Yesterday we went down to Ryan and Sam's for a little while. When we got there, they were all busy in the yard. Those large, shady trees which made their large yard delightfully cool on the hot summer days are now shedding their leaves. If they could get a cent for every one that drops to the ground on their acre and a half they could pay off their mortgage and with plenty to spare. Fortunately, no one who lives down there is even a little bit lazy, so the hard work and great effort while tending to the watering and grass cutting tasks will now simply be turned to other things, first raking leaves, second cutting firewood, and third shoveling snow. We have all heard the phrase "one eternal round." Well I think no one will argue about that, given the evidence of the seasons.
While we were there Micah came to me and wanted me to go into the house with him. When we were alone inside he said he wanted to show me what he had learned. Accordingly, he went into a recital of some of the British poet, William Wordsworth's, better known lines. I was just astounded and happy to hear him do this. He never hesitated or stumbled. Now remember, he is just six years old and has now barely two months of First Grade behind him. It will be fun to see where he goes and what he does with his life,
Later that evening Ryan called and said the boys wanted to come over to our place and spend the night. We love all of our grandchildren and so we were very happy to have them here.
Micah left me this little note when his dad came over to pick them up the next morning. Needless to say, I was impressed by his Halloween artwork, his penmanship, and it's always good to hear someone expressing gratitude and love to others.
