HERE'S A RITIN FRUM
FOR NOVEMBER 1999
Here's wat tyme it is in Dallus, Texus wear I live:
FOR NOVEMBER 1999
I shure have been busy doin things since the last tyme I rote 2 U. One of the things I did wus to go to a train show in a town kalled Ennis with my man and Mr. Robert who makes train layouts 4 childruns in hospitals 2 look at or play with if they are well enuf. I think maybe next month my man is goin 2 rite abowt what Mr. Robert does so I won't rite abowt it now.
The pitcher at the top is a pitcher of a brother & sister who cum 2 the train show with their momma and their daddy 2 C all the lektrik trains and things 2 build layouts with. Can you C that they are all dressed up like train dryvers? Their momma sed it wus okay 4 my man 2 take their pitcher holding me sew I culd use it in my ritin.
Here's 2 pitchers of the train layout Mr. Robert had at the train show 4 little kids to look at. See the big yellow looking thing? That's wat is kalled a crane and I got to make it go up and down and round and round just lyke a reel crane dus. It shure wus fun goin 2 the train show.
Well, I went with my man 2 Boston like I sed I wus goin 2 du. We had a reel gud trip and I`ll tell u sumpn abowt it. The firstust thing that happened wus that Unity Ayrlines cancelled our flyte from Dallas to Chikago but that wus okay cus the nice Unity Ayrlines lady made us a nu ticket to fly on Americun Ayrlines to Boston without stoppin in Chikago. Sew we got there maybe 2 hours earlier than my man had thot. That wus reel gud cus we got 2 C sum of Boston durin the cab ryde 2 the YMCA wear we were gonna stay. They shure are duin a lot of konstrukshun wurk in Boston. Specially sumpn kalled the BIG DIG. U kan tell wear the BIG DIG is cus there is a wooden blue and yellow wall wherever they are duin the diggin. I didn't quite understand what the Big Dig is but I think it is goin 2 be a great long tunnel 4 cars to drive in sew peples can cross the street without gettin run over. There shure are a lot of cars in Boston.
The YMCA wear we stayed shure wusn`t a fancy playce but it wus okay and my man sed that 61 dollars a nite wus a lot better than 200 dollars a nite. My man has stayed in lots of YMCAs and he sed this one wus shure a lot cleaner than sum he had been in. He sed it wus diffurnt in other ways, 2. They had a speshul part just for kollege students 2 live in cus it wus reel close to Northeastern University and there wus another speshul private part for ladies with little childruns to live cus they didn't have no other place to live. My man sed that the Boston YMCA seemed 2 du a reel gud job of workin with sumpn kalled the kommunity. And every morning we wuld see men and women cum in 2 du sumpn kalled 'work out'. Sew it wus a purty busy place.
The YMCA shure wus a konvenient place 4 us 2 stay cus there was a T stop just halfablock away. The T is wat Boston peples kall their transportashun system, just lyke we kall it DART here in Dallas. The T shure wus fun. Wat we rode wus the train that goes mostly underground and there are maps and signs tellin u wear to get off and how 2 catch another T train. My man bot us a 3 day pass so we could ryde all over Boston and get off wenever we wanted 2 and then get bak on and ryde sum more. It wus fun and one day everyone in the train kar we were on started laffing cus a pigeon had got in the train kar next 2 us and wus flying around inside and peples were tryin 2 keep it away frum them. I guess it finally flew out the door.
Here's a pitcher of wear all the T trains go. We were stayin on the green line rite by where it says Northeastern.
Mostly we jist walked around and luked at things but on Saturday Miss Lillian cum frum Maine 2 meet us. My man sed Miss Lillian wus the first person he met wen using his kompewter and that was maybe 6 or 5 years ago and it wus nyce 2 finally meet her in person. Well, Miss Lillian wus real nyce and sed she thot I did gud ritin wen I asked her abowt it. She culdn`t stay very long but we all had a nice lunch in the Prudential Building and then sat in the sunshine and visited for a while and then tuk a duck tour of the city. Here`s a picture of me and my man and Miss Lillian at the Christian Science Mother Church`s reflecting pool.
