Enjoyed your poem.<br /><br />At Wild Rose Reader, I have a favorite poem by Naomi Shihab Nye: "What Is Supposed to Happen." It was brought to mind yesterday--my older granddaughter's last day of preschool--as I watched her play with friends at an end-of-the-school-year picnic.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-56344566650013397672017-06-09T09:59:31.155-04:002017-06-09T09:59:31.155-04:00Hi, Mary Lee!

This is how I feel about playing Scrabble over the internet with my Dad! I swear I can see his mind working on the board, even though we are miles and miles apart. <br /><br />My Poetry Friday post today is a delayed posting of my Golden Shovel, which my Poetry Sisters did last week. (I was traveling, but it was also general procrastination!) In any case, I'm finally up with my poem, and sighing because my sisters all did it SUCH justice and I feel late to the party....<br /><br />http://saralewisholmes.blogspot.com/2017/06/poetry-friday-growing-golden-shovel.htmlSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-87701424356678308862017-06-09T09:50:16.959-04:002017-06-09T09:50:16.959-04:00That is quite some game of checkers you describe b...That is quite some game of checkers you describe beautifully!
