Hope you will be able to spend some time with us soon.

I think I'm getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. LOL!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Mayor.

Thank you for bringing coffee and our Daily Bread this morning.

Both were appreciated.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, A-G.

Thank you for your kind words.

Hope you had a terrific Tuesday. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

It seems that you have been in that tunnel for at least 6 weeks. 'Bout time you see some light. :)

The Slate

To teach someone else is to be a scribewright,
Awakening knowledge and childish delight.
Forming the letters, and making the sounds
And later we’ll learn about verbs and pronouns.

For now we’ll attend to this ancient rite,
We’ll practice, and scribble, and then we’ll recite.
The learning is fun as a new thing can be,
A secret code leading to literacy.

There’s patience required when learning to write,
Tiny fingers discover chalk puts up a fight.
The teacher must also control her sweet charm,
For the sake of the student who’s attached to her arm.

There’s only one way to get everthing right,
Every sound has a symbol we can hear at its sight,
And soon the young maiden will craft her own thought,
And she’ll thank her dear teacher with what she’s been taught.

Thanks for reminding me I too, need to use spellcheck "to get everthing right!"

Happy birthday, Jack Deth.

Best wishes from Amy's Place.

Have a beautiful day!

[JustAmy]

LOL

I read that the way it wasn't written.

Thanks for this wonderful poem; it is definitely worth repeating.

[Jack Deth]

Thanks so much, Amy!

Amy picked me up and snuggled me in this basket.
Scrunched me down under the Teddy Bear, hat and flowers
For what seemed like hours.
Before being delivered to someone named Jack.

Amy says he's quite the kittie poet.
With a last name of Deth, you'd hardly know it.
But if Amy says it's Okay, I'll be up to the task.
I hope he has a window ledge where I can lay and bask!

I'm wiggling up now, slow and quiet.
The flowers' scent a delicious riot.
Sliding up almost under the hat, beguiling.
Well, what do you know? Jack is smiling!
