     Little bluegrass singer/musician Colton Ramey, aged four, writes another entry in his journal after coming home from church.

Howdy!  This is your little bluegrass buddy, Colton Ramey, writing.  Just got home from church; it was fun in children's church today.  We got to play games, act all crazy, yell, run around.  It was a blast!!

I don't know when I've played so hard! LOL

Now I'm sittin' in the kitchen, eating ice cream.  Mama made us kids ice cream floats (vanilla ice cream with Coke Cola); they're really tasty, just right on a hot summery day!  The ice cream and pop feels so good going down my throat!

I performed last weekend at the Kentucky Opry.  We did good; the people clapped and hollered after we were done singing/picking.  I felt just like a star!!  We will be playing there again this weekend, and next month, we are going to go to THE Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee!

Now I KNOW we're stars!!  People allus say if you have sung at the Opry, you're famous.  I guess that makes us big-shot stars now, huh?? *grins*

Maybe singin' at the Grand Ole Opry will take some of the sting from when we didn't make it on "America's Got Talent".  I hate that we didn't make it; we were tons better than that little four year old girl Kaitlyn or that nine year old boy named David!!

I do like Kaitlyn, though.  She sent me an autographed picture.  I have her hangin' on my bedroom wall along with my SuperMan picture and my pictures of me with bluegrassers. :)  That was nice of her!

I am getting scared:  in less than a month from now, I start kindergarten.  Now, mama and daddy's been doing their best in helping me prepare, but I am still scared.  What if the teacher doesn't like me?  What if the kids make fun of me??  What if I get lost?  What if I can't find the bathroom when I need to go??

What if I get left on the big, yellow bus??  I don't like school buses; they're too big, and they smell!  And they're way too noisy!!

Well, I am going to go; have to go to bed soon.  Mama wants me to get used to going to bed early before school, so I won't be such a dinosaur when I wake up.  I will write in here again soon; take care and God bless you!

~Love, your little bluegrass buddy, Colton Ramey, aged four.

-- I am continually impressed with the number of personalities you can store and keep active with your writing -- are national acclaim and success in Colton Ramey's future? -- may the nighttime sky fill your heart with sweet dreams -- JMW

This series is amazing. Thanks for sharing this. Being a musician,I can sympathize with Colton's trials--wish I was his age and starting over.
I'm really sorry I missed the earlier stories. I'll have to go back this week and read them

Enjoyed this one and could so associate it with my own four year old grandchildren who too will be going off to school soon.

Having driven a school bus for awhile, I couldn't agree with you more, but not to worry, Colton, most of the bus drivers are very nice, just like me!

Hello Karen Lynn,

This is so cute, a peek into a child's mind and a view of his fears and "worries"...remarkable!
