"Suppy" had been waiting a long time for little Anastasia to be born. This is his story of how every day with Anastasia should go.

Suppy is the author but not the illustrator. Random details seem to change from page to page. But anyway...

One evening a package arrived for Anastasia. Her mommy and daddy and Bella the doggy watched as she opened it. It was a canoe paddle. Anastasia was hoping she could use it real soon.

The next morning, Anastasia woke up and remembered about the paddle. "Do you think I can go canoeing soon?" she thought.

Ding dong! At the door was "Suppy" and he had a green canoe strapped to the top of his car. Today is the day for a paddle!

First though it was time for breakfast. Suppy is very fond of fast food. They drove to McDonalds. As they arrived, Anastasia spotted some men across the street...

Suppy drove closer to the men. They were on strike and they had a big rubber rat with them!

Anastasia thought that being on strike looked pretty interesting, so she made her own sign and walked around.

Suppy gave her a boost so she could give the rat a big hug.

Back at McDonalds, Suppy and Anastasia ordered their food.

The soda fountain had all the important flavors.

The ball pit was flooded but they didn't mind.

Off they drove to the zoo

Anastasia wondered what kind of animals there would be

"Can I ride a moose and there be Tasmanian devils and we feed the giraffes some soda and the cows water ice?" Anastasia wondered

"I hope so" said Suppy and they walked toward the "Smelly Animal House" for story time

At "Story Time", Mike the docent read them "The Lorax"

Mike brought some small animals they could touch

Mike let a turtle crawl on the floor while he read another story to the children.

"I liked story time, Suppy" said Anastasia. Where are we going now? "We have to buy some food for our picnic" said Suppy.

As they drove to the supermarket, Anastasia saw a young woman playing a violin. She played very well.

"Mommy says I'll be getting violin lessons real soon and I'll bet everyone would think I play great!" said Anastasia.

The young woman let Anastasia play her violin. Anastasia needs lessons!

Anastasia thanked the woman and gave her back her violin. Everyone was happy then. Anastasia and Suppy went to the grocery store.

Suppy and Anastasia picked out some hot dogs from the shelf at the grocery store.

Suppy warned Anastasia to sneak past the deli counter without making eye contact with the deli workers.

But it was all in vain! Soon the deli workers threw slice after slice of american cheese for Anastasia.

Anastasia likes cheese.

With all their supplies for the picnic complete, Suppy drove them to the lake shore. Anastasia was all set for some paddling.

"Maybe we'll see a turtle and a cow and some chickens and a moose and a tasmanian devil and a guy selling water ice" thought Anastasia

Suppy and Ansastasia paddled for a while. It was very quiet on the lake.

Soon they got to an island and made a fire. They roasted hot dogs and told stories.

Anastasia loves Coca Cola Zero (R) because it makes her burp loudly. She showed Suppy how loud she could burp. Suppy pondered bringing non-carbonated beverages next time.

It was getting dark by the time they got back to the car. Suppy was proud that he could still lift the canoe at his age.

Suppy invented an easy loading technique for the canoe. Anastasia was impressed.

Suppy lay down on Anastasia's sofa for just a minute and was soon fast asleep. Bella thought he smelled like hot dogs. The end.
