Very shortly I will go to one of the care homes in town and have a “hymn sing.” The people look forward to this hour of music and singing. Many can not see well enough to read the words, but they know most of the songs by heart. It is enjoyable and rewarding to see a smile or a tap with a foot.

The month of August is finished and a new season is starting. The children are going back to school again after a beautiful summer. Some of my grandchildren are starting or going back to college and university. Some of my great grandchildren start preschool or Kindergarten. A totally new routine is waiting them, away from home for many of them.
