<b><br /></b>
<b>This is Julie's doll mom, Sharry. As you've probably guessed, Julie's posts have been few and far between lately. I'm not sure if any of you non-bloggers know this, but keeping up a doll blog is a LOT of work. Between dressing the dolls, making sets, finding and setting up accessories, it's all consuming. A lot of other things were beginning to suffer like household chores. I've been doing this for the past 5 years, and I think it's time the gang and I took a little break. I'm not quitting completely, and I will let you all know when I come back; but when I do, the posts will probably be about once a month. I appreciate your understanding and continued support during this time. </b><br />

<br />
Yeah, OK, I know it's New Year's Eve; but I've been having so much fun playing with all my new toys, and seeing what all my other friends got for Christmas, that I almost forgot about my time capsule diary (sorry!). Anyway, on Christmas morning, after I dug into my stocking, I woke up my mom and ran into the living room.<br />

Speaking of records, I forgot to tell you.....my mom gave me a K-tel Looney Tunes record for my "Waiting for Santa" gift last night. But it's not like the cartoons. In case you don't know, K-tel is a company that puts out groovy (what's that word, Mom? Y'know for a bunch of songs all together?) Oh yeah...groovy compilations of hit songs. But this is a collection of really goofy songs. I've been seeing the commercial on TV for this record for weeks! I played some of it last night and it's really funny!<br />
<br />
It was a really super Christmas! I've been having so much fun playing "Mommy" with all of Lucy's new accessories, and dancing to my new records in my movie star glasses. I'm sorry to say though that my mom came down with a really bad cold, so I won't be able to have my friends over for New Year's Eve this year. So my mom and I decided to eat junk food and watch the Twilight Zone marathon tonight and all day tomorrow. <br />
<br />
I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and a super groovy New Year!<br />

<br />
It's almost Christmas! I love this time of year because there's always so much to do; shopping, going to see Santa, our Christmas concert at school, going on our class trip to see The Nutcracker...whew! And this year, the Community Center decided to throw a Christmas party! Outta site! And you know what else is really groovy? Our favorite band "Loud And Proud" was asked to play at the party! And they're getting <u>paid!</u> Isn't that super? Danny, Sunny and Kim have been practicing for weeks after school and on the weekends. I know they're gonna be dynamite!<br />
<br />
When we got to the Community Center gym, the table was all laid out with goodies!<br />

I'm getting ready to help my mom make egg nog French toast so we can eat while we watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! YAY!<br />

But yesterday, I was sitting in my room, reading one of my diaries I keep for this time capsule, and thinking about some other groovy Thanksgiving holidays I've celebrated.<br />

Like I remember right after I had the idea to start this time capsule, we had a special Thanksgiving assembly at school. Our class drew giant pictures about what we were thankful for, and on the other side were the letters that spelled THANKS. I was thankful for such an outta site teacher like Miss LaSalle.<br />

Oh! And I remember the year that our school had that big "What I'm Thankful For" contest. We all wrote compositions, and the best 2 were gonna be published in the newspaper. Kim and I had gotten together to work on our papers, but we didn't win. Crissy and April won and there was a big assembly at school.<br />

I guess what it all comes down to is that I really have a lot of things to be thankful for; all my friends, my school, my mom, even my goofy dog! I'm also thankful that I live in a nice house, I get enough to eat every day, and have nice clothes to wear. I know there are so many people who don't have any of those things. I wish that one day, everyone all over the world would have all the good things I do, and never know what it's like to be hungry or sick or homeless on Thanksgiving.<br />

<br />
I hope you all had a super Halloween! I know I did, but at first I wasn't sure it was gonna be fun. The first part was OK. We had a party at school, with a special assembly of one of the dads telling these creepy ghost stories! *shudder* It was pretty scary! Later on we went Trick-or-treating, and I let Kim talk me into going to see a spooky movie with some of our friends.<br />

I really wasn't sure that I wanted to go. Spooky movies aren't my scene, but then again, it might be fun. So we stopped off at my house to get permission and some money. Kim told me that anyone who brought in their candy bucket could get a free drink! Outta site!<br />

A couple of them waved at us as we were crossing the street to come over.<br />

The boys were talking about how they couldn't wait to see this movie. I took a peek at the poster.<br />

<br />
A vampire and a monster? Terrific! *rolling my eyes* I was beginning to think that this wasn't such a great idea.<br />
<br />
We bought out tickets and went in. Some of us got free drinks, and some of us didn't want to have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie.<br />

So this is pretty much how the movie went. There was this girl named Lena whose car broke down on a little road that was just past a big freeway. She walked to this great big house on a hill. A man came out to help her. It was so dark that she couldn't see that this man was really a vampire!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As the vampire walked with Lena back up to the house, he used to power of his mind to call a monster from a nearby graveyard.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
By the time Lena and the vampire got up to the house, the monster was already inside. The vampire wanted to bite her neck, and when she turned into a zombie, give her to the monster as his bride. But there's one thing they didn't plan on...<br />
<br />

