a heart with a twist of lemon

my sister made me the coolest little dinosaur. it is a stegasaurus, and she made him out of clay. he is green and has purple spikes down his back with yellow spikes on his tail. he has three yellow spots on both sides of him, and cute little beady eyes. i decided spike would be a good name for him. he sort of looks like spike on land before time.

and speaking of my sister, today is her birthday, she is a fourth of july baby. so happy birthday sister! and happy birthday brother! whose birthday was july 2nd. quite a milestone year for the mackereth children as i became 21, my sister 18 and my brother 13.

i tried to take a picture of spike, but my digital camera does not focus well on smaller things. so spike can't be photographed just like he can't fly (according to ducky).

Ducky: "Petrie, do not feel sad. It is alright. Many things cannot fly. Rocks, trees, sticks, Spike..."
