Summer Grocery Shopping

This is probably a strange topic to blog about, but none the less I have a very funny story that happened this morning. As I was leaving the house to go to Wildcat my mom gave me some money and asked me to go and buy some sausage at Pio's after my game. Since I was going to the library anyway I agreed. I got to my game, and about half way through my mom called Addison's dad to talk to me. She also wanted me to pick up a 1/4 pound of Fetta Cheese and 10 pieces of bacon. I rode to the store and entered a little bit before another family. Of course even after the family left everyone assumed that I was part of the family. So as a result it took about 5 min. for them to understand that I wanted some meat my self. I got the 10 pieces of bacon and ordered a pound of sausage. Then I decided that a pound was too much so I asked for just a 1/2 lb. They were VERY nice and changed it for me. Buying the 1/4 lb. of Fetta and some candy I quickly rode to the library. On the way I remembered that there is a pay phone in the lobby so I decided that I would use it and call my mom. For those of you that don't know this it is one of my life long dreams to use a pay phone. I returned the books and inserted a nickle into the slot. Before I go any farther in my defense they do NOT say how much money to insert. The nickle however didn't work. SO I inserted a quarter. No luck. I was, needless to say, EXTREMELY disappointed. I rode BACK to pio's and ordered another 1/2 pound of sausage. That is my shopping experience!!

REALLY good Book + Saddening Fact

I know that this is really random, but I just finished reading a book that I absolutely LOVED. The book was titled "Things We Couldn't Say" and it was a book about Holocaust. The book was written by a Christian girl who was about 20 at the time of Holocaust. Her and her boyfriend both hid Jews for the entire occupation of Netherlands. One of the facts that I learned from the book was that the Netherlands was liberated on April 20. That date is also Hitler's birthday. Nice birthday present!! The book is really good, because it describes Holocaust from a different angle than a book such as "Anne Frank" The really saddening fact is that 6 million Jews died. The back of the book had a facts sheet, and one of the facts was that 22 percent of Americans DO NOT believe that holocaust ever happened. For me this is probably one of the worst things that I have ever heard in my 11 years of living. We need to know what has happened so that we will NEVER repeat it. Around 11 million people died because of what Hitler did. People died and others from my time don't believe Holocaust happened. It happened and we need to remember that.