<br />
Lena knew Karate! She beat up the vampire so bad that the monster ran back to the graveyard and buried himself in the ground, never to come out again. As soon as Lena started karate chopping and kicking, all the girls started cheering, and all the boys started boo-ing! HA-HA! It also made me feel kinda dumb for being scared of this movie in the first place. I mean, here was this girl and she took on 2 monsters, all by herself! Right on! She wouldn't have been afraid of watching a movie like this. She found a phone and called a tow truck to take her and her car home. Yay Lena!<br />
<br />
I actually really liked that movie, especially the end! It was a pretty dynamite Halloween. I hope yours was just as fun for you!<br />

<br />
Halloween will soon be here, and you know what that means......pumpkin carving, groovy decorations, far out stuff happening at school, and of course shopping for a new costume. I was on my way to Woolworth's when I bumped into Marc and Jason.<br />

"Hey what are you 2 guys up to?" I asked.<br />
"Oh I need a Halloween costume", Marc said. "Jason said we should check out Woolworth to see what we can find.."<br />

I looked over at Marc who looked a little lost. I knew this was gonna be his first Halloween here in Springfield, and he wanted just the right costume. I walked over to him to see if I could help.<br />

"So what kind of costume are you looking for, Marc?" I asked.<br />
"Do you wanna be something from TV?" Jason asked. "My dad bought me a Planet Of The Apes costume last week."<br />
"Nah, I don't wanna be nothing from TV, except maybe a monster movie." Marc answered.<br />
I looked around a spotted the perfect costume!<br />

"Wow, that's great! I hope you make it, Michael", Cheryl said.<br />
"We're gonna finish our walk, but we'll catch you guys later today, OK?"<br />
"Promise you'll come over later, Julie?", Michael asked me.<br />

Danny pitched the ball to Michael, right as we were walking off.<br />

"OOPS! I missed it!", Michael said. The ball rolled in our direction and stopped right in front of Butterscotch.<br />

<br />
<br />
All of a sudden, Butterscotch picked up the ball and took off running! She jerked the leash right out of Cheryl's hand!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
"Butterscotch, STOP!", hollered Cheryl. "Come back here you crazy dog!"<br />
Man, we can't get this mutt to play fetch, but she'll take off running with other people's balls!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So now all 4 of us are chasing Cheryl's dog all over the park!<br />
"Let's surround her", Danny called. "At least one of us will be able to get her!"<br />
<br />
<br />

Wow, poor Cheryl. I know she's been trying to train Butterscotch on her own, but not all dogs are the same. Some dogs are really easy to train, and others are harder. Even though my dog Boomer drives me crazy sometimes, most of the time, he obeys me. But there are times he does things he shouldn't do, but you know what? I wouldn't trade him for anything.<br />

<br />
This past Monday was my first day of school. I'm in Miss LaSalle's class! We had lots of review lessons today---Spelling, Math, Reading..etc. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Last year, I forgot a lot of Math, but this year, I did better. Listening to my Multiplication Rock record this summer helped a lot. Would you believe we actually got homework on the first day of school? Miss LaSalle wants us to write a composition about our families. I guess mine will be pretty short, since it's just me and my mom. I guess I'll have to write about my auntie, uncle and cousins too. We have a book report due on Friday (ugh!) I signed up for Baton Club again this year. I wonder who else signed up or wants to try out to be in it? At lunchtime, some of us talked about going to Sam's to celebrate the first day of school. So me and some of the other kids in my class walked over to buy a soda at Sam's.<br />

We all laughed about that. I guess it's harder for some of us to get back into the school year groove than others. But I was glad to see Miss LaSalle again. I really missed her over the summer. Henry our class hamster did too!<br />

We all knew we had to leave pretty soon, or our parents would call the F.B.I out on us. After all it was a school day. Robyn asked Marc for a dance before we left. She chose "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder, and she and Marc really got down!<br />

Well, that's pretty much it, future readers, I have a lot of homework to do, so I guess I better go now. I love that us kids have a place to hang out like Sam's when we just wanna go off by ourselves for awhile. Our parents are usually pretty cool about letting us hang out a little and not coming straight home from school. Sometimes it's Sam's, sometimes it's the candy store or the playground, or each other's houses. But my mom says I gotta be home by 4:30. Do kids in the future still hang out after school? Or do you just talk to each other over your T.V. phones?<br />

<br />
I'm writing this entry from home because we took the bus back to Springfield this morning We really had a groovy time on our last day of camp. I came into the Rec Hall yesterday, and a few of the girls were already there decorating for our big dance. It looked kinda empty, 'cos Doug, (the boys' counselor) had come that morning to help Kerry move the furniture into the storage shed. I wanted to help, so I asked Kerry what I could do.<br />

Just as I was asking Kerry how I could help, Bridget came running up all excited 'cos she found these cool tie-dye steamers in the craft cabin and asked Kerry if we could use them to decorate.<br />

Well, pretty soon it was time for the dance to begin. The guys came over from Camp Wilderness and we just had ourselves a good time dancing to the music, and eating the yummy snacks (including our cookies.!), and enjoying the last day of camp! Even Mia and Velvet were there! Check it out!<br />

I hope you all enjoyed reading about both the girls and boys camps These past 2 weeks have sure been a groove! Today we all said good-bye to Camp Echo Hill and Camp Wilderness for another year. But at least I don't have to say good-bye to my friends. We'll all be back in Springfield, just in time for school to start next week. So I guess you'll hear from me then!<br />

