On a sunny afternoon earlier this summer, little granddaughter happily enjoyed a walk with her Ma-Maw and Pa-Paw, two dolls and two unicorns.

I have just enough time to quickly change into some play clothes! I'm going to wear my new blue pencil skirt and a fun summer top....and BLUE PEARLS, y'all! |

and soak up some sunshine!----but not TOO MUCH sunshine, 1959 barbies don't need any WRINKLES! Have to take care of my youthful complexion... |
I point out interesting windows and bricks as we walk, and we look at pretty flowers and gates.
We pause to pet a friendly kitty-cat, talk to a nice dog or person, and look at boats out in the harbour.

Kitty cat way down the alley |
The pelicans are beginning their evening "swoop"....gracefully soaring above the waves, back and forth, back and forth... searching for their dinner.
