Donna and Lincoln came home from school the end of March for a four-week break. The day of their return the family soccer tradition was continued; Lincoln and Bob against Graham and Donna. Donna’s endurance was an unknown factor since we had not seen her at full strength for some time. I am happy to report she started strong and finished strong. Only the older player was seen to suffer from the effects of the game.
We have had a good break. Donna likes to keep busy. She baked bread, cookies and other assorted items. She also made up the missed work in her government class. She wrote a paper comparing the political systems of Russia, France, China and Kenya. She was disappointed in her grades last term since she did not manage to maintain an A average and had to settle with some B’s. What was a major tribulation in our lives (parents) in her mind still seems like a small inconvenience. We told her we are more than happy with a couple of B’s.
