Lucy turned twelve yesterday
and what a party it was!
She requested wings and Grammy's potato salad.
For dessert she choose Atlantic Beach Pie.
Her tastes as well as her body are growing up (too fast.)
We spent some time around the big old farm table last evening
telling our favorite Lucy stories.
There were quite a few.
From tossing a plate in our favorite restaurant in Washington DC when she was just a baby,
to her pumpkin spice nursery in her home in Arlington Heights, Chicago,
to us pulling her arm out of socket at Lou Malnati's pizza place, also in Chicago,
we relished in having lived our lives with her.
Lucy is a delight...
a precious young lady who loves to sew and cook.
One of her gifts was citrus acid to make scented bath bomb fizzes.
She has plenty of opportunity to help with her new brother Walt.
She loves to eat crab legs with me at the Crab Shack.
I am so glad that God placed her with us to be her family.
Thanking Him today for the gift that is Lucy.
Happy 12th Lu.
I love you to the moon and back 100 times.
