were voracious about reading their own work compiled in the 2013 Young Authors Anthology sponsored by the Metro Mobile Reading Council.
These kids were attentive and sincere about wanting to become better writers.
The made galimotos and wrote poems about them.
And a little history too.
Lots of food: Think gumbo, fried crab claws, fried ochre, hushpuppies, fried green tomatoes, oysters, clams, shrimp, red beans and rice, Indies crab salad and a mufuletta sandwich.
And they catch a lot of oysters in Mobile.
And shrimp.
Got Beach? Oh yeah...and plenty of shells. Not enough pockets.
Just missed Mardi Gras:
And even if we did not see any gators
We did see some dolphins, some pretty big turtles and beautiful cormorants.
Thanks to a whole lot of dedicated volunteers, teachers, parents, librarians, students and community organizations donating time and money. You go Mobile!
