Kelly recognized her cell phone’s ring as it cut through the noisy conversations of her Denver colleagues around the coffee bar. She took her coffee and stepped away from the crowded area. Donuts and coffee were a necessity to make it through long business meetings.

Burt’s number flashed on her screen. “Hey, Burt, what’re you up to? You still showing Cassie the spinning wheel?”

Burt’s familiar laughter sounded. “No, I didn’t want to scare her off. She seems happy with knitting up those little scarves Mimi showed her. She’s finished another one already.”

“Good for her. I bet she’ll be a better student than I was. She doesn’t argue with the yarn.”

“That’s true. Plus, she’s got two great teachers with Mimi and Megan. Megan showed up here this morning to see if Cassie wanted to go to another tennis clinic.” He chuckled. “I’m surprised how cooperative Cassie is. She’s ready to try anything we suggest. She even started drafting some wool with me yesterday when I was spinning with a small class. I’d shown her how to draft when I was demonstrating the wheel the other day, and she got the hang of it pretty quickly. And today, she came into my class and started drafting wool for everybody. She’d sit next to each spinner for a few minutes and draft until they had a big pile in their laps, then she’d move to the next spinner.” He laughed again. “I tell you, I’d never seen that before.”

“Sounds like Cassie really enjoys learning new things. She’s adventurous. That’s a good thing.”

“I’ll bet she’s never had the chance to be around so many different activities before. Her grandfather probably couldn’t drive her to many places, so she may never have had a chance to participate in lots of different activities. I swear, my daughter is in the car all the time, driving my grandkids to one activity after another. Sports teams, choir practice, music lessons, gymnastics, soccer, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts. I get exhausted just listening to her tell me.”

“You know, I think you’re right, Burt. Being around the shop and meeting lots of people are probably entirely new experiences for someone who’s been living quietly in a home with an elderly grandparent. Except for friends and activities at school, Cassie probably hasn’t had a chance to do as many things as your grandkids, for instance.”

“Well, between you and me, I think my grandkids are overscheduled. But with Cassie, her going to the softball sessions with you and the tennis clinic with Megan got her involved with kids her own age. That’s good. It’s also a great way for her to make friends while she’s here in Fort Connor.”

“That’s for sure. I noticed she fit in well with the girls in my clinic and seemed to really enjoy learning. Oh, that reminds me. Jayleen came in to the shop yesterday and got to meet Cassie. You could tell Jayleen took a shine to her right away.
