For several years now we have been going down to visit our great grand father in Lufkin Tx. From the beginning we have liked down there. There are trees, there is family, and there is water. My great grand father is now 85 and his wife has Alzheimer’s and he has been taking care of her for a long time. Starting a couple of years ago we have thought of moving down there. When we went down there for the family Christmas this year, January 1st 2012, we really got to thinking about moving. Popo, our great grand father, loves it when we come down and visit him but it is a long drive. The trip takes 9 hours one way. When we were leaving to come home we made the decision to move down there and live in the little house that Popo was renting out. At least until we could buy the 27.74 acres down the road. The land has Popo’s pond on it and would be great for horses. So in February we are going to spend time down there to fix things up and start the moving process. The official move date is yet to be decided. All that we really now is that we are going to be moving down there some time after our sisters wedding which is in April.

Recently we have watched so very interesting shows the most resent was “Can We Go To Mars”. Scientists are working on making us able to go to mars there is still a couple of years left before we can go. If we chose to go now it would take 2.5 years to get there over 1 million pounds of food and would cost a lot. Not only are the trying to make it possible they are trying to make it more comfortable by building better g suites and other things like that. Though we still have a long way to go to mars they have robots there discovering things every day. Many people ask was there life on mars and scientists are finding fossilized bacteria and minerals that are in water. So perhaps there was life once maybe we will live there and find out for sure or maybe it is just a barren wast land.

This week we work on a logarithm and antilogarithm. Which was very hard to do. After banging our heads against it for almost three days our Mom finally helped us. The hardest thing about it was that it was very hard to understand the instructions for this section. When we finally understood how to work it we found that it was not really that hard and we just needed to not think about it so hard. Thanks Mom!

This week we continued the “Ken Burns: The War”. This show, in my opinion is more interesting then the “Ken Burns: Civil War”. Maybe because there is movement and it is more like a video rather then a slide show. It could also be that it is more reliant to the current times then the Civil War is. We learned this week about the the many people that died during the daily bombing raids and how the people at home were adapting to the war. There was also the many losses at the Monte Cassino on the Pacific Coats. The “War Towns” were booming with commerce and there was a lot of discrimination going on against blacks and Japanese and major fighting because of it.
It is very sad to see the number of people that died just during this period of time and the fact that this was only a fraction of the casualties
