My friends and I were always building forts, playhouses, schools etc They took hours of cooperation between 3 or 4 of us (good learning experience there...says the older teacher-me) and once done we would crawl in...look at each other and think...what now. More building!<br />Sue Burpeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282970328494769657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-47435812661058983752014-09-11T19:38:38.633-07:002014-09-11T19:38:38.633-07:00What a lovely picture at the end of a tough day. ...What a lovely picture at the end of a tough day. Just started classes and had to fly to my father's side after he fell and suffered a TBI. Trying to grade papers in the hospital while making plans for further care. How wonderful to think about small people and a beach house instead. <br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-21791347282619285562014-09-11T15:20:15.157-07:002014-09-11T15:20:15.157-07:00What fun it is to build a fort.

School starting certainly keeps you occupied, and a new grandchild and a growing family adds to the number of plates you spin. Perhaps your granddaughter will study architecture. The results of unstructured play are so amazing.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-39456033057901212232014-09-11T10:34:51.730-07:002014-09-11T10:34:51.730-07:00This being BC where housing prices are sky-high, I...This being BC where housing prices are sky-high, I think your granddaughter is EXTRA clever.

I hold onto memories of the July visit from our little grandsons and look at the balls, still in the ponds (thrown in as a goodbye) and the wagon still behind the woodshed. If I lived near you I might be tempted to crawl into that lovely little driftwood hut with a blanket and pillow to nap for an hour or so. <br />These first weeks back must so over-full. Breath in and breath out. Repeat. All will be well, but I am afraid that all will be busy for some time to come!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
