Dear Kathryn,

I went to Rye Playland with my church. It was fun. My group and I went on the big dragon ride.It was a little bit scary but I liked it. We went on the twister. We went on two water slides. One was really fun. It was the big one. When you go on it, the chairs don't stop. You have to hop in and hop out. The little ride was fun. If you were near the fins, you get soaking wet.

From Zenaijha
Hope you have fun.

In 10 days, I am going to the Bahamas for my birthday and for a little fun! There will be ice skating, golf, swimming, snorkeling and most exciting is that I am going to be in a different country! My dad will be taking me to bakeries to taste different kinds of breads or cookies, so I can't full up! Every night might be my birthday because the point of coming is that it is going to be my birthday. There will be amazing food to eat. Some days we will just be cruising and other days I will be touring the country. There is so much stuff that I can see. It could be the best vacation yet! I can't wait until next time.

Did you know that Haiti shares the same island with the Dominican Republic? The island is divided. Haiti has a smaller piece of the island.

Click here to see a map.

I like Haiti because it's very hot and the people there are nice when you deserve it. The food there is banging. The houses are really big, especially my house. My house is white and very, very big. That why I love my country so munch!!

This summer I went to my Aunt's house, to the pool, to the library, and to Six Flags. The rides at Six Flags were awesome.

Dear Mrs. C,

Every week I go to the library. The first week I went to the library I chose books about other cultures. I chose five. On the second week, I got to choose books about animals. I read one about African Elephants. It was very interesting. I chose eight books. I really liked them. I also got six book dollars. I read all eight books in three days. I could have done it in two days but I did not feel like it. I am already going to my third week. HAVE FUN !

On Sunday, I went to a party in a park at White Plains. The party was for a girl named Rosa. She turned one and had a Dora theme. We played baseball, dominoes, and on the jungle gym. It was so much fun. The cake was so good. My favorite parts were watching people playing baseball and having the cake.

Dear Mrs. Chauncey

This is a great idea to keep in touch with friends. It works great on my computer. The best part is that I can see what people are doing during the summer. Like Kathryn is going to camp. She also is going to church every Thursday.

Dear Allison,

This summer I'm moving into a new room in my house because my brother is moving out and my sister is taking his room. I'm taking my sister's room and best of all I get to have her bed. She's buying a new one. Every night I’ll get to pick which bed I want to sleep in. I will get to paint the walls bright colors. I'm going to go to Home Depot to get the colors. My brother is going to live in a two house apartment. I can't wait to see my brother's new apartment. By the way, my brother's name is Danny. The apartment is about an hour away from my house. Allison, if you read this, please write back on share. Don't worry I'll be here all summer.

Love, Kathryn

Dear Megan,

Have a good time in Puerto Rico. When you come back, try to tell me all about it. I'm going to camp tomorrow. It will be a blast. I have church every Thursday at camp so I don't have to go every Sunday or Saturday, but I'll go on Sunday. I'm an altar server at my camp and at the church I go to during the school year. Write me back if you can on share.

Your friend, Kathryn

Dear Dharia,

In the Dominican Republic there are a lot of hotels and computers with Internet access. There are also a lot of houses and pent houses. I know this because I go there for Christmas, New Years, and sometimes in the summer.

* The Dominican Republic is located east of Haiti. D.R. is also very hot. There are many animals in the Dominican Republic. A couple of animals that you don't usually see in New York are iguanas, monkeys, pecan, and other tropical animals. The Dominican Republic also has very beautiful, big hotels. There are some in almost every city. The one that I go to on vacation is called Hamaca Coral. It's located in Boca Chica. The Dominican Republic is nice. They have the most juicy coconuts and beautiful palm trees. The best part of the Dominican Republic is the food, the candy, and deserts. They are all delicious.

* The Dominican flag has the colors red, white, and blue. The white cross divides the colors. There are four squares. In the squares are the colors red and blue.

* The emblem is similar to the flag design and shows a bible, a cross of gold, 4 Dominican flags and 2 spears on the pattern of the flag. There are branches of olive and palm around the shield, and above on a ribbon is the motto "Dios, Patria, Liberated" meaning "God, Fatherland, Liberty." Below the shield is another ribbon bearing the name of the country "Republica Dominicana".

Dear Mrs. Chauncey,

6/25/07 (Dharia, Jodaliza, who is now in 5th grade, read your shared entry. She emailed me to say that there is internet access and many beautiful hotels in the Dominican Republic. I'll share her Summer Suitcase entry as soon as she writes it!)

Do you know that in Dominican Republic there is no internet? There are no hotels. You have to stay in houses. I will not be able to write you for five days when I am there. Are you going to go on vacation this year? Did you know I am not going to Lime Kiln next year? I am going to Hawthorne Christian Academy for school next year.

Your friend, Dharia

6/22/07

This summer I am planning to go to Washington D.C. for the summer. I am also going to the Dominican Republic. In the Dominican Republic My family and I stay in a hotel called Hamaca Coral. That hotel is located in Boca Chica. The Dominican Republic is fun. It's very hot, and the sun is always beaming on you. If you ever go there, be sure to pack brightly colored clothes. For the summer we're also going to have a birthday party for my brother, Jomar, on July 21. This summer will be fun.

