Sandy is a skunk who lives in a rundown house. One day she went to see her friend named Steven. Steven is also a skunk. When she got home there were some men there with a bulldozer. They were going to tear down her house. She was going to try to stop them. A man saw Sandy, and decided to run her off. Sandy suddenly raised her tail and sprayed the man, but it was too late. One of the men had already started to tear down her house.

Sandy left and went back to her friend Steven's house. Sandy told Steven what had happened to her house. Steven said, "You can stay here until you find somewhere else to live." "Ok, I will try to find another place to live. I hope it does not take long," Sandy replied. "Take as long as you need," Steven told Sandy.

She went to go look for a place to live the next day but she had no luck. A week, a month, a year went by before she knew it and she still had not found a place to live. Sandy and Steven had gotten real close. They had even talked about getting married. So they did get married, and had two kids named, Peter and Chasiety. That leads us to believe some things happen for a reason.

My wife and son went to Virginia Beach last weekend. I stayed busy so I would not miss them. I moved our things in our new home. I also moved my aunt's things, too. After that I started to unpack boxes. I felt like the weekend was never going to go by but I kept it in mind that Monday was just two days away. When they came home on Monday, I was real happy to see them! We ate dinner and spent a lovely evening at home together. Next year I am going to go with them.