<b>We had a really good time tossing the pigskin around. When we play football at home in Springfield, usually some of the girls wanna play, which wouldn't be so bad if they actually knew how to play. When we offer to teach them, they say something like, "We changed our minds. We don't wanna play that old boys game. C'mon, let's go play dolls". Girls! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Anyway, I gotta get back to the game future folks! This is our last entry about our camp. We hope you all liked seeing the way us guys do things. But you'll see us soon.....at the dance!</b><br />

<b>We started rapping about the dance and stuff when Doug walks up and says, "All right men, let's hit the water!"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Something you gotta know about Doug.....he's on the high school swim team. He told us we had to earn our free time in the lake. He made us swim out past the platform to the deep part of the lake. Then he told us we had to swim laps for 5 minutes! Can you believe that? So that's what we did; up and back to both markers for 5 minutes straight! Dang! We were almost too tired to swim after that!</b><br />

<br />
Some of us thought it would be cool to make some food for our dance that's coming up So me, Shante', Melody and Raychel asked Kerry, and our camp cook, Mrs. Bishop, if we could use the kitchen to bake cookies! So we all got out the ingredients and got busy mixing them together.<br />

Melody kneaded the dough. I love cookie dough! I wanted to eat some, but I wanted the cookies even more, so I didn't take any.<br />

When all the cookies were laid out on the cookie sheets, Mrs. Bishop put them in the oven. (Camp rules, campers aren't allowed to touch the stove or the oven). We cleaned up while we waited 20 minutes for the cookies to be done. Pretty soon the whole dining hall smelled like home baked cookies! At last they were ready! Outta site! It's Cookie Time!<br />

Mrs. Bishop said we could each have one cookie, and that she'd save the rest for the dance. And were they ever good! YUMMY!<br />

I think it's super groovy to bake things in the kitchen, whether it's with my Easy Bake Oven at home, or during the holidays with my mom, or with my good friends here at camp. If people bake in the future, I hope you have as much fun as we did making cookies for our camp dance!<br />

<br />
Today the younger campers come to hang out with us older girls. Kerry's little sister Velvet and her friend Mia are in the Ladybugs this year, and Kerry says that 2 of us (me and Jennifer) are supposed to help the little kids with horseback riding. Kerry went to go pick up Cherokee while we waited on the trail with Mia and Velvet.<br />

"Oooh! I'm so excited Julie!", Velvet said, practically jumping up and down. "I can't wait to meet...what's the horse's name again?"<br />
"His name is Cherokee", I told her.<br />
"Oh yeah."<br />

"I hope he's friendly", Mia said "I don't want him to be like those horses you see on the rodeos on T.V. where they make the cowboys fall down."<br />
"No, he's nothing like that", Jennifer told her. "Cherokee's a big old friendly horse that loves children."<br />
"Oh good!", Mia smiled.<br />

"Hi girls! Here's Cherokee. I think he really wanted to come and see us. When I picked him up from the farm, he whinnied and nuzzled my hand. I think he knew he was coming to our camp today." She knelt down next to Mia and Velvet.<br />
"Now you 2 remember, this is a living creature, not a toy You have to be really gentle and sweet to him. No kicking, or whipping his reins or shouting at him We have to show Cherokee lots of love if we want to ride him. Do you understand?"<br />
"I understand", said Mia.<br />
"Can we ride him now?" asked Velvet.<br />
"Not quite yet", Kerry answered. "Before anyone rides him, we have to pet him and talk nicely to him so he'll know we're his friends, OK?"<br />
So all of us gathered around Cherokee and stroked him and talked sweetly to him.<br />
<br />

"Hi Cherokee!" Velvet said<br />
"Good boy, we missed you, Cherokee." Jennifer told him.<br />
"Hi Cherokee. You gonna be good so we can ride you, huh?" said Mia<br />
"It's good to see you again, fella", I said as I hugged him.<br />

"OK girls' it's time to ride", Kerry said. "Velvet, you're first." She picked Velvet up and put her in the saddle. She was so little her feet couldn't even reach the stirrups.<br />
"Julie, I want you to take the reins and walk Cherokee to the end of the trail and back here. Remember take it nice and easy. Cherokee's old and we don't want him to tire out too quickly."<br />
"OK Kerry". I made the kissy noise (y'know, like you're calling your dog) and said "Come on Cherokee."<br />
<br />

<br />
I walked him down the trail nice and easy.<br />
"This is fun", Velvet said. "But can we go faster?"<br />
"No Velvet, you heard what your sister said. He's not a race horse. If he gets too tired, Mia won't get a turn, and that wouldn't be fair."<br />
"Poor old Cherokee", Velvet said as she patted him. "We love you even if you can't go fast."<br />
I got back to where Kerry was waiting with Mia. Mia's a spunky little kid and sometimes gets too excited. As we walked up, I could hear Kerry tell her. "Now remember what I told you? Be gentle, Mia."<br />
"I will, I promise", said Mia. Kerry lifted Velvet off and put Mia on.<br />
"Jennifer, please do the same thing as Julie. A nice easy pace to the end of the trail and back here."<br />
"Okie dokie", Jennifer said.<br />
So Jennifer walked Mia and Cherokee to the end and back again.<br />

