After my long nap this morning to recover from a mostly-sleepless overnight flight cross-country, we had a nice afternoon.  My little sister and I played with drop spindles for a while – turns out an elementary school teacher of hers is a knitter and had brought in some spindles and wool to show them earlier this year – and she made great progress.

Then most of the house headed out to a local deli to pick up subs (they were delicious, I’ve missed them) and eat them in the park behind the library, where a group of local college students was performing Shakespeare’s As You Like It.  We showed up a little late so luckily I already knew some of the plot…  They did a great job, though the littlest one was frustrated by her lack of ability to understand them and headed into the library to read.

Even if she’s not into Shakespeare yet having a little sister who wants to read all the time still makes me tremendously proud.  She’s headed into 6th grade, and read over 150 pages during my video conference with work this afternoon!
