The End

Part 1 of Day 20: Truth

Today I just got back to New York but I wanted to make sure of something so I told mom that I was going to be away for a few hours alone. I went to Mr. Oswald and asked him how long have you had the keys. He tells me since my dad died and that there is no Harold. The police and guard was all an act. The mailman, Larry, your mom, they all played part in this just for you and Lizzy. The mailman made sure your mom is not home the deliver it, Larry didn't retire till you were 13,and your mom was trying the hardest. Then he told me he put the playing card in the box when I left it in the limo. And he met my dad and me in a Flea Market, he and my father had a lot in common and put this plan together. He also said my dad did this to give me an adventure. But he also said that he actually is moving, not part of the story. :( Then he gave my an envelope which contained the stamp my dad was looking for. Lastly I took the subway home.

Part 2 of Day 19: The Box

After we rowed over to the rocks we sat down and opened the box. Inside the box it contained a letter and the rest of the stuff covered in wrapping paper. In the letter it talked about how he felt about the palm reader, and the meaning of life. The meaning of life is hidden right instead the question. Life gives meaning to life. Dad said he use to believe it was death that gave meaning to life but he changed and believes that life gives meaning to life. Life is all about a journey. After I finished reading Lizzy was crying. Then I ripped open the wrapping paper and it was a pile of rocks. There was like about 20 rocks each symbolizing an event in my dad's life. This was his string of life. Then there was a playing card it was for Lizzy, it was one of the last card Lizzy needed. This freaked me and Lizzy out, how did he know...

Part 1 of Day 19: Happy Birthday and Surprise

Today was my birthday. I just turned 13 and I didn't find the keys to the box.... For my birthday we went to  lake where dad fished with mom. At the lake it was smelly. At the lake I received my presents. My mom gave me a telescope and my Grandma gave me a one year membership for The Sky and Telescope Foundation. Lizzy gave me 4 of my favorite comic, the newest Betty and Veronica double issue, and candy of all sorts. Then I thank all 3 of them. Then Lizzy pulls out another gift and it was the fourth and final key to opening the box. I was happy, relief, and angry at the same time, and Lizzy said she found it while I was at the bathroom. Then we took a rowboat and rowed out the the big rocked where we opened the box.

Part 1 of Day 18:The Talent Show

Today is the day of the show. *sighh* We watched a couple people perform and then it was our turn. Lizzy was suppose to hula hoop but she got.. umm... cramps and so then I did the hula hooping and she threw the items to me. So for our show I was wearing a skirt hula hooping and eating bananas. We did a skit we never tired and won second place and $35. We beat the girls who made fun of Lizzy. :)

Part 1 of Day 16: Turnip

Today we went to the fair since it is the first day and Grandma needs to do something there. In return for going, I got a food, fried twinkle and fried snicker. As we were walking these girls were laughing at Lizzy tattoo. They said it means turnip and kept laughing. Then we just walked away to Grandma. For the rest of the day we practiced our routine and the next day.

Part 1 of Day 15: Grandma

Today me, Lizzy, and my mom went to Grandma's place. We took the train there. In Grandma's house there are a cat per room. My favorite cat is Tootsie Roll because I named her. When we got to the house I unpacked and played with the cat. Then I was bored and saw the hula hoop and tried playing with it and I was pretty good. Except when Grandma, mom, and Lizzy gangs up on me to tease me. So I run away.
