Day 4.250: Exile #3 and the bottle top flowers

Exile #3 has an affinity with bottle caps. She has been claiming the lids from my bottles of beer for some time and squirreling them away in a collection.  She told me today that she has 120 - surpassing her original target of 100.

Not that I drink a lot of beer.

She and I spent a large chunk of the day at Five Rivers for the Fall Festival.  She volunteered to help and was assigned to a craft station making paper flowers with bottle-top centres.  She turned out to have an affinity not just with the bottle tops, but with engaging, demonstrating, assisting and encouraging kids both younger and older than herself to do this lovely project.


I was very proud of her.

  1. We too are very proud of Exile #3. Congratulate her for us - two blog mentions in one day as well.