We didn't get 2 go in this purty church cus it wus klosed and my man sez he's sorry he didn't take sum reel gud pitchers of it. But here's a couple more of the pretty reflectshun pool.
It wus reel fun seein Boston frum a duck that could go on streets or in the water. My man sed it wus maybe the bestust tour we kuld have got. Here`s a pitcher of me sittin in the duck b4 the tour started and one of another duck out in the water takin other peples on a tour. It shure wus funny that sum of the peples in our duck were sumpn kalled TEXAS ALUMNI which means they went to kollege here in Texas. They were havin a big get 2 gether I guess. My man sed that is wat alumni du. It shure wus fun ridin on the duck.
It wus on Sunday we went 2 Charlestown Navy Yard on a ferry boat to see an old timey navy boat named Constitution that wus kalled Old Ironsides cus cannonballs bounced rite off of it. And we saw a Navy destroyer there, too. Old Ironsides wus 2 big 4 my man 2 get a gud pitcher of it but here's a pitcher he tuk of the place where they hang the sails and one of me with the sailor who told us all abowt Old Ironsides.
Here's a couple more pitchers of our trip to the Navy Yard.
On Monday we were goin 2 take a ferry boat from Boston to Salem, the witch town, but the weather was purty bad and the ferry wusn`t runnin sew we tuk the kommuter train. The boat wuld have been funner but the train wus okay and we saw sum reel purty foliage. We tuk a trolley tour of Salem and walked around and ate lunch before cumin bak to Boston. Here's a pitcher of me sittin in an old timey buryin place in Salem.
Wen we were walkin around Salem we saw a bookstore that had a sign sayin 'Don't let the cats out' so my man jist had 2 go in and see the cats. There were two really purty cats and my man got 2 pet them a little bit before they run off and hid. Then we walked around sum more and saw another store that had a sign sayin 'don't let out the cat'. So, guess wat, my man sed let's go in here and see the cat. This wus a diffurnt kind of store. My man sed it was a 'potion and lotion' store that sells things like witches use.
Well, we had the bestust tyme visitin in this store named Raven Moon. I think it wus Miss Raven who wus runnin the store, but I'm not shure that wus her name. Anyway, she wus reel nyce and so wus Miss Ariel who sed she wus 'hangin out' at the store.
Miss Ariel sed she wus a reel witch and she reely mite be cus my man thot he wus out of pitcher takin film but wen he tuk a pitcher of me and Miss Ariel the pitcher cum out reel gud. I didn't hear Miss Ariel say any magic wurds or anything but maybe she did a spell thing that made the pitcher cum out. I shure am glad cus I lyked Miss Ariel reel well.
They used to hang peoples in Salem who they thought were witches but Miss Ariel sed they don`t do that any more. My man and Miss Ariel had a real good visit talkin about Wiccan things. There was a kitty kat there, too. My man sed that wus probly sumthing called a familiar that witches have. Miss Ariel sure wus nice to talk to us so long. My man told her abowt a book he had a long tyme ago that was rit in Spanish but was all about duin spell things lyke making sumone rich or invisible or fallin in luv. He never did du none of them tho. He sed he don't know what happened to the buk.
Wen we got bak 2 Boston we walked around sum more cus it wusn't eatin tyme yet and it wus gettin warmer. My man sed he culdn't leave Boston without buyin sumpn at Filene's Department Store so we went there and then sat outside and ate an ice cream cone and watched all the peoples. It wus darktime wen we got bak to the YMCA cus my man decided 2 take a shortcut and you know what happens wen U take a shortcut. We almost got losted but it wus sort of fun anyway.
We cum bak 2 Dallus on Unity Ayrlines. Our big airplane wus reel crowded goin 2 Denver but the littler airyplayne frum there to Dallas wus most empty and we had three seats by ourselves.
We shure had a gud tyme goin 2 Boston and flew a purty long way. It is 1408 miles from Dallas to Boston on Americun Ayrlines and 2,212 miles the way Unity Ayrlines comes bak.
U have a reel gud Thanksgiving tyme.
