Fair. We planned to take Bobby to Plum point with us, but she got sick just before we were to go. We swam once + walked down. Mother got stung. We picked 11 qts. blackberries. Bobby painted my fingernails (hides blackberry stain) dark pinkish red (her Mother's) Mother wasn't mad!! She doesn't like it, though.
