“Peter, I’m thinking about us going to Acadia National Park in Maine for a day or two, what do you think?”
“I don’t know, mom, I guess.”
She then asked my brother who seemed pretty excited about it. I ate half my breakfast before
It was a crisp spring day the birds were chirping and the bugs were buzzing and my brother and I, at the age of 10, were playing around in the backyard of our house. All we were doing was just playing around in the backyard having a fun time being normal children as always. Then I came up with this perfect idea to play hockey because since we all love hockey. So we wouldn't work garage I got a plastic baseball bat and my brother got a wooden baseball bat plus a whiffle ball.…
Founding Brothers, whom the author is Joseph Ellis, had six sections that are used to show how the leaders of the Revolutionary Generation reveal their uncertainty about the ability of the new republic to survive and the two issues that threaten the nation, slavery, and the parties’ differences. The book is focused on Aaron Burr, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. The six sections outline the events Ellis sees as main points in the time period after the founding of the U.S. Out of the many events he could’ve chosen to write about, he chose to use a section to explain The Duel,…
I remember the one day, it was early in the morning and I was going to my basketball game. We stopped to help this lady get home by giving her a ride. Then once we dropped the lady off at her house we drove off and had to stop for some deer to cross the road. Once the deer crossed the road, we were finally off to the game, we made it to the game with time to spare. With the time we had to spare I had some biscuits and gravy, and i devoured them in seconds and had some orange juice after.…
“Please, Miss Bishop, I’d love to go with you anywhere. We could hike the mountains around here and have a marvelous time. I could be ready in a heartbeat, but I’ll never go to Putney Mountain.” Winking at his friends, Neal laughed.…
It was my first all-nighter with my church youth group. It was the night I discovered I had hypoglycemia. I was so worried that I would fall asleep and not be able to stay awake through the night. I was only in 7th grade and wanted to stay up and prove myself to all of the older kids. I drank a Monster and ate a bunch of candy and sweets to stay awake. I had a major sugar high. Then, at about 3 am I crashed. I was nauseous and all I wanted to do was sleep. I had had no protein or any food of substance the whole night, which affected my blood sugar. I ended up having someone drive me home and I went to sleep. I was extremely exhausted, but, like the article said, it was a rough night’s sleep. I kept on waking up through the night. I then found out the next week that I had hypoglycemia and now I know how to manage it.…
Our adventure began, the weekend of Thanksgiving we were off to visit Soda Springs! We were going to visit my great-grandmother's cabin it was and there was a storm coming in. Just 4 hours to go. We drove to Auburn and had dinner. After a delicious meal my dad said that we should go get the food for Thanksgiving. Both my mom and I disagreed because we were way too tired to shop my dad said that he could get it tomorrow morning. We jumped into the car and we were off again! Just 1 hour…
I believe the day was a Monday. Or a Tuesday. The tiny details are a bit fuzzy at the moment. Anyways, I woke up to the ringing of my phone.…
An exclusive use clause is a valuable and often negotiated provision in leases. An “exclusive” prohibits a landlord from leasing space to another tenant that will operate a similar business or sell similar products. For example, a gym tenant may seek an exclusive to prevent the landlord from leasing space to other gyms, or a donut shop may seek an exclusive to prevent another tenant from selling baked goods for on or off premises consumption. Consider the following tips when negotiating an exclusive use provision on behalf of a landlord or tenant.…
Finally by the time we got home I went straight to my mom and dads room and I noticed “I WAS MISSING A TOOTH” I screamed at the top of my lungs and my mom rushed to the room but eventually I stopped screaming and calmly laid down on the bed and fell asleep while watching the show Phineas and Ferb(I was only 6 so I should be aloud to watch the show alright).The next day when I woke up I smelled heaven and right away I knew what it was my grandmas pancakes!I rushed out of bed and ran as fast as I could to the dining room. I was just on time because the pancakes were about to be ready. After…
I remember the day clearer than any other. I was in 5th grade. My mom sat me down and told me my father would be living in another home. They called it “temporary.” “It will end” “It is not divorce”, they said. This, age nine, is when the constant packing, unpacking and swapping from house to house began. This lasted about a year until my Dad moved back in. We were whole, again. That was the happiest month I can really remember. Having two parents say goodnight to me, not having to repeat each story twice, and meals with someone at each head of the table. Everything was perfect. Until we decided to all go out to a family dinner. At this dinner my parents dropped one word.…
But then my girlfriend and I were sitting with our feet in the pool ankle deep. We were talking about our parent’s divorce. At the time it was just over a year that my parents got divorced so it was fresh like a cut. Hard to even think about, yet there I was talking about it. It started to rain lightly. So we moved to the steps outside the restaurant where we wouldn’t get hit by the rain. The restaurant was still open so I got the best coffee I have ever had. Slowly drinking it as if it was my…
I was so surprised one day it's warm the next it's snowing.I start looking in my suitcase if I had anything to keep me warm all I found was my pajamas so I put them on and went down the elevator all the way to floor one there was only 6 floors so I had to know my floor and room number and to grab a key card. Once I did all of that I went to the first floor and got some breakfast(It was sausage,pancakes,and some porcupine).Then I thought am I the only one up right now? So I finish eating and I go back to our room and saw that everyone was awake either because I forgot to grab the door from slamming or because they woke themselves up.Either way I was in trouble for going down stairs without…
