magic



my grand daughter lucy is almost 6. it's early morning and i just got off the phone with her. yesterday she bumped her teeth and the 2 loose ones at the bottom started bleeding. when she realized how loose they were, she pulled them out. that's the kind of girl lucy is. fearless and ready. last night she put them in her tooth pillow. she was afraid that her new kitten olive might scare away the tooth fairy. she was too excited to sleep but then felt cool air in her ear and knew that the tooth fairy was there and trying to get her to sleep. i can't think of a better way to start my morning. her world is large and joyful and full of possibilities.

Shawn: Lucy and Olive are both just adorable. I love the story about her teeth and the tooth fairy.

I'm so excited you're going to SF. There was a time in my life when I knew the city well...alas, no more. I hope you have a grand time, and I'll look forward to your discoveries and photographs. XXX
