Last school day before a long break. Spencer has parties in five of his classes. Matt is coming from a triumph in his little school play, for which he got an A+. “I was the only one who wore a costume!” Drew has a swim meet, and so is excused from school for the day. She goes with me to get some dvds from the library. Then we go for lunch at Zupas. I’m reminded of that little girl I used to walk to school in Scotland. Quiet, still present, always kind of self-sufficient.
