A REAL WINNER!

Lucy, an Iowa relative, our swimming winner, lives in
​the pool practicing and competing and taking first place many times.

While her sister, Ruby (16), is the life guard at the local pool.   
An "in the water" family indeed.
Picture
You know how much I love surprises.   This dotted gift arrived at my door last week and I couldn't  open it fast enough!
What I found inside happened to be a creative homemade bag and two wonderful coasters.    Did Lucy make these?    With her busy swimming schedule?
Picture
With music plugged in and that colorful yarn waiting, she is busy making that darling bag while off to a swim meet!    Now just how cool is that?
Picture
Notes from Mary were stuck in the package with lovely sayings,
​now attached to my desk.
Picture
Such loveliness cannot be created anywhere else but by a 14 year-old with the world waiting to see where the next adventure takes Lucy!    I'm just so happy to be the recipient of such a gift.   
Picture
Thanks, Mary, my lovely cousin...well, part sister...for getting Lucy's talents to me!
I love them!   As I do both of you.   There will be more about Ruby and Annie as water is important to all three of these girls.
(Don't you just love that wall hanging sunshine piece?  A great way to start the day.)

Barb - I love your gifts that Lucy knitted - and I love this quote by Blaine Hogan that is on one of the notes from Mary: "Look at the blank pages before you with courage. Now fill them with beauty."

Oh, Linda, I too, LOVE that quote. I'm keeping it on my desk in the bedroom where writing takes place and refer to it daily.
