Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 25, 2021

I heard that they are related to shrimp

It’s okay Gramma. There’re just in suspended animation. You can pick them out.

There’s “pill bugs” again. Are they, roly-polys and potato bugs the same?!

I know! I’ve never heard of them and now two in one week? The pill bugs and Roly Polys are the same, but not potato bugs, though they look similar.

I wondered what she meant by “suspended animation”.

I’d be more worried about the lake at the end of the driveway

She knows how to enjoy life…..

I doubt those roly poly bugs will survive!

I miss the more “current day” strips where the family had “matured” before Jan Eliot decided she needed to retire.

Even hubby and my day is different, we are celebrating 40 year anniversary, plus activities sister/husband joining us.

Might improve the stuff.

I have heard it said pill bugs are edible.

I was wondering what she meant by suspended animation :)