Then it was time to say good-bye. Kerry had to take Cherokee over to the boys' camp for their riding lesson. Rats! I know it's silly, but I wish Cherokee was my horse and I could spend all the time I wanted with him. I only get to see him once a year, and I think about him sometimes. We all took turns saying good-bye.<br />
<br />
"Good-bye, Cherokee. Thanks for letting me ride you", Velvet said first.<br />

<br />
Today some of us went to the lake for a swim. Even though Bridget got a super new swimsuit for camp, she was afraid to use it, 'cos she didn't know how to swim. Kim and I had to talk her into coming with us.<br />

"Come on Bridget, please come with us. I promise I won't let you drown", I said to her.<br />
"I dunno Julie", she said looking behind her off the end of the dock, "That water looks awfully deep."<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
"It's not that deep by the platform", I told her. "Learning to swim isn't so tough. I could teach you."<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
"Besides how much fun is it sitting on the sand watching everyone else has fun in the water?", Kim said. "You don't wanna be left out every time all of us go swimming. You'll have lots more fun if you could join us. Please Bridget?"<br />
"Oh, OK....but I still don't know about this."<br />
<br />
So we all walked down to the lake together. Bridget was really scared. Kim and I held her hands as we went into the water. It only comes about up to your chest near the platform, and the gets deeper as you go further out. So we walked all the way to the platform and helped Bridget climb up on it and sit down. Wendy, April and Robyn were already there splashing around and having a ball.<br />
"Watch me dive off into the water, Bridget", Kim said, and she jumped in.<br />
<br />

"I can't do that, Julie!", Bridget whispered to me.<br />

<br />
"Come on in, Bridget. You can hold onto the platform and we can practice kicking out feet."<br />
She whined a little, but Bridget slid off the end of the platform, held onto the side and I showed her how to kick her feet.<br />
<br />

<br />
"See that's not so bad", I told her. "Now let's practice kicking on our backs. I'll hold you up."<br />
"Are you sure about this?"<br />
"The water is only chest deep, remember? If I lose my grip on you, just stand up."<br />
"OK."<br />

<br />
"OK, back on our tummies again, only this time, hold onto my hands instead of the platform."<br />
"But I'll go under!"<br />
"No you won't. Just pretend I'm the platform and kick your feet like you did before."<br />
I held onto Bridget's hands as she kicked her legs (really hard!), and the slowly I let go.<br />

<br />
Her head went under for a minute. I held her hands again.<br />
"Don't let go!" she screamed.<br />
"I have to let go or you won't learn. This time when I let go paddle your arms. You can do it."<br />
"No I can't!"<br />
"Yes you can Bridget. I'm letting go now. Paddle!"<br />
She went under again, and then came up paddling!<br />
"I'm doing it!"<br />
"YAY! Go Bridget!"<br />

She swam around the platform a couple of times. I couldn't believe she learned so fast! She didn't even need a kickboard! I climbed back up on the platform. to watch her swim. Then April said, "Hey look at Bridget! She's floating on her back!"<br />

Wow! She really was! Somehow she got turned over and was floating on her back!<br />
"How does it feel, Bridget?" I called out.<br />

"Hey guys, let's go up to the Dining Hall for some bug juice and gorp!"<br />
"YAAAAAAY!"<br />
<br />
Do kids still play sports like volleyball in the future? Do you have robots play for you like on "The Lost Saucer"? (that's a Saturday morning TV show) Or maybe you play by computer? Well, I hope you guys still play real sports, 'cos it's so much fun!<br />
<br />
Until tomorrow, future readers,<br />

Long bus rides can be pretty boring, so we kept ourselves busy rapping, singing camp songs, reading magazines, and I think Raychel told me she took a nap on the way here, (though I don't know how anybody could sleep bumping along that mountain road). Anyway, our bus arrived first, and there was Kerry there to greet us! Yay! Camp was officially about to start!<br />

Lunch was really yummy...hamburgers, corn on the cob and good ole bug juice (cherry flavored). Kerry made the usual announcements about bathroom buddies, not going to the lake alone, cleaning up after ourselves and listening to counselors.<br />

We noticed as she was making the announcements that there wasn't a sign-up for anything this year. Last year we had the play, and the year before the Talent Show and Inter Camp Olympics....strange. Hmmm...I wondered if we'd be going on another backpacking trip.<br />

Kerry told us after we finished eating we could check the list for the cabin assignments and go get unpacked. Of course everyone rushed up at once. I hate being pushed around, so I was glad some of us decided to wait.<br />

"Hey Julie! We're in the same cabin this year!", Jennifer told me. "Isn't that groovy?"<br />
"Yeah! Hey Stephanie! You're a Red Robin too!" I said. "C'mon, let's get our gear and walk up together. Sunny can meet us up there."<br />
<br />
So we got our bags and walked to our cabin I was glad to be in the Red Robins again, mostly because that cabin is closest to the bathroom. Last year I was in the Purple Peacocks, the newest cabin, and the one farthest away from the bathroom. A couple of times I couldn't hold it, and I went to the bathroom in the Dining Hall. *groan* Sunny caught up with us and we got busy unpacking.<br />

We walked to the Rec Hall. When we walked in, we could see some of the girls were already there, playing board games, and ping-pong and just rapping in the Cozy Corner.<br />

