The Wendy Lady
Do you remember, in Peter Pan, how Wendy took care of the lost boys? I feel like I've gotten to do that today...and I loved it.
This morning I went fishing with 9 boys and 2 girls from the Village. Mr. Tyler (a very active volunteer) needed a female chaperone, so I tagged along. I've only been fishing once in my life, and I was a very little girl...and I didn't really do much. I didn't really do much in the way of fishing today either, but I was very busy baiting hooks, untangling line, counting fish, dodging poles, watching boys, holding little ones, chiding the careless ones, and encouraging the doubtful ones. I got to play "mom" for 11 kids from age 4 to age 15, and I enjoyed every minute. I feel very much like the Wendy lady, caring for my Lost Boys. I just wish they were truly mine.

Yeah! I'm the first to leave a comment (that I can see).
Great job girl! Let's go fishing sometime and you can bait all the hooks j/k.
Glad that you had a great time!
te amo
I'll bait your hook anytime, Dearest!

Windy Lady Goes Fishing.
Hmmmm.
Windy?
In the movie it always sounds like they call her the windy lady. Maybe it is just how little boys mispronounce things, I don't know.
I do believe it is "Wendy Lady," dear boy. :)
hmmmm. Bait hooks, untangle line, dodge poles, count fish, don't catch anything- sounds like one of my fishing trips. :)
Sounds fun
It is. You should try it again sometime.
I might. It depends...
Is this one of those things I have to work really hard to convince you that you might like it enough to be worth trying?
Nope.
*grin*
That's not what it depends on...
