So, do you know what is so amazingly excitig?! I'm in blyth! Yep, right around the corner from Skyhouse :) and please pardon all the typos in this, you see, I'm writing from my iPod over wifi from the blyth library... I must be rather a sight for passer by to see three people in a car at the side o the road all using some computing device of one type or another... I am staying at the farmhouse tonight, and then going to sleep in the garage at the lot tomorrow. I want to hear those coyotes! It has been a rather hectic day, leaving the house at 8:30 ( we aimed for 7:30, but missed badly) and when we got to the lot we were there for no more than an hour or two when a huge sprayer truck come to spray the soybeans over in the next field with some toxic insecticide.
Dear me, I must abruptly end this because were on the road again...Rest of the story later!

YIKES!
oh my, my. It has been an aawfully long time since I posted pictures...
I'll see if I can get some up tonight...
I have a story to read while you wait though =)
So while I was at the barn this Saturday, a family came in who wanted to sign their little girl up for lessons. It's ordinary enough, except that the parents are deaf, and the litle girl only knows a bit of english. They were trying to talk to us in sign language, which didn't quite work so well, as you can imagine.
When I got home I went on the iPod App store, and found this application where you type in a letter, word, or sentence and a 3D figure will sign them out for you, and you are able to change the speed to slow it down. It is actually quite simple to learn... though I think I will have more trouble actually understanding what they say... but i'll get it eventually =)
Some sentences I can sign are...
"My name is Becca, I am 14 years old."
"I am learning sign language."
"That male/female horse is (X#) years old."
Plus a few odds and ends words... Yes, no, slow, fast, be careful, hello, how are you, good, she, he, etc... plus numbers from 1-10
