Walking Bernie is lots of fun, Kioni says, "Just like mommy." When she was pushing Bernie around in this mini stroller. (I push Kioni's stroller.) Bernie is Meme's puppy toy, she used to lick Bernie and took care of him like her own puppy, though Meme never had puppies of her own. It is still cold in Chicago, it is going to snow again in a few days. March is here, but spring is not. She is all bundled up, but still her face was quite chilled after walking for 15 minutes.
