I somehow forgot to include that Kina and Laurea also stumbled across a parade of astronauts (or was it astronauts in a non-astronaut parade?) in McCarren Park and were given a gift of moon rocks. It was, by all accounts, a bountiful Mommy-Daughter time.

The Cheese Rock is fine.

Today’s Parade apparently depicts a dream in which Mommy was a worm and we all had roses in our hair and floated around. I am sure that recent readers have but one question on their minds, and the answer is: no, I do not know if the dream was real. Now that is has been painted, it is real for me, and that’s enough.
