Fly Fishing!

I can now say i have learned how to fly fish and have fished in Yellowstone Natnl Park! woo! are you proud of me? I actually caught quite a lot: the tree behind me, some grass, a small fern, a floating log, and my sister's shoe. As mr cook pointed out, i have to remember catch and release. after all, mariah is an endangered species. (lmao)

I have finished teaching Sage (the ranger's horse) to answer several questions. His tricks delight the rangers, and i cant wait to show Tim. first, i ask sage if he likes me; he nods his head. then i ask if he likes tim; he shakes his head. then i ask how old tim acts most of the time; he paws his hoof to count out 6 or 7. then i tell him hes a good boy and he gives me a slobbery kiss on the cheek. unfortunetly, i will have to wait until wednesday to show tim since we will be in Jackson Hole. (lyndsay, i told my parents ur advice).

have i told u about my purple ribbon joke? if not:
ok so tim is a little color blind. he was out shopping for boots and got some black ones, and it wasnt til he got home he realized they were purple. his friends gave him a hard time about it, but he was eventually relocated by the park and it was forgotten. he made the mistake of telling me. so we bought some purple ribbon and as soon as we could headed to the horse pen. we braided manes and tails and tied purple bows wherever we could. then we waited. unfortunetly,we werent there to witness the discovery. but the other rangers said that tim was like, "oh boy," and acted amused. just like i hoped he would. he has been entirely too fun to tease.

so i am very lonely and disappointed. most of my msgs are from mr cook. not that thats a bad thing, but i think that 14 year olds should have a lot of time on their hands. why no msgs?
