The grandkids were back for two days again.  Sarah and Steve are having their floors sanded and varnished, and they have to be out of the house for a while, so Lynn and I had more time with Alex and Addyson.  Addy is really walking—not just a few steps, but eight or ten (the voice is Alex)!  Alex helped me dig a fence-post hole so we planted him in it!  Is Addy getting a piano lesson from her mother or vice versa?  Alex found a treasure in the yard—a box turtle.  Addy shared some strawberries and cream with her mother. 

Feature:  ...and it's all done with chalk!

Quote for the Day: "Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries." - Christopher Morley
