Nemo

This is Nemo. We are celebrating New Year's Eve 2007 -> New Year's Day 2008! here at her house with Katie, Molly and some other people who aren't here yet. In Versailles, Kentucky. New Year! 2007-8! Yay New Years...

Today we had a great time. First we played catch in the backyard with a tennis ball. Then we played tackle. Secondly, we walked for maybe 3 miles to Ace's family farm. There were lots of cows and fields and at the other farms there were horses. We saw another dead deer next to the road. It is a defining feature of Kentucky. For us. After we had walked to the farm we snuck past the house to the back fields. There are people living on the farm but they are not Ace's family. They are Jonny and Charlotte and a dog named Bug and roosters which he raises to fight. They live on the farm because Ace's family hadn't been there in a while and when they went there, they were living there and then they let them stay. Squatters! David Lloyd manages the farm and raises beef cows and grows tobacco which gets sold to Philip Morris. Loren didn't want Jonny and Charlotte to see us because they have shotguns and they probably wouldn't have recognized Loren and we didn't want that confrontation. So we saw the fields, cows, a stream and the tobacco barn. It was great.

We started walking back and knowing the distance we decided that we'd rather hitch hike. We got picked up by the third car passing and squeezed in the back. Everyone in the car was speaking Spanish and there was loud Mexican music. It reminds me of polka. They let us out near town and we all said "Happy New Year". Getting rides is a lot easier in rural areas. We probably could have hitched across the country on back roads and had no trouble getting rides the entire time.
