Thursdays with Eliana

Kicked up by a west wind promising rain, fall leaves swirled around waiting parents.  Soon children exited the elementary school, heading for the bus or a familiar adult face.  Eliana appeared, waving goodbye to friends and smiling broadly as she approached her Dad and me. At my home, we played school. She listed the names of classmates, and then she took the role of teacher and I took the role of student…a glimpse into her morning classroom routine!
