tell their stories.
after sledding on a beautiful snow day
grandies and neighbors
gather around the table
to share a large pot
of ramen, laughs, and stories.

snow day.
“a snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky,
unbidden,
and seems like a thing of wonder.”

flow.
even beneath
the layers of snow and ice
the remnants of winter
not yet spring
the river emerges
never ceasing to flow.

class bakery day
the children worked
very hard
over the last few weeks
learning
about bread
about baking
how sharing bread is a way to welcome others
every culture makes and eats and shares bread
listened to books about bread and baking
practiced ‘baking’ with play-dough
baked real lemon bread at school
baked breads at home
bought breads at the store
made signs and decorated tables
learned about buying and selling using pennies
gave other classes pennies
that they had to ‘earn’ by working in their rooms
invited other classes, faculty, staff, and families
to come to our room for a big bakery event
said they would give pennies or free bread
to anyone who had no money or food
families supported their efforts
making this day so special
everyone went home
very full, very tired, very happy.
the bakery in full swing
“anyone who gives you a cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven is a friend for life.”

quick check-in, not so quick check-out.
during my recent visit to apple
i asked to sign up for a class
where i could ask questions
about my laptop
i was given this card to use to signup
after a quick scroll down and some box checking
i was registered for a weekend class
then
my cold took over
i needed to cancel
i used the card again
thought it would be an easy fix
but the only options i could find
were to confirm i was coming
or
to sign up for another class
i tried to call the store
but no one answered the phone
called the 1-800 number
but it redirected me to cancel
by using the same method i already was using
i decided that when i actually do make it to a class
my first question will be:
“how does someone cancel their attendance at your class?”
