Two Old Women: Book Review

One day, I was browsing the bookshelves of my local library looking for something interesting to read. There’s one particular shelf in an adult section of the library that I like to browse all the time, and it’s one that has books of myth, folklore, and fairytales . I eventually found a book that I had never heard of or read before; Two Old Women . Two Old Women is a book written by Velma Wallis .

Church Autumn Festival

Here is a video of a couple of things we did at the church autumn festival yesterday. 

Before the other things we did that are shown in the video, the pastor of the church asked everyone to gather around and when we did, some people and a few kids threw yellow balls with a Bible verse on it into the air for people to catch and to keep. The pastor then explained that Jesus came to save us from our sins and prayed.

Then we participated in the cake and crafts auction the church was having. There was one cake that my mom wanted to get and it was a key lime cake with pecans sprinkled on top. She bid on it and won it.

Once we got home, my mom, my sister, and I each got a slice of the cake and it was very delicious.  

I found our day at the festival enjoyable and I hope to go on more adventures soon.
