Emelia’s Poem

I am the daughter of the moon sparkling in the night blue sky.
I am a joyful butterfly swerving in the wind.
I am a splashing stream trickling through the mountains.
I am a smooth, smooth rock, cold as ice.
I am a tasty bluebuerry hanging on a bush.
I am a steaming fresh-baked brownie, warm and hot.
I am a Black Panther running swiftly in the sun.
I am the sky watching over people going back and forth.
I am the dream of a flying bird soaring in the sunset.
I am myself, thinking of thoughts!

— Emelia Brumbaugh, age 9

Farewell to a Sharing Heart …
Bobbi Smith: 1940-2001

With Bobbi Smith the Talent Machine, Inc. gave an endless number of kids the opportunity to express their creative talents. As a teacher, her energy was boundless.

Kids gained confidence, and through lots of hard work achieved their goals.
Bobbi’s enthusiasm for life brought joy to all who knew her and — through her fabulous musicals — to those who didn’t.

we’ll miss your energy
we’ll miss your smile
we’ll miss you …


Mom, Dad, Big Sis, Little Brother, Grandma, Grandpa, Fido, Kitty.

Valentine’s Day is a great time to do something nice for the people you care about.

It doesn’t have to be a mushy kiss either. Try a bike ride with Mom or a letter to an old friend, a picture for Grandma or a special dessert for brother and Dad.

See what fun surprises you can come up with.
