Back to Grounds with Lucy!

I got to spend the afternoon with Lucy and we had our first mini-road trip in Phineas, all while listening to our Taylor Swift Mixola, to celebrate TSI Day. Smart girls that we are, we hit the gift shop first! A lovely lady that overheard us talking and Lucy saying that she wanted to buy the flamingo toy for her teacher, but if she got the little narwal figurine and the steel pencil it would put her over her pre-determined fifteen dollar limit. I told her that I would cover it all because she is a kind a wonderful girl and deserves something for herself from the shop. Of course, there was a string attached - she had to come with me to see Gloria Vanderbilt's dream box and pretend to love it. (By the way, she not only didn't say her usual bit about it being creepy, but she listened to me try to explain the piece, and a bit about Gloria's background.) The woman told me what a sweet child Lucy is and I, naturally, agreed with her. It's so nice when the rest of the universe can take note of this remarkable wee lady. Cause she really is absolutely double-terrific.