"Thanks, I am too. Say Steph, isn't it weird we don't have a special activity this year?"<br />
"Yeah it is......I wonder what happened?"<br />
"I dunno..."<br />
You know how some ideas just pop into your head? Well, listening to my tapes gave me a great idea!<br />
"Stephanie, what if we asked Kerry if we could have a dance?"<br />
"A dance? You mean like at school?"<br />
"Sure why not? This Rec Hall is about the same size at the gym at school. And we can have a special activity this year!<br />
"Super idea, Julie! Do you think we should invite the Camp Wilderness guys?"<br />
"Well, I suppose we should. It would be kinda unfair not to."<br />
"I guess so. Let's tell Kerry your idea."<br />

Kerry thought it was a terrific idea! But she said she'd have to check with Doug if the boys could come, and the campers would have to decorate the Rec Hall. Far out! Kerry raised her hand for quiet so she could tell the other girls.<br />

So this year, I thought I'd try something different. For the first week of camp, it'll be all about us girls...doing some of the fun things that makes Camp Echo Hill so groovy. But for the second week, the boys will be telling you about some of the things that makes Camp Wilderness fun for them. I wonder which tapes I should bring with me?<br />

Anyway, Danny, Jason, Kyle and Marc will take turns giving you the scoop about their activities and just showing you around the boys camp. They think it's unfair that future readers will only get to see what girls do at camp. I had to remind them that this is a <u>girl's</u> time capsule! Boys! Do they ever owe me BIG! *snicker*<br />

Well, I think that's everything, but I'm sure my mom will give it the once over. Am I glad the camp has it's own bedding now, so I don't have to lug around my sleeping bag! That thing gets heavy after awhile! I'm gonna spend some time with me pouty little puppy here. He just hates it when I have to go away. So in my next entry, I'll be on my way to camp! Stay tuned!<br />

We stashed our stuff in the closet, so we could sit down and dig into the pizza the girl's mom had ordered! Yummy!<br />

Mrs. Miller stuck her head in the door and told us it was time to settle down a little. I guess we were making too much noise with all of our dancing and stomping around. So we all put on our jammies and laid out our sleeping bags.<br />

Pretty soon, Kim started yawning, and that got the rest of us yawning. It was getting kinda late, so we all went to the bathroom and took turns brushing our teeth. We cleaned up the games and magazines and the food, and hit the sack.<br />

<br />
Well this is it. I'm flying back to Springfield today. While I'm really happy I'm gonna get to see my mom, Boomer and all my friends again, I'm always sad to leave Vivienne, her parents, and the friends I have here in Falling Waters. I always have such a good time here. I'm not sure when Vivienne will come to see me, but I think it will be soon. The first thing I do when I get out of bed is pack up my duffel bag.<br /><br />

Then I got dressed and went downstairs to breakfast. Vivienne's already in the kitchen helping her mom. I think it makes her too sad to watch me pack. Vivienne sets the table in the breakfast nook and Mrs. Walton brings us bacon and eggs. Man does it smell good!<br />

We were almost finished eating when the doorbell rang. Vivienne's mom answered it, and it was Kevin and C.J., and their dog, Barkley.<br />

"Hi guys", said Vivienne.<br />
"Hey guys, what's up?", I asked/<br />
"Hi Vivienne, hi Julie", Kevin began. "We just wanted to come over and said good-bye."<br />
"And have a good trip back to Springfield", C.J. added. "Barkley will miss you too.<br />
"Aww, that's was nice of you guys", I told them, as I pet Barkley.<br />

He pulled a red ribber snake from behind his back. For a second, I was kinda shocked, so I jumped back a little. Kevin was doubled over from laughing so hard and C.J. snickered..<br />

"Don't let her get me, Kevin", C.J. begged<br />

"It wasn't me! C.J. brought the snake. But you should have seen the look on your face!" He started laughing again.<br />
"I'm sorry Julie", C.J. said quietly. "Kevin's always talking about the jokes he plays on you, and how funny it is, and well, I just thought this would be a great way to say good-bye. Like something you'd remember, y'know? I didn't think you'd get so mad. Don't beat me up, please?"<br />
"Well", I said slowly. "I guess this will be something I'll remember. OK C.J. I forgive you. But now you have to pinkie promise that you won't play any more dumb jokes on me, either, OK?"<br />
C.J. held out his pinkie and we linked. "OK, I promise", he said.<br />
Just then, the doorbell rang again, and Vivienne went to go answer it. This time it was Evelyn, Marcie, Lydia and Mika.<br />

"Hi Julie", they all said.<br />
"Hi everyone."<br />
"We know we didn't get to spend much time with you, but we wanted to stop by and wish you a Bon Voyage'."<br />
"That's for ocean trips, silly", Marcie told her.<br />
"Oh that doesn't matter", Lydia cut in. "We just wanted you to know that we'll miss you."<br />
"And we hope you'll come back soon", Mika said.<br />
"Thanks you guys. I'm sure my mom and Mrs. Walton will let me come back soon. And then we can spend lotsa time together."<br />
Mr. Walton brought my duffel bag down from Vivienne's room.<br />
"OK Julie, it's time to leave now."<br />
"Good-bye everyone! I'll miss you all!"<br />
They all gathered around me and took turns hugging me. The guys gave me playful punches on the arm. "Good-bye Julie! Come back soon! We'll miss you too", they all took turns saying.<br />

