The Nursing Home Gig

Isaiah and Mim had the March birthday program at the nursing home today.
They sang three songs together and told some jokes.
Then Isaiah recited a poem and played the piano.
After that, they went around the circle and visited with a few of the residents, before
partaking of the St. Patricks' Day cake.
Of course Grandma had to film it. Here are a few clips.

Big Plans

"So do you have big plans for spring break?"
That's the prevailing question from my students and I answer "Yes".

I'm going to...
Clear out the last of the autumn leaves
that crowd my daffodils,
Catch up on grading papers--
yes, everything I assigned.
Launder the winter clothes,
pack them away, and store them in the attic
Do the income tax and e-file it,
for myself and a daughter of mine
Watch my grandchildren in their first
gig at the local nursing home
Visit my parents in real life, instead of just  "online".

Is that big enough?
I think it's rather large compared with all those itty bitty ski trip plans so many people have.
