Here’s me with my little cat ears headband on. Look! I’m from Josie and the Pussycats!

When we got back to Gainesville, we visited some shops. I like Books Inc.

At the bookstore

Fred had never had “grits” before, as it is sort of a Southern food. He had ordered some in the restaurant but we didn’t have the camera then. Here’s our memory of his experience with grits.

Fred likes grits

Me in the store with bananas, and a Chiquita sticker on my head!

Ivy likes bananas

At Mother Earth they had these cool cheesecakes. Fred stocked up.

This beautiful pot thing was in my parents’ front yard. I liked it.

Here’s me with a big blow-up bat with which I was preparing to smack Fred, probably.

Here’s Fred riding a bike to the picnic we were going to have.

We had our picnic on a roof; here is me on the wall that is around the outside of the roof.

Lounging on the wall

And here’s me on the wall again, because Fred seems to be camera-happy.

Sitting on the wall

There’s Fred enjoying the food of the picnic.

There’s me, also picnicking.

After lunch we played my game, The Phantom Whistler. On a second-story roof, I whistle and then see if the people on the ground figure out where the sound is coming from.

Whistling at passersby

These are some people we photographed who were walking by while I was whistling. Hehe!

People walking by on the ground

There’s me populating! Another one of my pranks: I made little men out of clay and give them roof-pebble heads, and place them all over the music building in a mini-men invasion.

Fred helped. 🙂

Cooking with Fred

This is the next day. I was playing with a toy where you try to get the heavy thing to swing up and land on the peg. I had just won it here.

Playing with bolero

Here is Fred, exceedingly happy that he had finally managed to win with the toy. 🙂

We went to the store to get some ingredients for our cooking exploits. This is me outside Fred’s car–the one he drove from California to Michigan (school) and later down to Florida to visit me!

I’m putting away the eggs. Thrilling, innit?

We are preparing to cook honey cakes. Here is me with tools of the trade.

I guess I’m preparing the honey here.

Here is Fred cooking up the batter and frying the honey cakes!

Fred developed a hobby of playing my keyboard while at my house. Here is him doing so.

Shopping, Picnicking, and Poetry!

We did silly errands and then shopped at the mall for my sister’s birthday and Mother’s Day.

Big gumball machine

Then we went back to my house and got some picnic food, and we went onto the campus of my school. We got on the roof of the University Auditorium and had a picnic.

Fred and I then frolicked in the music building for a while. I played the piano and stuff and then we went home. I was tired so I napped, I think Fred napped a little bit too. Then we got up and went to the Kotobuki restaurant for Japanese food.

Miso soup

Fred with sushi

Then we went to famous Thursday Night Poetry Jam at the Civic Media Center.

Performing at poetry reading

When we went home we watched the movie Matilda and then went to bed sometime afterwards.

Fred Arrives!

When Fred first got here, we spent a lot of time just flopping around in my room.

Then we just did other silly things around the house.

Then we went to Alley Katz, a cool bowling place with video games and pool tables too.
