Day 5 - Well, today Enid had a restful day. She hung out at home all day while I spent my whole day at work testing classes non-stop. I had about a 15 minutes lunch break and that was it!
On Wednesdays, Colin and I always go to my parents house for supper. Enid, of course, went along with us. Before we left my parents’, I snapped a couple of pictures: one on the front porch and one with my dad’s race car which Enid got to see last Saturday.

There’s one place in Madisonville I knew I wanted to take Enid from the beginning. Madisonville has proudly displayed a “Best Town on Earth” sign on two bridges in town for years and years. I think one of those signs was removed in the last year. *thinks* Actually, I think it was just moved to another location. Anyway, downtown they built this really nice little bench area and put up this big “Best Town on Earth” thing. It’s so silly! Enid just HAD to have her picture taken there! Colin bought a bear from MCC (Madisonville Community College) yesterday. His name is Dexter and he’s going to be traveling to Canada soon to visit some sites. Colin’s going to use the pictures in this presentation he’s going to be doing about Canada. Enid and Dexter sat on the bench together and had their picture taken. Is there love blossoming??

Tomorrow is a new day. I wonder what Enid will do next. I also snapped a pic of Enid (if this makes sense) in front of the side of Bartholomew’s restaurant. It looks like a nice house, when really it’s just a painted brick wall. She’s so tiny in the picture! I had to back way up to get a good shot.

The octopus and I have been having more adventures over the last few days. But before I get to that, I must announce that the octopus now has a name. Bubs has given me permission to name her! So… I hereby name the octopus… Enid. Enid the octopus!

Day 2: On Sunday there was a family get-together at my Grandpa’s. We got together for his birthday which was on August 31st.

Day 3: Monday was a day off (Labor Day) so we went shopping with my mom and Katee in Evansville. We went to lots of different stores including Clarie’s. While we were there, Enid was checking out some Halloween headbands. She found a cute one that was a witch hat. I took a picture. She looks so glamorous. We looked for some good octopus books at Barnes and Noble but had no luck.

Day 4: Today (Tuesday) Enid went to school with me. It was a pretty boring day to be observed by an octopus. I was doing PLATO testing all day long. :tongue: I barely had a break today. Enid hung out on my desk all day and watched over things. Funny thing- one of the students brought a book to read when he finished his tests. It was a book about octopi!

Enid didn’t feel like writing herself today because she was afraid Rachael would tease her.
