Sugar and spice and everything nice? I certainly wouldn’t have described myself in those terms when I was Cassidy Rose’s age. Not that I wasn’t nice or a little bit of sweet and sour at times. Not that I didn’t relate to some  rhymes and platitudes. At least around the Camp Fire Girl’s circle while singing and simultaniously stuffing s’mores.  But at that pivotal point between childhood and the greater world of adults, I was fearless, for the most part, and open to the universe. Anything was possible and, I believed, only the best would befall. Should befall. Our first granddaughter is some 60 years behind me and I wish beyond belief and hope with all my heart that she is free and open and only dreams big. And never settles.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIDY ROSE!

WITH SEAN AND HALEY
