She told me this morning she is in the middle of reading 5 books all at the same time. I asked her how she keeps the characters straight? She couldn't explain it, but it sounds like it is a personal challenge, a way to keep from being bored.
The picture of Roxie, Sam (in black hooded coat) Suzanna, and John (blue coat) shows them on the high school soccer field where they set up the target to shoot arrows. It is terrible if they miss the target and burrow into the grass, nearly impossibly hard to find. The shafts blend, even with florescent fletches. We walk back and forth, searching the ground where we thought we saw them hit. Much better to hit the target.
They started at 10 paces from target, have progressed to 30 paces, and she hits it! Muscles take time to train, strengthen. Practice is good. Her dad is her biggest fan and supporter, sometimes teasing her into practicing when she would rather stay in and read her books...

Pete was looking at this with me this morning - wants a turn. Ha!
A turn with the bow and arrow that is. (Not going to happen)
