Well, here I am on a Sunday afternoon reading the New York Times and waiting for the arrival of Kimberley, my granddaughter. She is a sweetie!! When I see her I remind myself of how lucky I am to have her although the time of arrival changes minute by minute. A million things can keep her. Traffic and breakfast with the boyfriend are most paramount. We will be able to hike, and I am glad for that.
I taught Sunday School this morning as a sub. My one student is a charmer finishing up his year as a freshman in high school. We had a grand time ending up writing a poem about Moses leading the Israelites to the promised land. Even mentioned all the challenges they had to meet. At the end I really thought we had a great session

Will She Make It?
Today was my last day at the middle school where I have been volunteering in the 7th grade--to help students with their writing. Sometimes I think they could help me more. The twelve year old I helped today revealed a lot about herself. She spoke so lovingly about both her mother and father, telling me that they told her to hold on to her dreams and always realize that no one can judge except God. She accepted all of that and certainly showed that she was her own self. She plans to live in New York City after she graduates from college. I just hope her dreams come true. The newspapers inform us that income determines your success in school and afterwards, not race or whatever. Sometimes I feel so helpless in the little I do.
