On The Way Home

Everyday now, when we pick tinyMovieStar from school, there’s a set route: playground, ice-cream shop, bookstore, and home. Finally.

Not bad. Today we even got figs and peaches from the lady in the corner.

@maique So good. Like finding an oasis of joy in the desert. Thank you for sharing, Maique.

@cliffordbeshers Thank you, and you’re very welcome, I’m glad she brightens up someone else’s day as well. I don’t share the ones when she’s throwing her little tantrums, so you’ll only get the oasis part… 🤣

@maique Oh, sometimes those are the best, though I've experienced making tantrums worse by lifting a camera. Life in action is what brings the joy, not necessarily the happiness of the subject.

@cliffordbeshers I haven’t even tried that 🙂 I’m afraid I might be beaten up by her mother if i try to get things photographed instead of helping calm the whole thing down.

@maique Nice routine.

@hoppysensei It is! Sometimes, like today, she demands we visit both bookstores we have on the way.

@maique Just think of me as your editor, demanding you send photos from a war zone. You won’t win that Pulitzer if you don’t put your life at risk.

Okay, maybe not. It was worth a try.

@cliffordbeshers Hahahaha… Well played, sir, well played. I’ll keep that in mind when the next tantrum happens. Never mind about the Pulitzer but, if it makes your day, I’ll be happy.

@maique Lovely photos

@jemostrom @pimoore Thank you. It makes me miss being a kid as well, and we’re trying our best to bring her up having fun 🙂 Hopefully she’ll say the same thing when she sees these photos later in life.

@maique Routines are so important to kids and even more so when they’re shared. Thanks for sharing your joy with us😀
