Hi, I am not a home schooler... but, I live in the country and there aren't 
many kids my age around.  Is there anyone out there that would like to write 
me here?  I am 10 yrs. old.  I am in the 5th grade.  I play clarinet.  I used 
to raise dairy goats for 4H, might again, depends.  I am in the Highly 
Capable program in my school.  I read at a college level, but my favorite 
books are GOOSEBUMPS!  
I am looking for someone around my age that would like to write letters here, 
or through snail Mail.  I need to practice my penmanship ;)  My real dad 
lives in Massachusets and I think it would be cool to write to someone around 
there, so I could learn more about that area. 
As for me, I live in ORTING WA.  In the shadow of Mt. Rainier.  It is very 
pretty here, lots of farms and animals about.  I have 3 dogs and 6 cats ( 
although that varies, people drop cats off here. )  I have a 4 year old 
brother, we call him Bug, he likes it.  We live with my Grandpa, my mom takes 
care of him.  She is getting married this summer.  I will be happy to get a 
new dad!
