Dinner at Dion's

HELLO EVERYONE!
If you are reading this chances are you know who I am, your someone who stumbled across this blog, OR you are a creeper that happens to be stalking me. In any case you are welcome to read what happens in my day to day life, unless of course you are the creeper... Then just please click the X in the left hand corner and do not return to this website again!

I would start from the beginning (<-- commonly misspelled word... I took a spelling test on it today! HAHA) BUT I have already been on this Island for about a month. I am even starting to learn how to make it to school, the grocery stores, and even the beaches!=] (are you not proud mom.. and dad!?) It would not be the same for me to start from the beginning, so I will start from what happened today, if that's okay?

I woke up this morning around 6:20 A.M. to the sound of the awful alarm on my cell phone showered, got dressed, ate breakfast, and then followed Mark to Kalama. Kalama is the school that he teaches at and if you are wondering why the heck that I was there, well you see, we do not have our printer hooked up to the computer and my English homework was required to be typed and printed, so i drove there to print it on his printer! Then i back tracked to MY school where I went as through a normal day!

A normal day at King K includes going to your first class, recess, next class, lunch (also today there were two fights that broke out..which is very normal here!), last class and then your free! Well today I was invited to hang out with three of my friends after school. Tiana, Kailynn, and Dorian (Kailynn's brother came too BUT I do not know his name!) and we all headed to McDonalds. McDonalds is a rather popular place after school here, making it hard to park a Cadillac, but I managed to do so anyway.Once inside the smell overwhelmed me and there was no way I would leave with out a McChicken and some fries. So we ordered, sat down, ate our food, and then decided that we were still hungry. SO... I ordered a super delicious fudge sunday AND a banana pie. I am not sure if they have banana pies back in Montana but they are darn good!!=]]

So after all that we all headed towards Kailynn's house! There we just messed around and I mostly laid on her super comfy bed!:] By 2:45 P.M. it was time to head home because I was taking Dori and Tiana home! We left and when I got back I came home to find Mark napping and the house quiet. I knew that tonight we would be going over to one of Mark's good friend's house to visit because they had not seen each other in a few years. The man was Chef Dion.

Now I obviously had not met him before this evening, but I had heard very much about him! Mark and Aunt Rachel would talk about how he was an amazing cook and that he had a few kids and so on. Well we had ran into his daughter summer who is visiting until tomorrow and she set the whole thing up! She had not seen Mark in a few years and wanted to catch up; also Mark needed to catch up with Dion. So the plans were set and we headed over.

As we pulled up to his house we were not entirely sure that it was the correct house, but we were relieved to find Dion outside watering his plants when we got there. The night started off slow with small conversations of where they were in life and where Mark was, but it progressed into recalling old memories that they cherished. About half way through Dion made a most amazing dinner. It consisted of Pizza made with homemade dough, deer meat, and Buffalo cheese. Also, he made a salad with homemade smoked salmon that was absolutely amazing! I had never tasted anything so wonderful until they gave me dessert! They had a piece of cake that was some old family recipe and pecan caramel pie that was to die for! So we finished the night talking about everything from how life was now, to deep fried pie stands!

Tomorrow it has been decided that I will skip school and take Summer, Chef Dion's daughter who is in her mid twenties, to the beach and then the airport. No one else could take her and I surely would not pass on a beach day! So tomorrow I will try and come with more stories to tell y'all back home! =]] As for now I am going to put on some PJ's and lay in bed=]]
