Two Pollywogs, Two Sea Nymphs, and a Tadpole

This is the second year the kids have enjoyed June swimming classes at ECU with their mama and their swimming instructor, Miss Donna.

Doin' the States

Pablo and Nina accompany their mama to swimming class at ECU on alternate days in June from 5:30 to 6:00. At 6:10, Emilio gets his turn. The twin who is not swimming, joins Emilio and me on a thirty-minute adventure: a trip to the supermarket, the bookstore, the park, or, lately, the children's stacks at the ECU library, where Emilio has begun to take great pleasure in working his way through the books describing each of the fifty states. For Pablo, the pleasure has become infectious.

The Great Steak Heist

The Ada Evening News reports on page one: "A burglary was reported in the 400 block of east Eighth Street Saturday." That's our street, six blocks east. "The homeowner told police someone removed a window air conditioner to gain access to the residence. The homeowner said the only thing missing from the home was a steak."
