A couple of days ago, she said her 8-year-old daughter Alayna was with her Girl Scouts troop when some of the girls were trying to teach gymnastics moves:
“Alayna said, ‘Well, my mommy could help us. She did gymnastics.’”
While the pitch was undersold, the claim was right on the money.
Her mom did gymnastics — the way the mythical Rocky did boxing. The way the real-life USA hockey youngsters did the “Miracle on Ice” Olympics.

Skip the fertilizer, mowing: Some Dayton-area homeowners turning to ‘quilt lawns’
Dayton-area sustainability leaders are pointing to a new approach to lawn care that encourages biodiversity and cuts back on pesticides.
“Quilt lawns” are a term coined by University of Dayton professor Ryan McEwan as a nod to his grandmother who hailed from Eastern Kentucky and sewed quilts in the Appalachian tradition of using scraps of different materials to create a colorful tapestry.
“Quilts are colorful, and each one is unique,” McEwan said. “The creator also has an opportunity to express themselves in terms of pattern and color.”
