Library Day
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Up for waffles. Linnea had put together the menu herself for their day together.
And OLeif at work and then a night with the guys, minus one of their foursome who was in Disneyland and the Caribbean for a week with his wife.
Meanwhile, Collette, Linnea, and Puck took a walk to the library in the already-increasing heat of the morning.
When they arrived to read Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie and a small pile of Bill Peet’s works, Collette heard a conversation between a librarian and a mother.
“I’m looking for the Phonics program sound recording, but I can’t find it.”
“Well, it could be under the education section. Here it is.”
“Oh, I was looking under ‘F’ over there.”
Hopefully Collette had just heard wrong…
Then a break of a snack of red grapes and candied almonds (prepared by Rose) before a return home for grilled cheese and tomato soup and a movie in the cool basement prior to Puck’s nap hour, which never took place…
In the afternoon…
-
Played in the duck sprinkler, flooded out the mole hills, and found a giant slug slumbered up inside one of them.
-
Picked wild strawberries in the backyard; Puck ate all of them.
-
Walked to the fuel station to buy three dollars and five cents worth of Hershey’s chocolate bars and Skittles.
Dinner that evening was prefaced with Puck’s prayer. He had graduated to a higher level of theological awareness:
“Dear Jesus! Dank you for saving us! ‘Namen’!”
The later evening was reserved for Shirley Temple.
In other news, the family genealogy was still going. Over 200 pages later, and still no light at the end of the tunnel…
