We made play dough yesterday,
Karina and I,
What a delightful time we had.
Colored it with neon food coloring
and scented it with jasmine oil.
It looked good and smelled great.
I showed her how to make
play dough roses.
We had it on our noses
and in our hair,
kitchen table was a mess,
We didn't care.
She was happy...
that's all that counts.

Yo dear Ida,

Anything that makes a kid happy is a good thing. It also makes for a good poem.

Love Bobby

Ida, dear Ida ~

You didn't make play dough; you made a memory. I hope that you put your poem with any pictures that you have from yesterday. Karina will treasure all of this some day and maybe be doing it with her children and grandchildren as she talks about her Grandmother Ida. I love the windows of your life.

I used to make that with my kids, I love that stuff,
especially the homemade kind! You triggered a memory all right!!

Cute poem, Ida.
