Saturday mornings are great for going to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I like to go to other places too. I like to go to Maghin and Austain’s house. On Saturday mornings I like to have something to eat. My favorite restront is Il Fornello. I like to eat two pieces of pizza.
I like to go to out with my mom and dad and have fun. Saturday mornings are great!

(An aside about pizza at Il Fornello: The whole family had had mild stomach bugs the last couple of weeks of summer. (Yes, that’s foreshadowing.) On Sunday the 2nd we went to Fornello for dinner to celebrate the end of summer. Jon wolfed his usual adult-size pizza with his usual satisfied gusto; then started looking sick, and upchucked the entire meal all over his plate. Props to Fornello Danforth’s staff for their quick reactions. Poor Jon!)
