I will start out by saying that i put a considerable amount of time into deciding what i would call my blog. I chose the name Paddlin Madeline because I think it fits the purpose of this blog well. I am on an adventure. I will be paddling my way through the unknowns of the next few months...and the future for that matter. I first heard of Paddlin Madeline from my grandpa and in recent years it has become a nickname from my high school English teacher, Mr. Heeres. It originates from the song "Paddlin' Madelin Home." Way back from the '20s.
I am at my Aunt's house, currently. West of Seattle. I have so far been pleasantly entertained by my 6 year old cousin, Zach.
This morning for instance: I woke up. Looked out my window. And there he was, flinging seed to the mass of chickens. In shorts and rain boots.
Last night, with lots of expression says, "I was on my dad's bike so that I can get beefier!"
He also has a book entitled "Children Make Terrible Pets" by Peter Brown. It's hilarious!
In the words of my aunt "You're stuck as my personal nanny slave."
