Dot is our only writer today. She is spending the first half of her Easter break with a school friend who lives in Willoughby and the second half with a friend in Cleveland.

She describes the campus-wide chaos of Wednesday night as all the students tried to do last minute laundry, finish packing and wrap up their school work before leaving. And she wistfully described her twinge of homesickness on Thursday when she saw three big Greyhound buses waiting to transport girls home.

The next day, at her friend’s home, she and Ardy took a couple of toddlers to the local park for playtime.  She describes swinging, teeter-tottering and going down the slide. She adds the the youngsters were sweet enough to let Dot have more fun than they did themselves. I’ll bet Dart enjoyed the mental image of Dot frolicking with little ones on the play equipment.

She wished Dart a very happy Easter and promised to call his folks when she’s in Cleveland on Saturday. She also wished that all he has gone through would be a prelude to years of happiness and success.
