Babs and Black-Eye

Last week, Alex spent an afternoon and part of the evening with friends at Eastwood City. Movie, dinner… It was a despedida affair for a classmate whose family is migrating to Canada. She said they had fun — but the surprising thing was how she remembered her father and me through all that fun (sweet, isn’t she?). She came home with a huge bag that contained two stuffed toys. The piglet is for Speedy and me; the dog is for herself. In perfect Sam tradition (Sam has always named ALL her stuffed toys from the very first day she could talk), we named the piglet Babs (short for baboy). I don’t know what name Alex gave her black-eyed dog.