We clicked our friendship bracelets together. "Forever and ever", Vivienne said. She gave me a big hug. "Have a safe trip, Julie. Write to me soon."<br />

"Bye Julie".<br />

I got in the car and we drove away. I could see her waving until we turned the corner. It's been a really groovy trip, future readers. My next entry will be from good ole' Springfield!<br />

<br />
This morning right after breakfast, Vivienne's mom called us into her sewing room and said she had a surprise for us. When we saw what was in there, we stopped dead in our tracks.<br />

New dresses! Three new dresses. Mrs. Walton explained that tonight after dinner we were going to the park for an outdoor concert, and Betta was coming with us! Far out!<br />

Vivienne and I were so excited we jumped up and down and hugged each other.<br />

"Well what are you girls waiting for?", Mrs. Walton smiled. "Try them on and see how pretty you'll look." She left us to try them on.<br />
<br />
Outta site! The one with the blue rick-rack was mine, the one with the yellow rick-rack was Vivienne's, and the one with the red rick-rack was Betta's.<br />

"Oh girls, you both look lovely!" Mrs. Walton told us. "You'll be the prettiest girls at the concert."<br />
'We have GOT to call Betta!", Vivienne squealed. "She'll flip!"<br />
When Betta rang the doorbell, we answered it together.<br />
"Hi girls", Betta said. "Those are dynamite dresses. Where are you going?"<br />
"Close your eyes and come with us", Vivienne told Betta.<br />
Betta looked confused. "What?":<br />
"Just close your eyes and come with us", I repeated.<br />
"Why?", Betta wanted to know.<br />
"Don't ask questions, just do what we say!", Vivienne said.<br />
"Oh, OK". As soon as Betta closed her eyes we each took one of her hands and practically dragged her into the sewing room. We stood her in front of the dressmaker dummy and told her to open her eyes. Her jaw nearly hit the floor!<br />
<br />

"It's beautiful", Betta said. "But what's this all about?"<br />
"We're going to the band concert in the park tonight", Vivienne said to Betta. "And you're coming too! My mom said so."<br />
"This is the grooviest day ever!", Betta almost yelled.<br />
Mrs. Walton took a snapshot off all 3 of us in our new dresses.<br />
<br />

"OK girls...let's get out of those dresses so they will be fresh for tonight. We'll pick you up after supper, Betta."<br />
"Thanks so much, Mrs. Walton", Betta said to Vivienne's mom. "I'll see you guys later." She took her dress and went home.<br />
We changed out of our dresses and helped Mrs. Walton clean up the house. Then we had to take naps, because we were gonna be up really late.<br />
"Nine-year-olds don't take naps, Mom", "Vivienne tried to tell her mother.<br />
"They do if they want to go to that concert tonight", her mom told her.<br />
We were both too excited to nap. We kept giggling and talking, but after awhile we fell asleep for a couple of hours. By the time we woke up, it was almost time for dinner. Mr. Walton came home from work, and we sat down to eat.<br />

It was all so yummy! The only person that cooks better than Mrs. Walton is my mom! After we ate, Vivienne's sent us upstairs to take baths before the concert. She got out a brand new box of Mr. Bubble. Yay! I love bubble baths!<br />

After we bathed and dressed we picked up Betta and drove to the park. It was a pretty warm night and we didn't even need jackets. That was good 'cos we wanted everyone to see our groovy dresses. The park was already getting pretty crowded.<br />

We had to walk way in the back by the benches. We finally found one that was empty and sat down.<br />

We couldn't see very well, but we could sure hear the music! The concert was a Motown revival! Dynamite! It was kinda tight with all 3 of us sitting on that bench and I was starting to feel like a sardine! Vivienne's mom brought along an extra blanket, in case any of us got cold, so I pulled it out of her tote bag and sat on it.<br />

The music was outta site! They played The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder and The Supremes! Since we were wearing matching dresses, when they played "Stop! In the Name of Love" we got up and started to dance and sing like the Supremes! Vivienne's parents were cracking up!<br />

When it was time for Intermission, Vivienne's dad gave us each 50 cents for the snack stand. Vivienne's friend Lydia who went to Camp Falling Waters with us last year was running it!<br />

"Hi Lydia!", we all said.<br />
"Hi girls. Hey Julie! It's great to see you again! I heard you were here for a visit. How have you been?"<br />
"Like the song says, I've been "Feelin' Alright". It's really cool you get to run this stand all by yourself."<br />
"Well this is part of fund raising for our church", Lydia began. "We're raising money to send our youth group to the Philippines later this summer."<br />
"Yeah, we heard about that in Sunday school", Betta said. "We're happy to help."<br />
Just then, 2 more girls, Marcie and Evelyn from Camp Falling Waters and another girl I didn't know walked up.<br />

"Oh this is Mika. She moved here a couple of months ago.", Evelyn explained.<br />
"Oh yeah. Vivienne wrote to me about you. It's nice to meet you, Mika."<br />
"It's nice to meet you too, Julie", she said in a really quiet voice. "Vivienne talks about you a lot. It must be nice to have a pen pal."<br />
"It's really super", I answered. "We started writing to other kids through our school. Maybe that's something that you can try some time."<br />
"That's a good idea", Mika said.<br />

