Marina was excited to show us her science project. Stella enjoyed looking at pictures with Grandpa on his computer while Marina got set up to give her presentation:
Marina did her speech and demonstration. And then we got to see the final result...she held up an ice cube with a little matchstick. I don’t remember the scientific reason that this works, but at the time she explained it quite well. We were all amazed!
Stella brought over her very favorite “ever” backpack. She was upset because it had torn and was unusable. I explained how she could sew and patch it up. Stella determinedly set work with the sewing machine and proudly fixed her pack. We were quite proud of her.
The girls still like to sit with me and have me read to them. So I got to read them my very favorite children’s book about the Lupine Lady. She travels all over the world and has lots of adventures, but as she gets older she remembers what she had been told as a child...to make the world a little bit better. So as she takes walks she flings lupine seeds in all the fields and in springtime the whole countryside is blossoming.
It is a beautiful book and story. Marina and Stella have a bit of the Lupine Lady in them and make our world more beautiful, as all our grandchildren do.
