She’s now lucky number seven which is a pretty groovy age as a kid. First grade is over (or will soon be) and you’ve gotten a pretty solid taste for grade school. I cannot remember if Summer vacation has started in the Chicago area, Brian will probably let me know.
Next year, I do hope to meet her in person for the first time because Somara and I have a tentative plan to do a road trip through the Midwest. Like a tour of my life during the late Eighties to early Nineties since she has never met my brother in person but there will be many familiar faces along the way: Steve B, Phil and Nelson.
Anyway, maybe we can time it around Anna’s birthday. Doesn’t sound like much of a gift to a kid. I can only hope the elfin magic I have with other children liking me works on her. She’s probably now too old to buy into the Santa Claus arrangement I have with the Lowrys.
I’m open to suggestions on what a seven-year-old girl would like, within reason, to send her parents’ way.
