My favorite spot in downtown Boone is on the grounds of the Jones House Community Center. Eh, the house is nice and all, but truthfully, it is the allure of the mature maple trees which frame the structure that strike me each time I pass by. I savor these trees....
Today is National Mole Day. So yesterday my youngest made a cake celebrating the occasion for her AP Chem class. As she decorated the top of the cake with a critter that looks a bit like this guy she turned her head, rolled her eyes and said,
"You're gonna blog this cake, aren't you?"
Later, she got around to opening a large envelope from a college to which she had recently applied. With only a slightest tone of relief in her voice she said,
"Well, I'm in. I don't have to study so hard for my french test tomorrow." She then paused, looked at me and laughed, "I know you're going to blog that I just said that."
And much later in the evening, after writing a grueling English paper and studying for the dreaded french test, she didn't look at me but quietly posed this question as she sat surrounded by books and papers;
"You're going to miss me next year, right?"
I nodded my head and said,
"And I'm gonna blog about that too."
