I started the day with a Skype call to my book group to discuss the poet William Stafford.
Carly had to go to graduation this afternoon. So August and I walked along the stream and went to some parks. First, to Madeul Stadium to play in the drinking fountains and play in the sad, unused floor fountain, then, for a few minutes, to a playground in an apartment complex, and finally to a park (Gamnamu) that translates as Persimmon Tree Park. There, we spent most of our time around a drinking fountain. He played in it a bit, watched the water in the drain, and closely watched the bigger kids as they filled water balloons, washed off some fruit (not persimmons), and played around.
We walked back via the main road and went to Home Plus to get a few groceries. We got home around 6, and Carly was home awhile later. We had planned to go to a party on the roof across the way, but August had taken a long but early nap and had been awake since before noon. He stayed up awhile, but did fall to sleep around 8.
Carly and I watched most of The Grand Budapest Hotel. Didn’t finish it, but good so far.
