Gracie Woman Decade

Clara Grace turned 10 today! She loves to laugh and play with Petey. I'm teaching her to be a Beatles expert. Happy birthday Gracie Woman!!

Deep Purple's Newest Disciple

Clara Grace ran for West Hills Elementary Student Body Treasurer. Each candidate had two minutes to make their case and Clara Grace wanted to play the guitar and write her own song. The only guitar we had time to teach her was Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. You know, the classic one string version played by everyone from Clara Grace to Stevie Ray Vaughn. (OK, maybe not SRV.)

vote for Clara Grace.

Gracie ran a on a strict monetarist economic platform. Unfortunately, she was defeated by a Keynesian socialist 4Th grader.
