shopping with lucy

She says we have a lot in common.

We both love to read more than anything else,

someone said that we have the same smile,

and we both love ice cream

to name just a few.

She is the best granddaughter

my only granddaughter

and a constant source of joy.

Yesterday we went shopping.

We went to the beach 

looking for a picture of the ocean 

to hang over the fireplace.

Now,

 at the beach,

 the shops are quirky and expensive.

A lot of junk with high price tags.

I did find a picture,

an original Rex Duggar,

hanging out in a junk shop.

I love it,

but am having trouble spending that much money 

in an otherwise

 "hole in the wall."

But anyway, back to Lucy.

She had $4.00.

Instead of looking for something for herself,

she insisted on shopping for me.

She made me leave the store 

so that she could make her purchase and surprise me.

I waited and waited,

finally she emerged, grief stricken....

no one would come to help her pay.

My little love is a giver.

She gives out of her beautiful heart.

I want to be more like Lucy in my soul.

Here is the picture.

It would have to be reframed.

I just love it.
