This done, on Thursday, the first true teacher shopping day, Ben and I took the car to stop 37 in lot P6 and headed cross country. Once there we were served hummus as Dan and Ben checked out the grapes and Sylvia tried to open her eyes before suggesting that we check out the local playground. Once there Ben went up the ramp down the corkscrew and finally settled for the swinging thing where he made a trip across before climbing up and through the spider web on the way back to the apartment. After looking from two directions at the Albertson's pickets, we decided it was time to take photos of the liquids as Ben installed the new bell in the collection and we sat down to soup bread and butter kugel and Grandma's famous meatballs while I had an enchilada and Ben's survey led to conversation with Dan before he completed it.
