April 16 and it’s snowing like a banshee! After a lame attempt at shovelling the heavy wet stuff, I returned to my new occupation—making masks. My trusty Bernina sewing machine gave up the ghost and spent a few days in the sewing machine hospital before returning as good as new. I have been given so many scraps of material that I will never be able to use them all. The donors seemed so happy to be rid of their scraps that I may have to find some new uses for these leftovers.
I have permission from my grandkids, now hanging out with their parents in Fort Collins, to share a bit of their at home recent creativity.
Abby is 26 and will attend graduate school at Columbia University to study Latin American language and culture this fall.
There once was a girl very fine
Who said, the future – it’s mine!
She applied to grad school
And felt quite the fool
It seems it will all be online!
Henry is 24 and coming down the home stretch majoring in oceanography and GIS at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He’s a food lover and made us a great dinner the other night.
There once was a man from the West
Who put his body to the test
He ate a whole pot of chili
Then felt rather silly
And decided he’d best get some rest.
Mason is 22 and a junior at Middlebury College in Vermont majoring in Spanish and economics. He spent a semester in Chile and had planned to be in Cuba for spring but….
There was once was a young Matey-Moo
Who thought, one year abroad, I’ll make it through!
In Chile he found
He was mostly house-bound
And that is his current fate too.
