With her grandpa's help Jackie starts taking care of one of the horses, Penny, and soon Jackie gets involved with the 4H and makes some new Country friends.

I love you, Daddy!
Let me take you back, back to Christmas of '07...
Christmas morning Almost all of the gifts have been opened and I open a gift from my dad, it's a game called "Safe Cracker" and I smiled at him and said "I love you." And he asked me an odd question... "Do you really?" "Yeah of course!" He smiled at my mom and then handed me one of the gifts labeled for him, "Then this is for you." He said. I opened it and found my very own, brand new laptop!!! Then he told me how he'd stood outside in the cold for more then an hour just so I could get that laptop for Christmas!!!
That was the coolest!
Now my laptop has been dying for the past few weeks now. Even going so far as to smoking.... So I've been talking to my family about buying a new netbook if they went on sale for "cheap".
I woke up this morning and my family kept saying "Good Morning!" I answered, "Mornin'". Then I saw it! A brand new Netbook! My dad did it again! I even said that, "Oh!! You did it again!" And I hugged him tightly, then went straight to work setting it up! This is a $300 plus computer and just for random reasons my parents got me this new laptop!!! YAY Me!!!!
My dad is the "Laptop Fairy"
I love you, Daddy!
