Dear Family: Last night for enrichment we had a woman come and recite some poetry and tell of the life of

Edna St. Vincent Millay. There was magic in the room as lyrics of beauty filled the air. Here is a piece I found

on the net today.


   Ah, could I lay me down in this long grass
   And close my eyes, and let the quiet wind
   Blow over me,-I am so tired, so tired
   Of passing pleasant places! All my life,
   Following Care along the dusty road,
   Have I looked back at loveliness and sighed;
   Yet at my hand an unrelenting hand
   Tugged ever, and I passed. All my life long
   Over my shoulder have I looked at peace;
   And now I fain would lie in this long grass
   And close my eyes.

Now, as a change of pace ...CONGRATULATIONS! to Danny. I enjoyed checking out your new place of employment and it looks like quite the opportunity. We are so happy for you.

My love to you dear ones...be safe and floss. mom xox
