Sarah Plain and Tall

                                                               Hey guys!
For my birthday last year my Grandma sent me an aduio recording of Sarah Plain And Tall. This year for school I have to read Sarah Plain And Tall. So I just listened to the recording that my Grandma made. Are you ready?!


Anna Witting was baking bread one spring morning. While her little brother Caleb  was watching and asking questions about their Mother who had died several years ago. They were having fun together when Anna looked up and saw Papa coming in. He told them that he had placed an ad in the newspaper for a wife. And he had received an answer. Her name was Sarah. She told them that she was plain and tall. She lived in Main and had a cat named Seal.


After sending letters back and forth for a few months, Sarah said that she would come to visit. If she liked Papa and Anna and Caleb and their house, she would stay. She was coming on the 9:30 train and she would wear a yellow bonnet. Finally a week later Papa left to pick Sarah up. Caleb couldn't wait for Sarah to come. Anna wasn't so sure she wanted Sarah to come. She knew how to bake bread, but did Sarah? Finally the wagon came into view. "I see a yellow bonnet!" Caleb cried with excitement.


That night Sarah taught them how to sing, "Summer Is a Coming In." The dogs loved Sarah and Seal. The next day when Anna woke up, Sarah was making breakfast. Sarah fixed Anna's hair just like hers. Anna was happy because she looked like Sarah. During lunch Sarah told them that when she was little she and her brother liked playing on the sand dunes that they had in Main. After lunch Papa went to the barn. He called for Sarah Anna and Caleb to come see. Papa had made a dune out of hay! Sarah loved sliding down it.

Sarah taught Anna and Caleb how to swim in the cow pond. Papa taught Sarah how to drive the wagon. So she could go to town to get some food. Sarah was gone a long time. Caleb was worried that she had left to go back to Main. But a few minutes later she came back with some surprises. She had bought some penciles to color with. They were the colors of the sea.

Anna was happy she had just found out some exciting news. Sarah was going to stay! She was going to be Anna and Caleb's mother and Papa's new wife. Everyone was excited There was going to be a wedding soon. Finally Papa and Sarah was married and they lived happily ever after.

Well hope you enjoyed! See you next time!

I'm running a half marathon?!?

 You've probably already gathered from the title. But yes I am running a half marathon. 13.1 miles to be exact. Yes I'm scared, and no I'm not crazy (I think). Anyway I decided to document this journey with a weekly vlog recap over on my TikTok account. (It's rebecca.pyatskowit if you were wondering, as I'm sure you were haha.) But I also thought it might be fun to write down some of the things I'm thinking while out on my runs. Either to encourage, entertain, uplift, and or give you someone to feel sorry for. I've found that I really appreciate watching and learning from other runners via social media. It helps knowing that if someone else can do it so can I, and if I'm ever having a bad run someone else has probably had a much worse one and so on. So here I am joining the trend and documenting this journey for all you lovely people to follow along with. :) So how did I get here? First I got convinced by my best friend to do it. I had already been wanti...

Happy Birthday - Selfie Sunday

                                                 Hey Guys! What's up?! A few days ago my cousin had her birthday party at Bay Beach! We left after Church and went to Culver's for lunch. Then we headed to Bay Beach. Bay Beach is a really fun amusement park. There are a lot of fun rides!                                                                    #slefiesunday #swings                                  Elise didn't want to go on the scat so she took pictures instead. The scat is my favorite ride at Bay Beach. But sadly no one else's, so we only went on it once.           ...
