A memoir of Grace “Slick” Joplin

Chapter 1.9 Three Friends

On a beautiful and sunny late fall day Uncle David captured a bird, as the value of the bird was a lot less than that of the lizard we had, even David agreed to sell the Lizard.
“Papas” moved in, “saakee” moved out, and David could now get the bicycle he wanted, not to waist fossil fuels driving around in a taxi.

After mother got some recognition from her book, she was allowed to write some free-lance articles and got paid extra whenever one was printed in the paper.

To thank Uncle Robert for all he had done for the family, she bought him a grill, he had very little income from his paintings but did a lot for the household. That afternoon she made hotdogs on the grill to surprise the boys when they woke up from their afternoon nap.

We went to the Spooky Day Fall Festivals. It started out well, everyone having fun as the crazy Gloria none of us knew before this day, started a wild dance with Uncle David.

Uncle Robert called Cheyenne, she came and as usual the had a great time together. But the weather got worse and worse ending in heavy rain and lightning.
Although Mother insisted he should join us in the taxi, Uncle David took the bike home.

Later than night as everyone was sleeping, a fairy tale beauty knocked on the door – Uncle David woke up and opened - Trick or Treat - Trick or Treat.
