adults (two girls and a boy), I live out in the country (a wonderful place), I have a ten-year old dog, and I am married to a wonderful man.
On the way to my church (that is forty miles away), we saw three large birds circling in the sky. We soon saw one was a crow, and the other two were Bald Eagles! We saw lots of their nests, hidden in the trees. They were huge!
Well, I am out of time! See you next time on The Northern Informer!
