Blogger of the Day: Alex V

"Warning! Short Note! Today at Neighbors' House a farmer came to teach us about corn. Guess what: Manure is poop. LOL. He talked about 'closed', 'crowded' and 'cultivated' plants, comparing [them] to [our relationship with] God. We got to learn about corn yesterday. It was the bomb. We played a little [multiplication game] of 'Alex V'. [For that game we did the multiplication tables of] six. Oops! I forgot farm boy's name was Mark. Sincerely, Alex. P.S.-He sang 'Old McDonald'. Just kidding."

Alex's True Facts

There are some unique personalities here for the Summer Refresher. You'll read more about them when our additions to Seedfolks get posted. But, here are some quotes (with his permission) from the legendary NH character, Alex:

"I don't really like sports, 'cause people always get broken legs."

"Don't ever smoke. Take on another addiction, like fruit."

"Whatever you do, don't shut down Dairy Queen."

"I don't like lettuce, but I like the Lattice Method.*"

"Say my name. It's magical."

Blooger of the Day: Victoria

"Today at Neighbors' House something funny happened. OK, this is what happened: Well, we were playing Fraction Bingo. And, after the two people won, the game was over. And those people got candy because they won the game. The candy was melted so th teacher put them in the freezer, and then, ten minutes later, the teacher said, 'Who wants their candy?' And, I said, 'I do!' She said, 'OK, I'll get it.' So, she went and got it and she was going to give it to me but she stopped and said, 'You didn't win!' And I said, 'I know!' And we laughed. And that's what happened today."-Victoria
