she says. “Build your wardrobe using one or two basic colors so that the same shoes
and accessories can be worn with pretty much every thing,” recommends McAlpin. She
suggests the combinations of black
and white, brown and beige, or black and beige. Also pack items that are multipurpose.
For example, a large T-shirt can double as a nightgown and a beach cover-up; flip flops
can double as slippers and casual shoes. “And make sure each item can be worn with
at least two outfits.”

Trees can be classified in several ways based on their function or use. They are used
most commonly for lumber or building products. Pine and oak are among the most
popular for this purpose. Trees, especially pine and other fast-growing trees, are also
used for erosion control and wind barriers. They are planted in rows on the tops and
sides of steep hills. Besides these uses, trees are considered extremely valuable for
landscaping purposes where they provide
shade, color, and screening for homes and businesses. Among the most popular are
evergreens, maples, honey locusts, and birch. Obviously, trees have many other uses as
well— just ask a bird...or a kid.

they forget to come up for air?” he asked as he meandered along in my footprints, not
really helping with the task at hand. “They don’t forget, now get back to work and help
me,” I said in an irritated tone. Ron was only six years old, so I could hardly blame him
for his distraction, but I really was getting tired of being the older sister in charge all the
time. “Anna, he said, are you mad at me?” This made me feel guilty for snapping at him,
and I replied, “No I am not upset with you, I just want to get back to the camp and help
father and Tina with the rest of the daily chores, so I have some time for myself later.”
Just then I saw Brandon walking toward us with a basket full of shellfish.
