Jamie Sewing

Today, we hung fire hose in the playroom. Since the chimps were locked in the front rooms while we worked, Sarah and Diana decided to give Jamie some yarn, a plastic needle and some plastic mesh to see if she would be interested in doing some needlepoint while she waited. Jamie, of course, was up to the challenge. J.B.

    OMG! That’s fabulous, and tragic. Brilliant, and sad. Thank you for sharing!

    Boy that Jamie ~ I don’t think there’s anything she’s unwilling to try. It’s good to see that after all she’s been through, she remains inquisitive, interested and engaged in activities. Don’t know that I’d be able to say the same for myself after decades of solitary confinement in a basement. Bless you, JB, Diana, Sarah and everyone for giving the chimps such thoughtful enrichment. You’re most assuredly their salvation.
