Peace arrived today! We checked our mail on our way out and Peace was in
our box! We were so glad to see her! Peace took an adventure to us out to
Scroggins, TX for a Bass Mailbox. . .this is not a namebrand, mind you, but
a mailbox decorated to look like a bass. . .it's a *happy birthday* gift for
Emma & Amanda's Granddaddy Morgan! Peace went to the birthday party with us
too. . .so today, Peace did a 300 mile round trip only to arrive at a party
with a housefull of people!

Tomorrow's the big day -- off to the Big Apple! Peace has had a great time
with us here in Texas! But travelling is such an adventure! Today has been
really busy getting packed and running out to do last minute things. Peace
visited the post office with us. Everyone asked how much we'd sell her for!
Emma & Amanda got really mad about that! We got a pin for Peace to wear
today that looks like a Texas flag with a Texas shape on it! It's bigger
than the others, but then everything is bigger here!

We made it! NYC! Peace had so much fun flying in first class!! Warm
nuts, warm towels, and hot chocolate chip cookies! Flying is so much fun!
Peace hung out in the room all evening.

To the Empire State Building (except Beth forgot the camera) -- we did buy
Peace a button though to commemorate her visit to the Empire State Building.
Beth is a little afraid to carry Peace around here. . .probably with good
reason! Peace wants to meet someone famous. . .and we're on the lookout!!

tonight. We took a ride in a spaceship and then ate on the surface of the
planet Mars! It was so much fun!!

We went to the Phantom of the Opera tonight! It was AWESOME!! Beth bought
me another pin to add to my dress, and it looks like the Phantom's mask,
silvery!
