Too Cool For School

Yeah, these kids are cool. They wear sunglasses indoors and eat sandwiches with the crusts cut off. That's cool. They kick back in vintage Osh Kosh B'Gosh and hide cheeky smiles behind chubby fingers. Cool, cool, cool. They mix cool potions and make swamp lands for dino toys to leave their tracks in. They lick icy cool Popsicles and dip their heels into the pools in the backyards of their truly cool friends. They sprinkle cool on their cereal and eat it for breakfast.

Moments to Live By

It's July, but it's only barely summer. Mornings can be cloudy, afternoons uncomfortably hot. It goes to show you never can tell what the day will hold. The Riouxs have a saying: When life blows you raspberries, pop them in your mouth. Or put them in your drink and propose a toast to the sweetness of having someone to clink your glass with. If they're sour, squish up your face and reach for another off the bush. Hold the ripe ones on your tongue.
