It’s Saturday. Time to celebrate all the goodness of the week at Ruth Ayres Writes.
ONE
Summer vacation has begun as of today! Our last day of school was yesterday. While bittersweet with eight people leaving us, it was a joyous day. So much love to be shared by students, staff, and parents.
TWO
Last weekend I was at my brother’s graduation from the Southern California Health Institute. Forty years ago this month I graduated from Lewis and Clark College. This weekend is our fortieth reunion. Good to catch up with people.
THREE
Kindergartners who brought me cards for reading to them all year. Singing “Metamorphosis” with the minders…it’s a song about change.
FOUR
I was accepted into the Darcy Pattison Revision Retreat along with 19 other people. In January 2015 (six months away).
FIVE
Getting my first summer poem in the mail for the Summer Poetry Swap from Diane Mayr. Thanks, Diane.
What are you celebrating?

I was scrolling down my FB feed and the picture caught my eye! I’m glad it arrived. I will send you the jpg, I think it’ll look better!
Beautiful all the way through, Jone. The poetry swap is a very good thing, isn’t it? Happy summer to you!
