Sorry about the wait for a post, I just didn't know what to write about until today. I have been attending the Singles Ward for about half a year and still trying to talk to girls. Like I said before, it's still not an easy process at 31 years of age, but it's still going on. Today at the Singles Ward Linger-longer, it was a potluck and I brought my family's favorite dish, Apple & Banana Salad. You remember the recipe on how it's easily made. There were a lot of single adults at the linger-longer after Church. We had briskets and many kinds of salads and desserts. Some of the members thought that the apple and banana salad was good. It would seem like a big hit for this dish that I made so much of it just for the ward members, but we've all had our fair share of many other things, like pasta salad, grilled mac-and-cheese, and other fruit salads. I was glad that I was able to share the delicious recipe to the ward.
Even after a couple of years from the divorce, I've been attending a Singles Ward to see if I can find another girl to talk to and go on a date. But with priorities going on, like working full-time at Walmart and helping the family out with house duties, and for being almost 32, it's kind of hard for me to do so, because I need to respect boundaries and try not to rush my life forward. I remember times when using the dating apps to talk to girls from Tinder, Mutual, and Hinge, but a lot of times when trying to talk to them, the apps have required subscriptions and it just consumes the money out of my bank account. It sometimes makes me think that dating is truly hard, because as an adult, you have to be patient with other girls and if they respectfully decline, you just have to move on.
But I digress with all the pessimism. One time recently, I asked a girl from the Singles Ward if she wanted to come see the movie King of Kings with my family. She said yes and we went to see it. It was a very good emotional movie about teaching children about the life of Jesus Christ. She really loved the movie and had a great time with me as well as I have. She texted me saying that she just wants to be friends and that it was okay with me.
As previously stated about the dating apps, Crafty has helped me with making sure my profile was complete and that the apps didn't require a subscription. The best way was to have a limit of five girls to like per day. The only problem is that I've gotten 27 admirers, but in order to see who they are, I'd have to agree to a subscription, but I'm just being careful, just like I have been on trying not to be the creepy and pushy type of guy. I even have been told that as long as I am patient and know that there is a girl out there for me to date and eventually marry, I'll be able to abide by it.
For the last few months, I've been getting the fifth Samy Kind book written for Mom to edit and see how the story goes. As you may have known about Samy Kind morally showing kindness but faces a lot of life challenges that help him improve his kindness, for this one, I will tell you about what its theme will be. It's about Samy being invited to one of his friends, Parker's family reunion for the weekend. Parker has a cousin whom he doesn't get along with very well. Samy's on a quest to show kindness that can help resolve a very big family crisis. I hope you'll look forward to reading it by the time it's published.
I remember back in middle school when I had to take a reading class on one of the novels for a book report. I was a little hesitant about it and I didn't quite understand it, but after trying to learn to read and getting help from my Mom, I started to understand how the story goes. I was assigned to read Tangerine by Edward Bloor. I didn't think it would have some intense moments, like a sinkhole incident or even dealing with muck fires and daily lightning storms. I sometimes quoted from the book and it drove my dad nuts! He didn't want any part of it, just because he couldn't stand it. I also remember in middle school the different book cover styles of the same story, but I've never seen this recent one on top. It must be quite a cool way of showing different styles. And speaking of styles, so many years later, I noticed Baby Doll has the talent of decorate-painting book pages. She asked me if I had any book that she could try painting on and I thought of letting her try Tangerine. She wasn't quite sure what to paint on it, but I told her she could try either orange circles that represent the tangerine fruit or even little soccer balls. She's barely starting on the project. I'm sure it'll turn out nicely. Have you ever read this teen novel?

A lot of you may know that I like to draw pictures for my Samy Kind book series. But there are other times that I draw pictures from one of my favorite franchises during childhood. As you may tell, by the looks of them. They are characters from the dinosaur series, The Land Before Time. Some of my siblings have remembered that franchise and like it too. I worked so hard to draw these for fun whenever I'm trying to figure out what to do. I hope you like these. It's still my art style for the Samy Kind series. Which character do you like from the franchise?

Sport and R showed up today because Sport was helping Curly with the truck. For a little while, I've been helping with things around the house while watching Independence Day. After an hour of watching, they came back from supposedly disc golf, they joined in watching the rest of the movie with me. After that, I put on another movie that they've never seen before. I remember seeing part of this movie when Drama Queen and Teach were still in grade school, but I never understood any of it. The movie was "John Tucker Must Die." We had quite a laugh on all of it, even though they thought it was quite silly with the way about how stereotypical high school dating could be. Anyway, we had a blast watching these movies.
Mom has asked me to be her guest blogger while she's taking a break. Things have been going on lately, like setting up our bean structure in a very different sort of way in our garden. Every year, we've been putting the bean structure at the very back of our garden, but for different, Dad wanted to try it in front of our little rocky section in the garden. It meant having to post new poles and restringing the cable through the poles. Not only that, but we had to put in a couple of new stakes that help keep the cable tightened. Pretty soon, we'll need to start tying multiple pieces of twine on the bean structure.
