Even old people do it. Texting! Seated so close to each other, you would think they could just talk.

The Meaning of Life
Trust, love and an afternoon nap. That’s all there is to it.
New Face at the Soda Fountain

Ali O’Connell of Wichita Falls, TX, is the new face at Lipka’s vintage soda fountain in Montague, MI. Every year about this time she travels to Michigan to spend a month or so with her grandmother. (What a sweet young lady. I can’t get my grand kids to visit more than a couple days, if they come at all.) This summer she elected to work part-time while she’s in town and will be dipping ice cream six afternoons each week until the end of June.
Ali will be a high school senior in Wichita Falls next fall. While she plans to attend college, she hasn’t yet decided just where. Her goal is to teach little kids in elementary school. In the meantime, she spends much of her time volunteering and she’s proud to say she has accrued more than 300 hours of community service, primarily at the local hospital – where she also serves ice cream – but she volunteers for other community projects as well.
When at home, if she’s not practicing with the high school cheer-leading team she plays golf and “just hangs with family and friends.”
Artist gets “touched-up” by his own Illustration
Three Mexican artists demonstrated their skills in Mission, Texas last February 14 on the street outside the Mission Historical Museum. Unfortunately, the spectacular chalk sketches lasted only a few days before being worn away by wind and traffic.
Shoe Shine Boy
Even though I was wearing hiking boots and not in the market for a shine, Shoe Shine Boy wanted me to take his picture. He approached us in the Plaza at Nuevo Progreso, Mexico, yesterday afternoon. It was extremely warm in the sun and he had apparently been working the streets all day. He seemed glad to take a break in the shade.
