Beverly Cleary Walk

Peter, Kathy & I went on a long walk on Monday, over 7 miles! The walk took us on a tour of the neighborhood where children's author Beverly Cleary grew up and based most of her books on. We also walked by the high school where the music teacher, which the film Mr. Holland's Opus is based on, taught. Thankfully there was no rain the whole time, what luck.

This house had nothing to do with Beverly Cleary, it was just crazy. Talk about going overboard on the statuaries and lawn ornaments.


Here is a cool sculpture we found along our walk. It's worth enlarging this picture to get a good look at all of the different objects used to create this three-headed goat creature.
Here's my only Beverly Cleary related picture: Ramona's in the center, Ribsy, the dog, on the right, and Henry Huggins on the left.
