Pascal the Gecko

This past week I volunteered at Camp Briarwood. I will let you know all about my week later, because now I am here to honor the one and only Pascal.

Not many had the privilege of meeting Pascal, but if you had, he would love you. Pascal loved all. He was a good little gecko. As his owner, John Morson, said, "Pascal is 1/4 human, 1/2 angel, and 1/4 gecko." He loved camp, and was a happy little creature.

For two weeks, Pascal lived among us counselors. I will always remember meeting him for the first time. We bonded immediately. He and John shared a connection unlike any man and gecko had before. John gave him food, a home, and unconditional love.

Now, as much as it pains me to say it, Pascal is no longer with us. We were led to believe a camper is the cause of this great loss. One morning John came to see Pascal... Pascal was not there. His house was taken off the shelf, and left open on the counter. He was nowhere to be found.

There is a place in all our hearts for a little green gecko. Pascal had enough love to fill this place, in not only my heart, but everyone else's.

Pascal and his loving father, John.

RIP Pascal

Ok. Look at this picture. Look at it again. Now try and tell me you are not impressed. Us Jager girls take pride in our watch tans. Mine, the most impressive one, is on the left, then Rosie's then Ruthie's. Virginia got a watch today. If she was not afraid of the sun, she could have one too. You might think I am kidding about the whole afraid of the sun thing, but I am not. She puts on nothing lower than 50... the rest of us use 4. Oh well, her loss. Anyway, back to my watch tan. I have been working on it since February. I probably take too much pride in it. HA! That was a funny joke. No one can take too much pride in a watch tan.

#plans

I know all of you are itching to know my plans for the rest of the summer. I am not going on anymore vacations. Unless, it is the lake or something not far. Other than that, I will be babysitting and working for my dad some. Sounds fun, right? #bejealous

#whatnot

What else is going on in my life? 

1. I am stuck being 15 for another month and 3 days. The administration thinks I am going to start school on my 16th birthday. Ha. Yeah, that's a good one. I am not going. I am putting my foot down.

2. Auburn football starts back in 52 days. So, basically my life begins again in 52 days.

3.HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 COMES OUT TOMORROW!! I might cry. I am not kidding. That says a ton, because I do not cry much.

Fireworks

What is it about a firework that is so amazing? The mix of explosive color and light draws me in. To me, the most beautiful fireworks stretch across the sky as a magnificent golden color and sparkle as they streak towards the ground. When watching a firework show I become captivated by the night sky as it is painted with rich, bold colors. They are a simple thing that I find breath taking.

Of course, I took pictures fireworks on the 4th of July. Here are my 2 favorite shots. Enjoy.
