The Photo Project

This being a Thursday and all, I didn't exactly have a heavy day at work. Johnnie was still being held out of school, hopefully for the last day. But I did manage to focus on a project of his. He was supposed to collect photos to make a collage. From the way his teacher described it, it was sort of to help him think of stuff to write about, so he can write about himself and communicate to his classmates. Writing prompts such as it were. At first I had collected pics that I had of Johnnie's activities. Soccer. Tennis at Lisa's garage. High-kicking off the trampoline. Karate class. And then I collected those of the people he is in contact with. His brothers of course. Brooklyn of course. I wanted to get one of Kavena and Makahinu but I didn't have any pictures from their latest Hawaii trip. That was what Lisa was working on last Monday. And supposedly, she had 5 or 6 pictures she was supposed to give me. At lunchtime, she actually called to check in and I sent her the email address at Staples to make it see. All she had to do was mail the pics to the address and I print them. Johnnie and I did 2 trips to Staples today actually, specifically just to print the pictures. What are you going to bet Lisa will get not get it right? Like send them really large sizes. I didn't really think much of it, we can still figure out a way to print them later on when she picks up Johnnie. In the meantime, Johnnie and I were still hanging out, getting fried chicken at lunch, getting Panda Express dinner early. It was all good for a Thursday. And we ended up collecting a good 25 pictures for his project. I put in one picture of Johnnie and I. None of Lisa and Johnnie. Mainly because I don't have any of those from later than when I still was at the Maplewood house. Quietly by the way, Monday was the anniversary of the move to the Maplewood house. Which was not a happy memory at all. Not for me anyway.
