On the next day, May 12, I
took pictures of Coe Evans
and Lorrie McGough
from the
housing department.
It was author's tea. In previous years, we went to authors tea
back in 2002 and a few times before the advent of digital
photography.
But, before I could go, I looked out of my office window one day
and saw some of Ben's classmates (on May 11).

Finally, on Thursday May 13, it was time for the main event. Ben
came into frame
and let me past the 5th grade exhibit
to his classroom
where he went in
to see the various foods
including tomato and cheddar sandwiches
cucumber and cottage cheese sandwiches
and peanut butter rollups
that Meredith
had made. After looking at the list of presentations
we admired the wafer pencils
and chocolate chip pan cookie (with a message)
along with the foods
that we didn't bring. We reviewed our food
and Meredith
and more food
before the teacher (Ms. Sanderson)
and Suzanne
suggested that we say hello to Ed and Ryan
and have Ben lead us on a tour
of his work
of the class book
and his page in it
and then of his poem
in the book of poetry.
The kids then began to read their stories in turn

as after one more
it was Ben's turn
and then he gave up the stage
and the stories continued

and we could go but stopped on the way out to record this person
and Ben's artwork
to end a creative day.
