I am a huge fan of Craigslist. Lea
and Michelle wanted to try beading as a hobby.
I found a bead kit on CL for $10 in Snoqualmie. The seller met us at an Issaquah parking lot
by Costco. After I got home, Lea and
Michelle played all afternoon together like little girls making earrings,
necklaces and bracelets. It was the best
$10 I have spent in a long time. They
both got robbed of their childhood.
Today was a great experience in reliving a much happier healthier
childhood playing like little girls. It
was a far cry from how they were living life a year ago in the thralls of
active addiction.
Michelle made a necklace for her cousin’s daughter that is graduating
high school in two weeks. She was
ecstatic for having the wherewithal to be able to give the girl a nice graduation
gift she made with love and her own two hands.
I talked with Greg while making a healthy meal of bratwurst in marinara
sauce with penne pasta, broccoli, salad, garlic bread and watermelon for
dessert. We said grace and ate
together. That is a lot of “family”
activity for 3 isolators that where always alone no matter how big the crowd
they were with. Today we are no longer
alone.
