In Memory of Trevor
Thinking today of all the veterans in our family - Dad, both Grandfathers, Uncle Don, Uncle Jim.
Thinking we ought to have Mother's cousin Trevor Endsley still here, telling jokes and enjoying life. But his plane went down in WWII. I hope we will always count the cost before sending young people off to war.

Hopscotch - Lessons Learned
Taught the neighborhood kids how to play hopscotch - of course they caught on right away!
We didnt get as far as how to throw your small stone onto a particular number. They just followed me on the 1, 2-3, 4, 5-6, 7, 8-9 10 with great glee. I left them streaming across the colored chalk grid.
They were so enchanted I didnt have the heart to explain to them they were "supposed" to turn around and go backwards also and they "should" use small stones.
We all won this game.
