Their names are Adam (16) and Erica (13). Julz' favorite kind of coffee is a Tim Horton's medium double double. She also told me she is addicted to it. She lives in Brockport, New York. She has a pet yorkie her name is Millie. She has had glasses since second grade and really likes her red ones. She has a career in teaching. She teaches fourth grade. She is Democratic, with a capital D. Her favorite book is The Secret Life of Bees. If she could have one meal for the rest of her life it would be her Thanksgiving Dinner. Her favorite color is green and she likes giraffes and hippos. Her favorite day of the week is Friday. She also told me she liked being interviewed by me. I think Julz is nice and funny.

Attard's Restaurant, Olean, NY
Attard's french fries have always been number two on our top ten french fry list. It's true they are one of the best. Last time I went to Attard's I was visiting with my aunt Toni and uncle Larry.When the waiter came around take our orders for appetizers I was looking at the menu and saw garlic fries. The waiter didn't take my order sinse I was a kid, but lucky for me my mom wanted some too. When they came we looked in shock.They looked so good. I was the first one to try one. It was a perfect mix of garlic and french fries.(I really do love my garlic and french fries). They were crispy and airy. I love them. Surprisingly the garlic really sank in.   
Peace out! Trinity :D 

I love piggies. They snore. I love the smell good of them. I like to sleep with them. They snore. One of my piggies talks a lot. My smelly piggy comes from Aunt Toni. I like to run them around. I'm all done now.

Chester A. Arthur was the 21st president. He was born October 5, 1829 in Fairfield, Vermont. He was a Republican. He was in office from September 20, 1881 to March 3, 1885. He had no vice president. He was married to nobody. I know you're thinking--who was the first lady? It was Mary Arthur McElroy, his sister. Sadly he died on November 18, 1886. He was the first president to hire a personal servant. Arthur had more than 80 pairs of pants and changed several times a day. He dedicated the Washington Monument on February 21,1885. After he took office he learned he had kidney disease but he kept it a secret. I think he was a very brave man because even though he had kidney disease he managed to survive one term as a president. He truly was an amazing president.

A few years ago we started a garden with our family friend Dave. I planted many different things such as potatoes,tomatoes, eggplants, and much more. But this year I planted herbs. I never planted herbs before. It's kind of cool--there are so many! Basil, parsley, cilantro, oregano, and thyme are some examples. But if you're going to garden you're going to get dirty.

For me I got very dirty because it just rained, but I would do it on a cool, sunny day. If you buy herbs from a store, you have to dig a deep hole and get dirty! An easy way to get the the plant out of the pot or whatever is holding it is to squeeze it twice upside down, put your hand on the top of the soil, and let the plant drop into your hand.

Gardening for me is one of my favorite things to do. Doing herbs is fun because I get to plant them and then eat them. (I sometimes don't get to plant some because Dave plants them when I'm not home.) But I love everything you do in gardening, even weeding. There' s no better vegetable or fruit than ones you grow yourself. And I say try it! It's something really fun to do. :D

Peace out! Trinity

I love her. Her so nice. Her so beautiful. And cute. And her nice and I love her so much. Her's my best friend and I used to love her when she was a baby. She's snuggly and rough. She's white. [Note from the mom...blanky is actually what we call peige--a grayish shade of pink/beige.] I swing her, I throw her, and I sleep with her. She goes to school with me and helps me nap. I snuggle her. All done.

A few days ago my sisters, my mom,and I went to Sunset Bay on Lake Erie. From the parking lot you walk to a path that leads you to a small beach.

Standing by the water. I'm the middle one. Right when we walked on to the beach Mom found some sea glass! At first I couldn't find any at all. But once I got closer to the water there was more and more.

Here's Trin picking up some sea-glass. First I found lots of white ones and then I found a few greens and then I noticed something purple I walked towards it and realized it was purple sea glass! When I showed it to my mom she said it was too sharp and threw it back into the water. After that I was kind of upset but that gave me the motive to find an even better one!

When we were walking back to the path I found a dark blue piece. When I showed my mom she told me it was colbalt, one of the rarest kinds. I was very happy!

After that we went to a restaurant in Gowanda, NY called the Olympia. We got calamari to share and I had chicken fingers and fries. The most interesting thing though was my drink...it was Loganberry juice. It tastes like a mix of cherry and other kinds of fruit. I give it a thumbs up!

On the way home we went up and down some very tall hills. My sisters and I screamed really loud like we were on a roller coaster. This was definitely one of the most fun adventures we've ever had!

Portville Drive In, Portville, NY
The Portville Drive In is great for outdoor movies. But for me it's known for something else too. There's two screens: Screen number one has best view of the movie, but screen number two is closer to the place with the best french fries. When you go in it looks like a ordinary place for food and drinks. They sell popcorn, all kinds of candy, and of course french fries. They look like normal french fries. Take it from me, they're not. Me and my mom love french french fries, so we make a top ten list. I's very hard to get on the list, but the Portville Drive In deserves it. I am proud to present that the Portville Drive In french fries are our number one french fry we've ever tasted! A five star french fry has been announced! So what makes it five star? Well...it's just one of a kind. I've tried many different crinkle cuts but let's just say there soft and floury in the inside but hard and crispy on the outside. I say everybody who likes french fries, go down to the NY Portville Drive In and try them. Trust me you won't regret it. :D
Peace out! Trinity
