End of Summer 2007

Time for Mom to go home to Massachusetts. I tell her, "Meg's summer camp is over for another year." But it is sad to say goodbye to Mom and to summer. I will miss you both. See the little sweetheart Mom made for me as a parting gift! Too adorable! I think this is a beautiful pic of Dorothy at 87 and I am sure Dad is watching from heaven. You would never know what courage she has as she struggles with deafness, very bad eyesight and diabetes. I don't know how she does all she does . . . I am proud of my mother.

Teddy Bears Three

Dorothy Knitting

from Knitted Things by Karla Kuskin

There was a witch who knitted things:

Elephants and playground swings.

She knitted rain,

She knitted night,

But nothing really came out right.

The elephants had just one tusk

And night looked more

Like dawn or dusk.
