It was fun, but it was also sad. Family gathered last night to see a sweet sister and her family off, south to another state. Another college will receive the benefit of her expertise, and other family members will be near her, and thankful.
So that is what we were doing last night. Taking the time to say goodbye, to sing, to bring lovely food, and to tell stories. It was just as fun and just as sad as I had thought it would be.
For now, I will be in her rearview mirror..
We love you, Boo!

Oh What A Gal!
From the tune of "If You Knew Susie" by Eddie Canter
Lyrics by Robin Green
1. If you knew Barbara..... Like we know Barbara
Oh,
Oh, Oh what a gal!
She’s
sometimes saucy..... but seldom bossy
Oh,
to.... take her place they’ll need a posse.
They
really needed Barbara down at COCC
But
somehow got the notion that she’d work endlessly
But
if they knew Barbara.... Like we know Barbara
Oh,
Oh how they’d pay!!
2. If you knew Barbara..... Like we know Barbara
Oh,
Oh, Oh what a gal!
She’s
such a blondie, we love her fondly
Oh,
Oh, she’s just like Ma-hat-ma Gandhi.
Her
work and patience are oh so easy to see
And
thousands now are crying “What will become of me?!?!”
Cause
without our sister, I’ll tell you mister.
Big
gaps they will see!!
3.
If you knew Barbara.... Like we know Barbara
Oh,
Oh, Oh what a gal!
She
has great powers, will work for hours
Oh,
without her.... tears will fall like showers
Oregon
will soon become a thing of her past
But
surely she will miss us and come visit at last
If
you knew Barbara, like we know Barbara,
Oh,
Oh what a gal!!
