Her First Exhibition
Grace also entered an artwork in the Community Art Project. Her drawing of the Tooth Fairy is hanging in Carrboro Town Hall. I guess she can now add this show to her CV.
Update:My Hubcap is in the Chapel Hill Public Library. I went to look for it the other day, and couldn’t find it on the main hall downstairs when the art shows usually are. It turns out it is in the most prominent spot in the lobby of the library. What a kick!

I Love You More Than Hot Dogs
by Peter (inspired by Jack Prelutsky and his poem)
I love you more than hot dogs,
Than toothpaste and purple peas,
Than very cold showers and very dead flowers,
And big fat fleas.
I love you more than soda,
And good gooseberry pies,
Than buttery popcorn and lemon-lime airborne,
And glasses for my eyes.
I love you more than notebooks,
Than juicy roast beef on toast,
Oh, I love ties of any size,
But I love YOU the most!

She Writes the Songs
Grace is going to have a band, and their name will be the Carolina Band. She will write the words to the songs, because she knows the words to the songs. But someone will have to help her with the spelling of some of the words.
More Water than Coffee, Beer and Milk
From the News & Observer:
Bottled water sales have increased about 10 percent a year for a decade, and two years ago they passed sales of coffee, beer and milk in the volume that Americans buy annually, said Gary Hemphill, managing director of Beverage Marketing Corp., a research firm that focuses on the beverage industry.
On a car in Chapel Hill
I saw a bumpersticker that read:

Taxes Done
Woo-hoo! I finished my taxes and we are getting a bunch of money back from the government. I guess it was our money to begin with, so we really are just getting it back.
TurboTax makes it so easy, especially when transfering info from the previous year, that I was able to do my taxes sitting on the living room coach. Occassionally, I had to get something from my desk, but mostly I just had to find info in Quicken.
Last year we bought iPods. Wonder what we’ll get this year?
Peter Driving?
As Peter approaches his 8th birthday, he reminded me that he is halfway to driving. Yikes!
Out of the Mouth of Grace
Tonight after her shower:
“My legs are wet. Hey, I’m growing hair on my legs. All I have is hair and goosebumps. Hey, get the shaver!”
