TIME: 12:10 PM

SUBJECT: Bored hawk and an upset swallow
The swallow was not happy that Mr. Hawk is hanging around.
It was flying around the larger bird, sometimes making contact.
The hawk didn’t move from its perch for quite some time.

Back in the early 1970’s, a bakery still operated there.

I remember going inside with my mom while she bought pizza crusts.

When I was younger, I thought that grasses were a lame thing to plant in a landscape.
Now, I think they are pretty cool.

While walking home from the last official Girl Scout meeting of the school year, Stella and I passed our neighbor’s automobile.
I think, but don’t quote me on this (unless I’m right), that it’s a 1958?
No matter what year it is, it’s a cool car.

PLACE: Front Porch
SUBJECT: Stella
It was a good Mother’s Day.
The kids made me breakfast.
I lazed around.
Claudia and I went to the cemeteries and left flowers for my mom, grandmothers, a great-grandmother and an Aunt.
And Stella blew bubbles that sat on the porch rug and looked like peppermints.

PLACE: Cherokee Street, St. Louis, MO
SUBJECT: What we did
Claudia wanted to “do something” today.
We briefly contemplated going to the Botanical Garden, but it began to rain fairly hard.
We decided to to to Antique Row on Cherokee Street.
One of the shops we visited was a used bookstore.
We stopped and had lunch at La Vallesana (The Taco Stand)
Our seats were outside, sheltered from the rain on the covered patio.
I thoroughly enjoyed my veggie burrito.
I thought this a very creative use of zip ties.

The annual Spring Fling was held tonight at the grade school.
There were skill games, face painting, food and prizes.
SD selected a bottle of bubbles with the tickets that she won.
She does enjoy a good bubble session.
