1 Bridge St.: May 2008 Archives

Things were relatively quiet for the Wallace household during the winter. Mary was promoted to Fact Checker.

The children both excelled at school, each coming home with an A+. Perhaps if Mary gets another promotion she can afford private school for the children.

David Wallace star student.

Jennifer also received an A+.

Mary and Jennifer helped David celebrate his birthday. David was anxious to start high school and didn't want to have a party. Mary baked him his favorite cake anyway.

He's already asked Mary for a weight bench and a cell phone. Mary knows dating is just around the corner.

David practices flexing his biceps.

Funny how there were never any leftovers even though everyone professed not to want any.

Snoopy was promoted to Stunt Double.

Mary Wallace found this small 3 bedroom house on Bridge St. It had a modest yard for Snoopy and was close to the park.

Although very fond of Snoopy, she was concerned about him living in the house with the twins. The clerk at Banquo's Pets assured Mary this house was just right for a beagle.

It seems Mary's concerns about his having the run of the house were not unwarranted.

Bad Snoopy!

Snoopy acts out whenever he wants attention.

Snoopy acts out a lot.

Some of Mary's neighbors dropped by to welcome them to the neighborhood. Seated next to Mary, in the leather bomber jacket, is Ronald Duncan. Next to Ronald, is Maria Macbeth, who lives across the street. And to Mary's right, in the white and red shirt, is Jerald Miles head of the Stratfordshire Garden Club.

They are pleased to have a movie reviewer again as the town hasn't had a movie reviewer since Mrs. Gates retired last Summer.

Snoopy was hired as an extra in the next Adventures of Spot movie.

Even though he can be a handful, he's a wonderful playmate for the twins.

Snoopy and Jennifer always seem to be playing together.

Mary had a very busy Fall. Feeding, entertaining, and potty training the twins was more than she could handle alone.

So, on the advice of her boss, she hired a Nanny for the children. Elaine Bridges took care of David and Jennifer while Mary went to work. She even did some light chores around the house.

In late Fall, the twins celebrated their birthday. With Elaine's help, Mary baked them each a chocolate cake. Needless to say, there wasn't much sleeping at the Wallace house that night.

Jennifer has her mother's red hair and her father's grey eyes.

Mary worked hard in her journalism career. First she was promoted to Blog Writer. And later that Fall, she received another promotion, to Internet Movie Critic.

She was never too tired from work to help the twins with their studies.

She wants both her children to study hard and maybe one day attend the Royal Shakespeare College on scholarship.

David tells his mother he wants to be a Natural Scientist. Mary tells him deciding his life's ambition is still a little ways off.
