Safety Fair!

2000, ,

Scott and I finally got to do our Safety Fair project on bike safety. We made a deal that I would do most of the project if he would do the majority of the presentation and interaction with kids. 🙂

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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. 🙂

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.

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