Also Speaks Latin



This is my sister Lucy.

She was the only child of nine who went to a private school, Meridian on ninth east.
She wore a uniform and had concerts.
She was so cultured by sixth grade we didn't know what to do with her.
Our family wasn't used to all the refinery.

Then later when she opted to go to Provo High, she was a cheerleader.
And had boyfriends and name-brand clothes.
We thought, "Oh this is more like it."
Our saucy little Lucy.

Now she is a wife and mother.
And lives in Provo's west side.
She is a little west side and a little east side.
The best of both worlds.

Happy Birthday Lucy!

Happy, happy birthday Lucy Dear! You are adorable!

Lucy said...

There are so few of us Lucy's we must stick together, enjoy your day!

Meridian is now over in Orem, across the street from Orem High. I hope it served Lucy well in her pre-cheer days!

Lucy is lovely. Lucy should get a blog. Does Lucy have a blog? Surely I'd know about it by now if she did. Surely others have wondered if Lucy has a blog. I'd love Lucy to have a blog. I'd love to hear more about that darling Baby Betsy and the farm. And I like things that come in threes...Nie, CJane, and Lucy, a trifecta of sisterly fabulousness. Or fabulosity. Which one is it? Are either of those a word? No matter. You're all fabulous. Lucy should start a blog.

Happy Birthday Lucy! =)

I'm glad Lucy doesn't have a blog. It would probably be really boring.

Regan said...

I don't get it. Why would Lucy's blog be boring? I confused at that comment. Happy Birthday Lucy!

Jeanny said...

congrats, lucy. you are wonderful and I wish you had a blog :) All the best to you and your cute little family!

I agree, I would read Lucy's blog. I love farms. I envy people who have farms. The self reliance would keep me entranced and GREEN, but entranced!

I agree with Megan. Your blog would be dull. What would you write? "last night me and Andrew went to cafe rio again." boring.

Are you still coming to my house on Friday?

I second this. Actually, can I third and fourth it too?

@Rookie Cookie...hopefully her grammar would be better -- "Andrew and I went..." Geesh. You people have serious grammar issues.

Happy Birthday Lucy! You are beautiful and Betsy too.

Happy Late Birthday to Lucy. I saw her in Costco a while back and wanted to say only to realize I don't really know Lucy only from your blog :) But to me she's famous. ha ha

I definitely think Lucy should create a blog! I don't think it would be boring at all, actually. Her daughter is absolutely adorable and stories from her life on a farm would be fun to read. She seems really creative and I think she has impeccable taste.