When the intermission was over, we all said "See ya around" and went back to our bench for the rest of the concert. It was really far out. Right before the concert was over, Lydia, Marcie, Evelyn and Mika found us and listened to the last song, "Going To A Go-Go" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Vivienne's mom took a group shot of all of us.<br />

Well, the concert was over and it was getting late. I hugged all the girls, including Mika) good-bye, 'cos I'm leaving tomorrow, and I wouldn't see them again. But I promised we would hang out on my next visit. When we got back to Vivienne's house, we got ready for bed. We were kinda punchy and weren't ready to sleep, so we played with Vivienne's Magic 8 Ball for a while. In case you don't know what that is, it's kinda like a fortune telling toy. You ask it questions, shake the ball and it gives you answers. (But of course we know, it's just a toy.).<br />

"Does Kevin Fleagle like Julie in a lovey-dovey way?"<br />
"Vivienne! You promised not to tease me!"<br />
"I'm not teasing, I'm just asking a question." She shook the 8 Ball and it said:<br />

"Oh that doesn't mean anything", I told Vivienne. "You know this thing is just a dumb little toy."<br />
"I know that. But wouldn't it be funny if it were true?<br />
"No, it wouldn't", I said.<br />
"C'mon Julie, you're not mad are you?"<br />
I yawned. "No I'm not mad, but I am tired. Let's go to sleep, OK?"<br />
"OK. I'm glad you came to visit me, Julie. I'm really gonna miss you."<br />
"I'm glad I came too, Vivienne."<br />
"Friends forever?" Vivienne asked.<br />
"Forever and ever", I answered.<br />
"Good-night Julie."<br />
"Good-night Vivienne."<br />

<br />
So today, Vivienne and I were cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast (pancakes, YUM!), when Kevin calls. He told Vivienne that him and C.J. wanted us to check out their room and see all the neat stuff the guys from Springfield sent them, (Danny, Jason, Kyle and Marc are pen pals with Kevin and C.J.) and could we come over in half an hour? Sure, why not? So Vivienne let me ride her new bike and she rode her scooter over to their house. We agreed to switch on the way back<br />

<br />
"So why do you think the boys wanna show us their room?", I wondered.<br />
"Probably to brag", Vivienne began. "I think Kevin's a little jealous since you're always coming to see me and Danny and the guys can't come to visit. Betta says Kevin and C.J. are always getting packages from your friends, so they probably just wanna show off. You know how boys are."<br />
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, everything always has to be a competition. Boys!"<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
"My mom also thinks Kevin likes you a little", Vivienne told me. I looked at her in shock and almost ran into her! "Hey Julie, watch it!"<br />
"Oops sorry, Viv." Then I said, "Likes me? No way! With all the dumb jokes he's always playing on me?"<br />
"My mom says boys do dopey stuff like that when they like a girl, 'cos they're too young to know how to be all lovey dovey."<br />
"I like your mom, Vivienne, but I think she's wrong. That turkey just gets a kick out of making me look dumb."<br />
"You're probably right, Julie."<br />
<br />
So we get to their house. Betta and Little G are out shopping with their mom, and their dad is out working on something in the garage. So we went upstairs to their room.<br />

It looked like a regular boys room, (I guess.). They had superheroes lamps, bedspreads and posters. There were cars and balls, and action guys all over the place. Just the kind of place where a boy would be happy. They also had some school pictures of the guys from Springfield on the walls.<br />
<br />

<br />
I guess that's OK. Vivienne has one of my school pictures on her night stand. Kevin showed us the toy box full of Hot Wheels stuff, and the comic book box. The guys had sent them that stuff.<br />

Vivienne sat down on C.J.'s bed and their dog Barkley jumped up on her..<br />

<br />
"Barkley, you bad dog", C.J. scolded. "You know you're not allowed on our beds! Get down!"<br />
<br />

Barkley didn't budge. So C.J. yelled, "Barkley , DOWN!!"<br />
<br />

<br />
Barkley jumped down and started whining. He sounded just like Boomer whenever I scold him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I don't ever think I've ever heard C.J. yell before. Last year, Kevin had him so whipped he hardly said 2 words when Kevin was around. I guess he's finally wearing his "Big Boy Pants". Right on, C.J.!<br />
<br />
"Hey Vivienne, wanna see my action figures?", C.J. asked her.<br />
"OK", she answered.<br />
C.J. pulled out Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. I only know that 'cos Kyle has the same guys. I wonder if the guys in Springfield sent those too?<br />
<br />

<br />
Then Kevin said to me, "Hey Julie, did you know I put a snake in Danny's bunk when I was at camp with you guys?"<br />
"You did? Danny Never told me that."<br />
"Probably because he was embarrassed he screamed like a girl when he saw it!"<br />
I laughed at that. "Speaking of screaming like a girl---"<br />
Kevin held up his hand. "Please don't remind me!"<br />
HA!<br />

"Remember the talent show, Kevin? You were pretty good on your guitar, and didn't even need a tape player."<br />
"Yeah, you girls weren't too bad with your batons either. Oh hey! Danny told me his band played "A Horse With No Name", by America. That's one of my favorite songs! I've been practicing. Check me out..."<br />
<br />
Kevin grabbed his guitar and played that song. (And don't tell Danny I said this, but I think Kevin was actually better!)<br />

