1.  Build more houses.
2.  Build more work places to give jobs to people.
3.  Build high density commercial areas to provide jobs.
4.  Build more churches.
5.  Make Bibles allowed everywhere.
6.  Build more piping for water.
7.  Create more farmland to grow more food.
8.  Protect people from enemies.
9.  Make more electricity.
10.  Provide clinics and hospitals.

Russia's New Cage

This is Russia's new cage.  Russia is a lucky hamster.  She loves her new cage.  Her new cage has a rolly ball and it has one tube attached to it to bring her up to a little space where she can sleep.  And, there are tubes that you can add to it to add more sets.  Russia is a lucky, lucky hamster.

This shows the tubes that allow her to go to her new cage.  You can see the rolly ball in this picture.

Here you can see the tubes attached to both cages.

Here is the whole set-up.

This is the lucky hamster...Russia!

Mustang Cobras

This snake represents a Mustang Cobra.  It is really expensive.  How expensive you ask?  I really don't know but it is a really, really, really, rare car.  It has like 30 horsepower.  It is a race car also.  And when the race cars get to the finish line, they are done the race.  We saw this car at a car show in Harrisburg.  When we were there we saw a lot of other cars, not just Mustang Cobras.  We saw billions and billions of cars at the car show.  I can't even remember their names.  But I do remember one--the Mustang Cobra.  And this car is super duper fast.

I made this race track when we came back from the car show.  It's really kind of good.  That car you see in the middle is a car I have had a long, long time.  I don't know what it is, but it is a really fast car.  You know the wing on the back?  When the car goes really, really fast, that wing will help it stick to the road.

(P.S.  The Mustang Cobra photos were taken by my dad.  The race track photo was taken by me.)

Russia

This is my new pet, Russia.  She is a Russian hamster.  We don't know exactly where she came from, but my mom bought her at Pet Smart.  This little hamster, Russia, has some brown and white in her.  She has bright red eyes.  Mom says she is an albino hamster.  When I was going to turn seven, I was going to get a hamster.  But instead, I'm still six, and Mom just bought it when I was six years old.  (From Mom:  I used to have an albino hamster named Hammy when I lived in Chile.  When I saw this little girl at the pet store, I couldn't help myself!!)  She likes to roll around in her ball.  She sleeps in the morning and stays up all night. This is called nocturnal.

On Being a Big Brother

This is another picture.  What you see behind the flower are two Chinese characters.  It says "Big Brother".  I got this shirt to wear when a little girl that we were adopting from Taiwan--her name was Sophia--came home.  She is now walking.  It took a long, long time for her to get used to walking.  She likes to fall down and she laughs.  She is a really good girl.  She came to a better country for learning about God.  Our church family is really helping her to grow. I like being her big brother.

The End

The American Flag, Part 2

If you live near Fabio's in Grantville, you might see this flag.  If you look at the left planter at the top of the stairs, you will see this flag.  I like taking photos of American flags because it is the flag of the United States of America.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation, under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all.

Have a nice day at Fabio's if you decide to eat there.  I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese and the free bread!
