My Share of Accidents

Hi Guys,

A few days ago I went to a carnival that is held every year in Ceyras. It's the town festival and it's a lot of fun. there was a parade that you could join in except that it was a long walk around the whole town so I decided not to do it. People wore costumes and my classlates were there and some of my friends were on floats dressed in Disco clothes from the 70's!

I've been having a lot of fun, but I've had my share of accidents, too. We live in a really old house with stone steps and my little sister once fell down the entire flight of stone stairs. She was okay, but busted her lip. The other day, a few days after the carnival, it was my turn. I slipped as I was going down the stairs and landed really hard on my back. My dad was there to carry me to the bedroom and it was really painful but luckily I'm okay. Today, I had an even bigger scare. Down by the river at my friends' garden, my friend Pierre started teasing me and tried to pull me into the water and I let go and fell onto a plant that stung a lot when I touched it. It had a really red root and it scared me. My hand hurt a lot on my thumb and pointer finger so I ran home crying and washed it with soap and water and put bandaids on it. Bandaids make most things feel better to me.

Today, we went to the market in Gignac and I went to the playground. We bought four kinds of olives: Provencale, one with fennel, and I don't know the rest. They're all good but my favorite is Provencale. We also bought a lot of strawberries and we bought sausage and bread and we were supposed to get some chicken from our chicken guy but he wasn't there.

Today, I also went to recycling and I saw SNAILS!!! They were out of their shells and three were sticking on a box and two were crossing the road by my feet. They'e gross but my mom and dad actually eat them. Can you believe that? They're like the people in Paris!

Tomorrow, we're going to a flea market and then to Sete afterewards. Sete is a beach town. We're doing both things with our friends Lu and her son, Noah who you've heard about in most of my stories. Here in Ceyras we play a lot of marbles, and I bought a lot of marbles at that flea market last time. Okay, I've got to move it, move it! To bed. Dad is going to read me my new book, Rebecca and Ana.

So good night et bon soir et au revoir!
