My name is Cody. This is Jo. This is our pup, Tony. He is ten weeks old. 2


1/18/07 11:58:18 AM

Tony can do neat tricks. If I hold a treat, he tries to get it.

3


1/18/07 11:58:47 AM

If Jo says, “Roll over, boy!” he does. Tony is fun, but sometimes he plays a game we don’t like.

4


1/18/07 11:59:06 AM

The moment someone opens the gate, he escapes. “Come, Tony!” we scold. He runs in circles. 5


1/18/07 11:59:33 AM

He lets us get so close, then ZIP! He runs away again! Tony can play this game forever. 6


1/18/07 11:59:54 AM

So we hold our faces and pretend to sob. Tony thinks, “Oh, no! Don’t be sad, Jo and Cody!”

7


1/18/07 12:00:23 PM

Just like that, the game is over. Tony lets us hold him, and we all go inside. 8

One day, Dad and I came across an old chest in the attic. Inside were items that belonged to Dad when he was a child.

10


1/18/07 12:01:23 PM

“Look at this tiny ball!” said Dad. “I liked to bounce it up and down all over the place.” 11


1/18/07 12:01:29 PM

“Wow! This is my spider story! I did it when I was nine.”

12


1/18/07 12:01:31 PM

“This is a blindfold,” Dad explained. “I’d put it on to play games at parties.”

13


1/18/07 12:01:35 PM

“This is a stuffed tiger that I was luck y to find. It reminds me of a wild tiger. I had so much fun playing with it!”

14


1/22/07 1:44:14 PM

“Do you wish you were a child again, Dad?” I asked. He was silent for a moment.

15


1/22/07 1:44:16 PM

Then he said, “Sometimes I do. That was a neat time. When I tell you about it, I can be there again.”

Di gets up first thing in the morning. She puts her shirt and jeans on. She has lots of work to do in her garden.

18


1/22/07 1:44:26 PM

Di waits for the sun to rise. It seems like the day will be sunny and mild. She puts her big hat on to block the sun’s rays. 19


1/22/07 1:44:31 PM

Di needs to weed. She finds long wild vines around her plants. She tugs away.

20


1/22/07 1:44:37 PM

Di finds a tiny spider in its web. “Hi, little one,” Di whispers. “I like you. You can stay!” 21


1/30/07 6:47:28 PM

“Time to pick peppers,” Di says. Some are mild and some are spicy. Di likes both kinds.

22


1/30/07 6:47:39 PM

Mother likes to chop the peppers into her stew. Di will help her stir the pot. Mother will remind Di to be safe. 23


1/22/07 1:45:00 PM

Di finds a spot to sit down. She rests. She likes to work in her garden, but she likes to relax, too!
