Laura Schneider, 3rd grade

Today brought another significant round of hair loss -- how revealing! And, as I continue to have less and less coverage up top, a childhood memory has been unleashed. It's from Miss Finn's 3rd grade class at Courtright Elementary. I'd come home from school anxious over an assignment to write a Valentine's Day poem. Much to my joy, my dad came up with a witty ditty that today is certainly most fitting. It was equally appropriate back then as my hair was cut pretty short.

There once was a girl names *Laura
whose Valentine gave her a Tiara,
but said she in despair,
"If I just had enough hair to spare ya!"


*For the rhyme to work you gotta say my name as it was given to me: Laura sounds like Lar-uh, as in the Christopher Cross song "Hey, Laura." All a bit much for a simple poem, but again, it's my blog!


ADDENDUM TO MY EARLIER POST: In an effort to follow doctor's orders and not lose additional weight, Sedona and I capped off our walk at the park with a stop at Graeter's Ice Cream: a scoop of black raspberry chip for me and a small scoop of vanilla for my golden girl. Delicious!
