 Sam with Miss Joetta
in his Head Start classroom!
My Sissy, Pepper Meulendyk, and me!


                     These pictures are posted in reverse order!  Sam had asked us for several days
                 why there was a grocery cart on the corner, and why someone didn't take care of it.
                 So, one day I pulled into the parking lot, and Bonnie walked him to the cart, and
                 he wheeled it back to the grocery store, and put it in the cart corral.  When we ask
"why doesn't someone do something?"  We might have to say, "I'll do it!"
