Mr. Savitsky’s Sizzli Summer Blog

I just got back from a three day horseback ride! We did this for my mom’s birthday and I had so much fun. We stayed in 10 mountain division huts which are where the army trained for world war 2. My horse was a gelding (boy) quarter horse named Loma my horse was great but it bucked his head alot so it was hard to control. My sister who is also a big rider’s horse was attracted to water atnd would splash around alot. It was an awesome trip

I am taking cooking camp this week. I cooked pie, cookies, pasta and salad. I also made fondue.

Piano Man - Billy Joel

14 Year Old Travis who lives in Salt Licks, Texas is asked by his dad to be the man of the house, and watch over his mom and brother Little Arliss. But then one day Travis and Little Arliss find a dog named Old Yeller at their house. As Travis looked at the dog he saw the dog had its ear chewed off and a stub tail. Travis hated the dog because it ate the family’s meat that was drying out. Travis wanted to get rid of the dog but his mother says no because Little Arliss wanted to keep it. For many days Travis hated Old Yeller but then started to like him because he was a great hunter dog. One day Old Yeller and Travis went hunting for hogs and the hogs attacked booth of them. The both were injured so badly that they both had to stay in bed for a week. While they were in bed a farmer named Bud Searcy and his daughter Lisebeth who Travis liked brought a puppy to try to help his wound. But the puppy didn’t heal his wounds. Finally, Travis was out of bed, but he found out that his cow had got sick. They had to shoot her because it was contagious if the animal was to bite something. Later that evening Travis’ mother and Lisebeth went out to burn the cow so that it wouldn’t get eaten. But a very dangerous wolf came and chased them but Old Yeller was there to guard them. The wolf and Old Yeller fought until Travis shoot the wolf. The wolf was extremely wild and it bit Old Yeller. Travis and his mom were wondering if the wolf had the same disease the cow had. It was a tough decision but the had to shoot Old Yeller. Finally, Travis’ dad came home with a horse for Travis, which made Travis feel a lot better.

The Outsiders is a book about “greasers” and the “socs”.It takes place in the 60’s around New York or New Jersey, it doesn’t say. The greasers are the East side families who are not poor but don’t have alot of money. The word soc  (pronounced soshe) are the west side families and are rich . The main character, Ponyboy is in a gang with his brothers Darry and Sodapop. The other people in the gang are Two-Bit, Steve, Dally and Johnny. One night when Darry hits Pony, Pony runs away with Johnny. Pony is 14 and Johnny is 16 but is the smallest in the gang. With help from Dally they get to an abandoned church in Windrixville. When a shcool picnic takes place in front of the church Pony and Johnny go in to the church to save the kids that were in the church because a fire started burning the church down. When Johnny  and Pony get home they find out that Johnny  has severe injuries. After Johnny dies Dally pretends to have a gun and the police shoot him. After that Pony pretends that Johnny is not dead. In the end he tells himself that Johnny really is dead and he should just remember him as a great person.

The NBA Draft was last night. It was no surprise that Blake Griffin went #1 to the Clippers. I was surprised that the Knicks took Jordan Hill instead of Stephon Curry (Who went to the Warriors with the next pick). I think the Knicks could use a big guy with alot of rebounding skills. Then the Sixers took Jrue Holiday instead of Ty Lawson, which was also pretty surprising to me. Lawson is 5′11 and Holiday is 6′4, so I can unerstand why they took Holiday. I was surprised that Tyler Hansbrough went #13 to the Pacers. That surprised me because, I thought he would go in the 20s. In college the players are smaller, so Hansbrough is considered “tall”, but he could be good, you never know. Dante Cunningham went #33 to the Trail Blazers. He went before DeJuan Blair and Sam Young which surprised me. I’m sure the Cavs want to make LeBron want to stay in Cleveland because they brought in Shaq from the Suns. The Bucks traded Richard Jefferson to the Spurs and the Warriors traded Jamal Crawford to the Hawks. Vince Carter was also traded to the Magic. I’m looking forward to seeing these good rookies who were drafted be good in the NBA. I’m also looking forward to some more big trades.

I just got braces and I was wondering if anyone was getting them on or off this summer?
