Mica and I went to the BYU bookstore in Provo before her fall semester started. Her favorite stop? The textbook section of course! We found books on writing and world history along with
insects and Aural Rehabilitation and Ancient Greece to
Viscous Fluid Flow and King Arthur and Leaves of Grass, 1860 by Walt Whitman.
We couldn't go without a stop at the candy shop for some sour watermelons, gummy worms, gummy raspberries, gummy grapefruit slices and an assortment of fudge including Italian cream, rocky road, German chocolate. and caramel pecan.
Later in the fall Mica left this note for me over the pile of dishes taking up room in both sides of the kitchen sink. It reads:"Mama Llama- I dirtied most of these dishes, so
please let me do them when I get home from work. I know you have the strength within you to leave them alone. I believe in you." Aaaahhhh.... proof that the little fledglings can leave the nest and come back and still take care of themselves and their dishes even after they return to the nest.
And finally we have the summer science experiment also done by Mica. We were intrigued by the different colors of mold that all grew on the one dish of raspberry/rhubarb cobbler. We never intended to not finish it-it just got buried and forgotten under papers on the table until it had passed the point of safe consumption. By then Mica wanted to see what would happen so we took it out (covered) to spend some time out in the summer air on the back patio. This was the result after a couple of weeks.
