Dorothy at choir!

 

The Sunday Funny

I needed a block of time to book our flights for the holidays in Chicago.  I asked Dorothy to give me some time to do work at the computer for Christmas, so would she please do her homework and not interrupt me.  "Oh!" she said excitedly, "is it something I can't know about?"

Dorothy had her 10-year-old check-up, and the doctor is moving to a new building next month. So, Dorothy took pictures of the illustrated walls we've been looking at for a decade.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy referred to the MLB, professional baseball, as "official baseball."

Dorothy mentioned a girl in her choir named Dream.  "Dream," I said.  "That's an unusual name."  "Why?" Dorothy asked.  "I know several kids named Hope."

Dorothy wanted to play under the carport and I needed to back-up my car.  "Will you drive your car backwards?" she asked.

Dorothy has a knack for string art, it turns out

 

"Take a picture of me."

As tall as her piano teacher, Gigi
