The Park

Well, we had an absolutely splendid afternoon at the park, with our celebrity readers and our cool little kid listeners.  Good Pal Menosky read about Dumpy LaRue, a porker with passion.  Much fun.  Thanks, GPM! 
Our celebration was prompted by some higher test scores from last spring's test, but GPM and I focused on all the great reading and writing we're doing at our school.  It was time to have some fun.

I had a marvelous time. Everything was beautiful. Made my heart sing.
It was actually one of the nicest community events I've ever seen here in B-town. Retired teachers along with IU faculty, administrators, coaches, and athletes, as well as MCCSC officials, etc., all having a wonderful time - with BOOKS and KIDS.
Thank you for inviting me.

One little first grader asked me, "How old are you?"
"Eighty," I replied, "I could be your grandmother.
She thought for a moment, and then said, "You could be my grandmother's grandmother."
So true!
