Too Big

The guy at Family Tree wanted to take a picture of us with the big frog you can see in the background but Colin became upset when we got too close. I don't blame him, it was huge.

 

Sucker Egg

Colin is selecting a lollipop from the egg at Merriam Community Center.
 

They Have Returned!

My beloved lilacs are blooming after taking a year off. Something happened last year and none of the lilacs bloomed so I was delighted to see them this year. They used to bloom for my birthday but I guess climate is changing and they've bumped up to April.
 

Hands Off!

Cindy and I took to the streets in support of the Hands Off! national protest yesterday. We joined the group at Mill Creek Park. Reminded me of 50 years ago but thankfully many of the demonstrators weren't alive then so we're not the only age fighting back. One of the Easter bunnies joined in.

 

Tax Preparation Assistance

Stacy is again working as a volunteer tax preparer through VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) in Kansas City, KS. I visited her at Avenue of Life, an organization that helps low-income individuals and families be self-sustained and independent.
 

Secrets of Adulthood

Enjoyed hearing Gretchen Rubin talk about her new book, Secrets of Adulthood, at Unity Temple. She was quite engaging talking about the book, which while small is packed with aphorisms for living.
 

Mom and Dad's Easter Finery

They looked pretty spiffy on Easter in 1957.

 

In the Shop

Colin had to work on his car in the repair shop at the indoor playground.
 

My Prize

I received this fun mug for completing the winter reading challenge at Mid-Continent Library.
