Woodwright

With tuppence for paper and strings

You can have your own set of wings

With your feet on the ground

You're a bird in flight

With your fist holding tight

To the string of your kite

Charlie got a kite from a classmate for her birthday. She's wanted a kite for years. It's one of those things that popped up right after a time when gifts were given and never mentioned again so that when gift giving time came around again, no kite. It's just one of those weird things. Really, for all the talk about kites and the length of time it took her to get one, you'd think we were staunchly anti-kite and, that's just crazy. I doubt the Amish are even anti-kite (it's late and I'm not going to google that).

She did well.

 But there were some obstacles.

 Asher got bored.

But, in the end, it was a great time.
