It is so much fun to see Lucy with my mother! I wish I could make Lucy enjoy tedious tasks as much as she does! When Grandma says,
"Let's change the bed sheets, water the garden or go pick 120 plumeria blossoms and string a lei," she always gets Lucy's full attention and excitement. Magic! I know the pleasure was reciprocal for all, as Lucy loved being spoiled, Grandma loved the doting, and I loved watching them as I escaped into a book and soaked up sun. Super sweet is to see Lucy giving her Grandma serious, almost professional, massages in her pretend massage parlor. (Lucy actually made a bit of cash collecting coins from Grandma each time!)
Time at home is never long enough to finish all the mother-daughter, "women's wisdom" talks I cherish. Mom, I look forward to your comments here, and your stories of the journey you have waiting for you back in Montana!

Dear Michelle,
Well this one really made me cry.Lucy is such a special child and it is really hard not to be able to be around her more than I am. I really do love the time we spend together and hope that as she grows we will be able to find a way that we are together more...spending summers with gram sounds wonderful...just as long as she doesn't get too homesick !!
I know that all grammas must feel this way too, but I really do love Lucy so much. Thanks for sharing her with us.
