My name is Analee Winkel. "Winkelerz" is a nick-name my friend, Melody, gave to me. I am 15 years old and turning 16 in less than two months. My family and I are living in Melbourne Australia until June 1st. We have been to New Zealand and Fiji. We miss our dog, Buddy, more than we know. I am learning American Sign Language, ASL, and want to be an interpreter when I grow up. I also want to be a singer, photographer, jeweler, a mom, and a wife.

White Water Rafting: Out-of-Control-fun? or... Near Death Experience? Your pick.
So when I went to Oregon, we went white water rafting. Sound fun? Well that depends on the person. Me? Yea, I think I'll have to go with "Near death experience". Well, I almost fell out of the boat many times. I stopped paddling after the first 3 rapids. Or as Sam would say, "Oh, no! Here comes another riptide!" (hee hee).Our guide had to hold me down for one of the rapids. As my Mom would say, "Yea. Analee just hunkered down in the boat after the first few rapids." Ha! "Hunkered"? Nobody uses that word anymore! Sorry Mom. All I'm sayin' is you gotta catch up to the present. No offense. Our guide was really... wierd. He used words like "narly" and "totally". He had hair pulled back in a ponytail! And (to make matters worse) he had a beard that he could have tied in a ponytail too! He also had a mustache! He was really weird! Anyway... What do YOU think? Post your anwser. Out-of-Control fun? or... Near death expirence? You decide.
