It's interesting because for a while now I've been playing around with a poem about the opposite hour -- 4:00am-5:00am -- which is neither night nor day. -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/Mrs. Wymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601071678011498746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-90811828226272990932017-10-08T20:53:55.649-06:002017-10-08T20:53:55.649-06:00Well, clearly I was busy this weekend.

It was a fun weekend filled with reading and museum visits and PLAY. Laura, I've forgotten about Hellman's play, will have to look up the synopsis at least to remind me. I remember a terrible sadness.

I am sure your Highlights Workshop will offer much opportunity to reflect and write along with colleagues. As for the poem, I can't wait for my little Sierra to devour me with kisses.

I've been lucky to be in Portland with Sara and Will the past few days while she attended a medical conference. And we've read books. Jack loves to read the same book over and over and over. And I've enjoyed every smile and giggle and nuzzle!

I know that many are saying goodbyes to their own children growing up. One poem is about a son driving, a son on his way to adulthood.
