It floated a moment and whirled round and round, The heli-o-cheese-copter sputtered and twitched. Strapped into the cockpit, she flipped on the switch. She hauls it out before Aunt Rose, her confidence shaky.

So, the next day, she creates a flying machine. She knows she can! The idea of creating a flying machine for her Aunt Rose completely captivates her (as I hope things captivate my kids and yours). Except one thing: to fly! She has not yet had that thrill, and she doubts if she'll get the chance.at her age, it might be just an old lady's dream. Aunt Rose has accomplished everything she's ever wanted on her long bucket list. Until one day (and thankfully, there is a 'one day' for Rosie as I hope there is a 'one day' for all of us), her great-great-aunt Rose tells tales of the things she's done in her long, full life. She stuck the cheese hat on the back of her shelfĪnd after that day kept her dreams to herself. 'Oh, truly I do.'īut Rosie Revere knew that could not be true. She looked at the cheese hat and then looked away. Who stood there embarrassed, perplexed, and dismayed. He laughed till he wheezed and his eyes filled with tears, For him, she creates a hat made of parts of a fan and cheddar cheese spray to keep snakes off his head. She invents contraptions for anyone and everyone, including for her favorite zookeeper-uncle Fred. In her spare time, when no one is looking, and after her lights should be out, she happily creates gadgets and gizmos.