Dear Lillian and Emily,

I can't wait until summer because I am going to Puerto Rico with my family. There are beaches there. If enjoy it there, I hope to go there again. My mom told me that there is something that we ride on to get to the other beach. You can probably go shopping for jewelry. I'm scared because everyone there talks Spanish and I don't understand it yet. Maybe before we go to Puerto Rico my mom or grandma will teach me Spanish. I hope! There are lots of lizards there and they are humungous. We have to watch out for them. I think the temperature goes up to 100 degrees. Well, I hope you have fun!

Love, Brianna

6/18/07

Dear Emily and Jahkye,

When I go up state, I am going to miss you guys a lot. I will send a lot of notes to you guys in the summer. So visit the Summer Suitcase a lot.

Your friend,
Lillian

To Brianna,

On the first day of summer I will be going to NJ to see my grandma and grandpa for a few days. This summer, as you know, I will be going to Florida for six weeks. I will be going to Sea World and I will swim with dolphins. I will be turning 10 this summer. I'm going to Build-a-Bear Workshop with some friends and family for a birthday party. My dad said he would work on math with me and we can go to the book store and get some books to read. So I can stay as smart as I can be this summer. When I come back from Florida my family will rent a house by the beach. In fact the house is so close to the beach our backyard is the beach! We will rent that house for a week. My step dad even said we will have a week of fun.

Love, Chloe

Dear Tara,

On my summer vacation I'm going to Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico it is very, very hot. I like Puerto Rico because there are hotels and lots and lots of beaches. I like going to Bonsa. In my hotel there is a hot tub and three swimming pools. There are lots of stores and cars. Lots and lots of different foods as will.

Megan

June 13, 2007

Dear Megan and Tara,

This summer I will also go to my mom's friend's house. The reason I am going to my mom's friend's house is because her grandchildren are coming. When they come, I will be able to go to the pool. We also get to go to the mall a lot.

Pamela

June 13, 2007

Dear Megan and Tara,

This summer I hope I will be able to go to Pennsylvania. I want to go there because we are going to the chocolate factory. We went there two years ago and I hope we will go this year. The best thing is that I get to go to my aunt's house. We get to stay up very late. The last time I went there, we stayed up until the next day. I was asleep until about 11:00pm. Seance and I are going to Pennsylvania. I might not be able to write on this for about 3 to 5 days or more. So please do not kick me off.

I want to go to Disney World again because I was only 5 when I went there last. In my opinion, Disney World is more fun then Disneyland, in California. I also want to go to Pennsylvania. When I am there, I want to go to the Cristel Cave, The Franklin Institute and Pat's. If I can, I also want to visit my Aunt Sue in California.

Dear Chloe,

During the summer I will mostly swim before I go to Puerto Rico on July 4. Maybe you can come and swim with me. Well, in Puerto Rico there are beautiful beaches and tress. It is really hot there but sometimes it rains there. I have never been to Puerto Rico before because we have been busy with baseball.

Your friend,
Brianna

Hello All,

Today I had my second water aerobics class at a friend's home. It seemed pretty easy while I was doing the moves in the water, but this evening I am sore! My knees hurt, my elbows hurt, and I'm a bit stiff. My body is letting me know that I have to get more exercise. So, I'm setting a goal. Walk three miles three times a week.

Tomorrow evening, Mrs. Greenbaum and two music teachers will join the Chauncey family for a BBQ. My son will have an opportunity to learn more about the music education program at Potsdam's Crane School of Music. I'm looking forward to Mrs. Greenbaum's desserts!

Many hugs,

Mrs. Chauncey

Hello Everyone,

I've been quite busy. It is hot in my office -- the air conditioning never cools off this room. I have a little challenge to share with you. Click the link and give the Setting Crossword Puzzle a try. Let me know if you were able to fill it in.

On Saturday, July 14th we will be going on vacation for two weeks. I will try to find a computer with an internet connection. If I don't respond to your writing or share your entries quickly, just keep writing and I'll catch up as soon as I find a computer!

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had an enjoyable 4th of July with your families and friends. The rain hit before we could have our BBQ on the deck, so I ended up making baked ziti instead. Tomorrow morning I will take my son, Charlie, to visit Nyack College. If you click the link, you will see a map of the campus. It is the first college we will visit this summer. Keep on writing. I love reading your entries.

Hi Everyone,

JohnnyDepp.jpgI'm taking my daughter and her friend to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 tonight.

Well the movie was just "crazy" from my point of view. I did not see the first two "Pirate" movies, so I was probably confused as I didn't really understand the "plot". But I sat back and just let the action carry me! I have to admit, there was too much violence for my taste -- even though they threw humor in to lighten things up a bit.

I am a Johnny Depp fan. So that made it all worth it!

Hugs,
Mrs. Chauncey

June 24, 2007 06:22 PM

Hello Everyone,

Today my family enjoyed a high school graduation party for a dear friend's son. It was a cool evening. We sat on the deck reminiscing about the days when our children were babies. We all moved into the same neighborhood about twenty five years ago, and we've been friends ever since. We've been through some happy times and some sad times together. I hope all of you are taking care of your friends. Below you will see a picture from one of our neighborhood block parties. Many hugs, Mrs. Chauncey
