Just roll with it ...

One of my faithful readers turns fourteen today.
She is a sweet, smart, and talented young lady.
And the kind of person you want your own daughter to be friends with, which works out well, really, because she's one of Lucy's dearest friends.  Not only that, but I adore the rest of her family, too.
So, it's all good.

Happy Birthday, Ali.

And hang on! The best part of the ride is yet to come... =D
