GRACIE, THE WONDER KID
No, she's not mine, but I get to enjoy her, then send her back

Went to the fresh market and the vendors fed me sweet mellons.

Then off to the POA park to throw sticks and rocks into the water

Then to the east end to throw more rocks and climb a mountain of sand.
Notice the rock still in the air after the throw->
<-And
again. Not much better->
Where is this mountain->

Then to Salt Creek Park to experience white-knuckle swinging, and spitting off
the bike path bridge.

problem child.

Maybe Gracie thinks it was just a bad dream->

I'm not going to help fold clothes, and I'm not going to smile