When Kevin was finished playing, Kevin jumped up and pulled some toy ray guns off of his shelf and handed them to me and Vivienne.<br />
"Hey girls, wanna play Space Rangers? Me and C.J. will even be the bad guys."<br />
<br />

<br />
"Nah...we'd better be getting home for lunch", Vivienne told the boys. "Thanks for showing us around your room, guys."<br />
"Yeah thanks", I said. "You have a pretty cool room...well cool for boys, anyway. See you guys later."<br />
<br />
Then Vivienne and I rode back to her house..<br />
"So what were you and Kevin talking about when I was playing with C.J.?"<br />
"We were just remembering about when we went to camp, why?"<br />
"Oh no reason. I just thought he might be asking you out for a date!" Vivienne busted out laughing!<br />
"Vivienne Walton! If you tease me anymore about Kevin, I'm gonna pour cold water on your head when you're sleeping!"<br />
"Calm down I was just kdding, Julie. But you're right, I shouldn't tease you. I guess I just wanted to see what you'd say."<br />
"I say Kevin Fleagle is a turkey!", I laughed.<br />
"Come on, I'll race you back to my house", Vivienne said as she took off.<br />
"When you're on a bike? No fair! Hey! Vivienne come back!" (Gotta go now future readers!)<br />
"Come on Vivienne, wait up, will ya?"<br />
<br />

<br />
This morning after Vivienne and I got dressed, I was helping make her bed. I really like the bedspread on it and asked her where she got it.<br />
<br />

<br />
"My mom made it", she explained. "Only it's not called a bedspread, it's a quilt. You make it by sewing little squares of fabric together."<br />
"Oh OK."<br />
<br />
We really hadn't made any plans for the day yet. We were just hanging out in the living room. Vivienne was playing the piano.<br />

I was laying on the couch, when I spotted a book in a basket about quilting.<br />

<br />
Hmmm....I've never tried sewing before. I wondered if I could make a quilt too. Maybe not a big one like on Vivienne's bed, but maybe a doll quilt for Lucy, My Real Baby doll. Mrs. Walton came into the room looking for her glasses.<br />
<br />
"Mrs. Walton, does it take a long time to sew a doll quilt?", I asked her.<br />
"No Julie, if you have the right amount of squares. Why do you ask, honey?"<br />
"Well, I was wondering...could you maybe teach me to make one?"<br />
She smiled. "Sure Julie, I'd be glad to teach you. Just let me find my glasses and we'll get started."<br />
<br />
She found her glasses and took me to the sewing room/laundry room.<br />

Groovy! There was even a dressmaker dummy standing by the washer. My mom doesn't even own a sewing machine. This was gonna be fun! We found some extra quilt squares in a basket. I looked over her shoulder as she showed me how to work the needle on the machine, and how to sew the squares together.<br />

That looked easy enough. So I sat down to try it myself.<br />

I messed up a couple of time, because I pushed the cloth through too fast and jammed up the machine, but Mrs. Walton showed me the right way to gently push the cloth through slowly, and soon I could do it without jamming up the machine.<br />

"It's super!" Vivienne told me. "Lucy will love it!"<br />
"Thanks! Will my mom ever be surprised I sewed something all by myself!"<br />
"Hey, do you wanna cut out our paper dolls now?"<br />
"OK, sure."<br />
Mrs. Walton was vacuuming in the living room so we took everything out to the sun porch.<br />

"I've got mine cut out", Vivienne said.<br />

"Hi Charlotte!"<br />
"Hi Karen!" *giggle*<br />
We pretended Charlotte and Karen were fashion models and wore all the new outfits we made for them on the runway.<br />

:"My, my, such busy little bees you are out here", Mrs. Walton said as she came out to the sun porch. "I thought you girls might like a treat." She held up 2 chocolate ice-cream bars. All right! We thanked Vivienne's mom, and I started to take a bite from mine when Vivienne stopped me.<br />
"Wait don't bite it yet."<br />
"Why not?", I asked.<br />
Vivienne stood up and said in her best grown-up voice, "I'd like to propose a toast."<br />
"With ice-cream bars?", I giggled.<br />
"Sure why not? I like to propose a toast to Vivienne and Julie, the 2 best friends on Planet Earth!"<br />
"Cheers!" (it's a little hard to clink 2 ice-cream bars together.)<br />

We ate our ice-cream bars, cleaned up all the scraps, and took our paper dolls up to Vivienne's room. Then suddenly she got a brainstorm.<br />
"Hey Julie, what's the one thing we forgot to make for Karen and Charlotte?"<br />
"Uh...boyfriends?"<br />
"No, a house, silly." She got out a large piece of oak tag and started drawing a chair and a bed.<br />
"If we fold the sides in, it'll stand up like a house."<br />
"Terrific! Now we need a kitchen, I said. So I drew a refrigerator, stove and sink.<br />
"That looks great, Julie! Now let's color it in."<br />
So we did. Pretty neat, huh?<br />

I think Charlotte and Karen really like it!<br />
<br />
Until tomorrow, future readers,<br />
