Back to School

After a long holiday, a favorite puppy becomes necessary company during math at the kitchen table.

Someone else chooses a warming fire, hopeful that her summer attire sends a clear message to winter weather, like...
"I don't believe you."
















Math follows two hungry girls into the kitchen where little hands design creative patterns with paper muffin cups. They'll taste even better now.

Mom bakes 96 muffins in all, 18 of which are deposited immediately into growling tummies before the rest are carried off to the freezer.

There is NEVER enough time for music.


"Hey, music's my life, kay?"













But there's entirely too much time spent cat napping,

and daydreaming,

and making fun of Nancy.


"Nancy was attracted to both girls and responded to their friendly welcome."
