A Cerney Periodical

 Grandpa Omaha has a marvelous new toy that we have lovingly named the "Gypsy Wagon" - a fabulous 80's camper van. We do an annual camping/disc golf trip to Michigan and now the Omaha G-rents can escort us in style!  First up, Flip City Disc Golf course. Flip City is quite possibly our favorite family disc golf destination course. They are known for the numerous rock stacks the patrons of the course build along the way. Carrots for power up.  Brock seems to be impersonating the frequent rock piles that Flip City is known for. Alice defends us from a wayward rapscallion a-loose in the moor.

I said, "Art" (which is his favorite) and he stopped in his tracks and said, "you mean I get to go to art, in the ART ROOM?". I almost started crying.  And now the big event, Miss Alice and the first day of pre-school. We have been prepping her for this for a long time, and it had not been going well. I checked out lots of books (that she did ask to read often), watched some Daniel Tiger, and by her teacher's suggestion, lurked outside the windows of class to watch what the day was like.
