TGIF: Grampa's Backyard....and a Poem

Welcome to your spot for celebrating the end of the week!

A few weeks ago we went over to my dad's house for the afternoon. It was a very nice, sunny spring day. The kids played frisbee, AJ climbed a tree and I roamed around taking pictures of all the blooms.

The sunny, pretty family time made me happy, so that's what I want to share today. (Especially because things are quite the opposite as I sit here putting this post together.)

Nothing fancy here. Was just using my phone....

And then this....

Last week in my Fine post I told you about my daughter's end-of-the-year school project all about who she is. She's writing several stories and poems for it. Again, I got her permission to share this. Don't know if anyone else will love it like her mom and dad do, but we sure think it's great!

Who Am I?

A daughter, a sister, a friend

Do other people really know who I am?

To my parents I am their favorite little girl

To my teachers I am a sweet, hard-working student

Always special

Sometimes I am annoying to my little brother

And sometimes I am hard working at my chores

I am parts of my mom

Parts of my dad

Parts of my friends

Parts of my community and parts of the world

I am a sixth grader, but mostly a

teenager, and I admit also a child

Pieces of a puzzle that I think might fit together someday

I am awake, alert and ready to meet my world

To become a nurse, to learn everything I need to know

You may not believe it, but sometimes I am very stubborn

I am also a good listener, a good worker, who tries her best

I am a rememberer, and a forgetter

There are times when I feel like cooking with my dad

When I love spending time with my mom

When I feel totally happy and satisfied

Who Am I?

A daughter, a sister, a friend

And most of all Camryn Rose Hall

She's not actually a teenager yet, will turn 12 next month. I find it interesting that she constantly claims to hate her brother, wish she had a sister instead and wouldn't mind a bit if he were gone, yet "sister" is one of her biggest identifiers. Uh hu, can't fool me, Cami!
