Today Rachel, Gabriel, Asher and I went on a confused ramble with the ultimate point of getting to an old graveyard. With every quarter mile or so we decided to change the direction we were taking. But we finally got there, after all. It wasn't even a cemetery, as you can see... Just a few graves scattered here and there, battered, old, unreadable, and probably forgotten by most people. They drifted from early 1800's to the 1900's. Gabriel immediately sobered down and observed, "It seems like we're being watched." Of course this was rather absurd, but we got that kind of feeling. I guess it was because we were on the top of a hill, surrounded by old barren trees, a bunch of dark clouds coming together, and the wind blowing ever so hard. But we did have fun after all, AND GUESS WHAT?! On the way home, it started raining really hard... And we weren't anywhere near the house at all. We got soaked, obviously. But that was really fun. :)
Gabriel meandering thoughtfully around with Asher "for protection against the ghosts" he said.
Okay okay... Gabriels the only one who really LOOKS like he's crying... Rachel and I don't really have a general idea of what we're trying to accomplish. :P
Explanation needed? Well... I was trying to fix my hair... Only place to hold my hat was... there. Gabriel thought maybe sitting on Asher would be fun. But he didn't end up doing it after all, despite of the picture.
"FINE RACHEL! BE THAT WAY!"

Just finishing telling Rachel what sort of place this really feels like.
"An obedient child,
A Sister dear
A faithful wife
Is slumbering here."
Happy Birthday Rachel!!!
(Because, you know, today IS her 14th birthday!)

Feliz Cumpleanos Rachel! All the best to you and yours.
That is a nice black & white picture of the two of you.
I should say, that merge didn't go all that well did it? I didn't hear too much from the CEO of Face Scrubbers....
Hasta Luego,
Ryan
Love the whole thing, Ruby! Graveyards are beautiful places to wander. It is amazing that you just found one. *Sniff* I wish I could ramble like that!
Love you,
Hannah
