Sometimes, entire times change, and do not have a proper 'book marker'.
I think this one worked out pretty well. For a long time, we have been
having Grandchildren Elora (now 5 y.o.) and Bear (2 y.o.) at our house
every Tuesday and Thursday. This summer one of our 'projects' was
building the toy wooden sailboats. All were about 8' long, 3 1/2' wide,
with keels to keep them upright. They involved wood working and
patience with paint. Last week we had a perfect weather day, with a
fairly regular breeze from the west. We all set out in the pedal boat
to give our sailboats a decent start away from the windbreak of the
dock, and set them off for our final big regatta! The "Yellow Boat" set
off quite purposefully and went all the way east across the lake to far
side lily pads. The red "Ellie Bell 2b" did well, trended more to the
north, and went all the way across to far side cat tails. Sadly, the
green "Bear Boat" took a right turn to go again to neighbor Ken
Packard's waterfront. Oh, Well! Such is a sailboat race! But we had
the big "Culminating Regatta"! And now this week Elora is in school for Kindergarten and patterns have changed.
