A Lucky Day

It started with a ladybug. (You know it is good luck if they land on you.)

Then some friends joined us at the creek to catch macroinvertebrates (Gracie's biggest word to date.)

Then we made wishes at the merfrog (frog mermaid)  fountain 

while telling secrets and listening to the last jazz concert of the summer.

"Mama is there going to be a Fall concert?"

My grandmother would always tell me that "we're lucky."

We are indeed!

** When I made this post, I didn't realize that it was Friday the 13th, a day which I have always considered lucky because my father was born on Friday the 13th of September. He must have sent the ladybug from up above. I miss you papa. xoxo **
