Mom and Me

Hannah still seems to be doing well. I go volunteer in her class sometimes. The last time I was there, they were learning about Poland and they needed to make a poppy field so I helped the kids make their poppies and then they put them in a field out in the hall for International week.

We went to the beach and Hannah discovered the joy of irony. No fishing in the marina? Then what are all those fishing boats for? 3. We also played in the sand. Hannah liked writing with sticks. She didn't seem to mind the colder beach so much. 4. She also discovered the joys of sunbathing. 5. In Monterey they had a wonderful Salvador Dali exhibit. I guess Dali liked Monterey and spent lots of time there and so it was easy to get a collection. Hannah really enjoyed the art, being a trained artist herself from the Lawrence Arts Center Preschool. 6. We did lots of academic work at libraries such as the John Steinbeck library in Salinas. It was a place where lots of transient people came to work. Being homeless ourselves, we fit right in.  7. Academic work...
