Paragraph: 4-6: A detailed description of our squeamish introduction to fishing, including our savage attack of a worm.
Paragraph 7-8: Safari Sams with Grama. I finish painting. We swim at YMCA, get Burgerville shakes and onion rings, and spend two hours putting up window blind hardware.
Paragraph 9: Berry picking. In the rain. Played basketball at YMCA and got a cookie.
Paragraph 10-11: Susan makes her flight after being stuck in traffic. The kids and I get bread and cupcakes in Portland, then sit in traffic. I waste $30 taking the kids out to Thai food which they hardly ate because they asked for it and I thought it was cute.
