Hello!
I am out of town right now. I am actually in Ireland, which is really cool because I’ve never been on an international flight before and I’ve always wanted to come here. So far I have been to six bookstores and seen twelve cats ^_^ , which means that it is a successful trip. The bookstores are cool because they have all kinds of British/Irish middle-grade books that you don’t really see in the U.S. We got to hear a lot of live Celtic fiddling music, which has been fun. I might want to write a story about a selkie when we get back, because they’re one of my favorite mythical creatures and they’re from Ireland.

Dear Cricket,
My family used to have a very sweet husky mix named Poly, because she had an extra toe on one foot. She was very social, but she hated other dogs. She got put down a year ago, and we still miss her, though we’re hoping to get a puppy and two outdoor cats sometime soon.
