While in michigan my queen called me over my secret lines of communication to tell me my next mission, she informed me that not only was I to go to Michigan to visit, but I needed to go on a vacation with special agent "Tiffy Banks" she would take me to new york where we would find out about the culture of the fast city.

Tiffy Banks

Lovey

Little Man Tyler A.K.A Big Pimp'm

Special agent "Lovey" and "little man" Tyler A.K.A Big Pimp'n were to be our guides they would show us how to be rough and tough in the big city and it was our mission to track down the mission impossible underwater explorer and to capture the green lady's picture that would lead us to her secret island. Tiffy banks just so happen to be my sister, in disguise. Tiffy ran her own jewelry company, which was really a front for their operation of secret agents in New York. One of those agents who came into her store quite regularly was Regis Philman. He was our inside guy, Tiffy sent him a message to see when she could talk to him, but being the busy guy he was he told us to wait in line for his show and he would let us know. So we waited in line at the Regis and Kelly show to get in to see him. It wasn't until we were four away from the door and sick and tired of hearing about the crazy Californian guy named teddy that we saw our guy entering the building. We didn't make it in before they closed the line but we had a chance to see his show and he talked about the underwater explorer who was down the street. So naturally we raced in that direction passing buildings to get to the underwater explorer. There we found of all people David Blane in a bubble and many reporters on the scene. They were interviewing him to find out what it was like and to look and see how bad his hands were getting, since he was under water for a week. We didn't see how this had to do with a mission impossible or green lady but we knew we were getting hungry. So lovey escorted us in her truck to her mother's house so we could get a bite to eat. It was more than a bite to eat of course cause her mother always cooked big meals. My sister and I had already tried the Cold Stone Ice Cream and had some Italian pizza and now we had to eat some more at least ten plates according to my sister, to be polite. We just didn't know how to do it. We asked her mother what she thought about the green lady and her thoughts about the hidden island. She told us that it was according to the legend of the times, the green lady might be a friend of Madame Tousands, this was a wax museum located down at the times square. So we thanked our hostess and took off to Times Square where we found many beautiful sights and a bunch of strange party bike riders, all pedaling to go down the street. It sure was a different culture and state entirely. We spotted Madame Tousands and went in, and looked at the statues but they were all too expensive to view. We stepped out on the street and low and behold a firetruck passed by and above it was the mission impossible sign with Tom Cruise on it, Why hadn't I thought of that earlier? I remembered that Tom Cruise was in town and he had stopped by to see Regis earlier, now we knew why we needed to see him. So we went to see Tom Cruise since he was not too far from us and actually staying right close to Regis. That is how the link for the mission impossible underwater explorer was connected but we were caught off guard with the green lady's hidden island. So we walked down the block to take a look at ground zero, Little Italy and China Town. While in China Town I bought a belt, and the china man at the stand looked at me and said beyond the waterfall lies a pond of rocks, only there will you find your message. Tiffany looked behind her and went to investigate there she found some rocks in the pond that had carved on them the empire state building. This must be our clue. So we walked the block to the Empire State building and entered inside to see what this might do with the green lady. My sister had an idea, she walked up to the information desk and showed them the picture of Tom Cruise and David Blane, and asked what that might have to do with the green lady. The lady gave us our tickets and told us to go to the 86th floor. We went up to the top past the stained glass memoirs of those from history, and looked out from the balcony. There was so much beauty we just walked around and took pictures of what we could see. It was than during our travels that we were starting to get hungry so we went to the famous Bubba Gump Shrimp factory to eat some good food. There the waitress brought us our shrimp and drinks and told us they were out of their special "Just Imagine", with a wink she walked away. It was than that I remembered a flyer for Central Park that said Just Imagine. Of course the memento in Central Park. We must go there and find out about it. So we walked through the huge and beautiful 3 block by 40 block park taking pictures till we found the imagine on the ground in the park, my sister sat down to take a phone call that was coming in on her phone and I examined the picture. It seemed as if there was an arrow pointing in the direction of the horse in the park. Lovey was calling us back because it was getting dark. So we decided to finish our trip tomorrow and get back to the Trump Towers to get picked up. In the morning we started out early ready to find out where we should go from the park we went to a restaurant named Lord and Taylor to eat, there they had the best yogurt I had ever tasted. No where else would it be that good. I remembered the horse and thought that maybe some how it might be a theme of the town, so we followed the horse trail to the front door of Gucci, where we went in to look at the expensive bags and 600 dollar shoes. I stopped to admire the bags and one in particular caught my eye. It had a picture of the green lady, duh... The Statue of Liberty, that's what we would have seen from the Empire State Building. Sure enough it was there in front of our eyes all along we just weren't thinking that it would be that simple. So we traveled across town to see the Statue of liberty and jumped on the ferry leaving the city behind. We saw the lady and went on to her Ellis Island where we went through the room of immigration, come to find out the queen just wanted to send us on a mission to have us look up her ancestors. Now why didn't she just say that? oh well I guess we wouldn't have had as much fun!

TRIP TO MICHIGAN

I recieved a message from my messenger who landed on my porch.. it was a message from my sister in michigan.. she was asking for me to come for a visit to see her and all of my friends to come for a family reunion. I hadn't been home in at least a year. so I packed my bags and headed out. On the flight out I thought back to the good times a few memories of my stay with the queen, and I remembered some events I had forgotten. There was the time I went to the Charlie Daniels concert with SFC Kimbley and we had the chance to hear The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and had a chance to watch the dualing fiddles. It was quite interesting, I remembered going on a detail and driving in the area where there were hardly any roads and the terrain was quite rough. There was so much to see but things were getting monotonous working for the queen. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to see another part of the world. 

It was a long three days to get home. I couldn't wait to get there. When I arrived my parents were there to pick me up and I was so excited to see my sister, allthough she was always taller than me she was still my little big sister. When I got home my sister told me that while I was gone they had found three baby bunnies whose mother had been hit by a car so they were feeding them and raising them up big enough to release. they were feeding them pet milk and grass, when they first caught them they were small enough to fit in a tea cup. Now they were a little bigger but only about 4 inches long. We watched them as the hyperactive thumpers bounced around and kicked and chomped down their food.

But the cats were also watching and waiting to pounce. So we had to put them in the other room and put a book over the metal part of the top of the cage so that they wouldn't get loose in the house. But maybe it wasn't the cat's that we should have been concerned about. Maybe I should have been concerned about Tiffany, Matt, and my cousin Sammi with her fries up her nose trick. Definitely Sammi, cause she had the guts to do something so nasty. 

Anyway I went to visit my best friend Miranda and got to see her two little girls Alley and Kaitlyn who were getting so big now. I spent some time just catching up and watching the kids.. she took me to see her husbands work place because she wanted to show his boss her littlest. Alley ran around with a pin from the store pretending that she was the one working there.. she twirled around till she fell over tired of spinning.

So later on we went out to eat at Logans. Miranda, Holly, Jordan, Tiffany and I. The food was great.. we talked about all the new changes and people getting married and having kids and that it was almost time for my highschool reunion again. 

By the weekend it was time to go to plow day to see my grandpa judge the horses plow and have a potluck. this was to be the last plow day for this place after many years

These horses were judged by how well they worked together, if they could do it for a long period of time with the proper pace, and even how well they were matched. They also had an obstacle course with a water tank overflowing that the horses had to step over as a challenge.
