Gift #307- Berta


This is Berta.  Berta is my neighbor.  She was one of my very first friends here.  We talked one afternoon on the street corner and she said to me "hey, I like you.  We should be friends."  And that was that.  The very next day when I saw her, she called me "Ames"- like we had known each other our entire lives.  I wish that it was always that easy to make friends.  Berta moves away on Saturday.  I will be very sad to see her go.  But I will take the advice of the late great Dr. Seuss-
 
“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” 

Gift #306- Bringing Home the Bacon!



Josh started his new job today!  He has his very own paper route.  He delivers the newspapers around our neighborhood on his skateboard!  We are proud of you Josh!

Gift #305- My Little Student of the Month



Sam was chosen as student of the month for June.  He was chosen for his good citizenship.  This made me smile.  Sam might try to skirt a rule or two and I might just find him sneaking over to the mid-rise apartments to buy a soda from the vending machine, and he might forget to wear his bike helmet from time to time, but he tries so very hard to be a good little citizen.  Dad and I are so proud of you Sam.
