Always Winging It

Always Winging It
"Hello? Addie. Yeah. Bye." - Addie P.

Cap bought Addie a Tinkerbell cell phone which she adores. You can press the buttons and it goes from beeps and bleeps to a few key fairy catch phrases like, "Sparkle Power" or "Always Winging It" which she repeats in the same sing-song manner. She loves her phone so much she wanted to make sure that her three friends in the painting have a chance to talk to Tinkerbell too. This painting hangs in our bathroom and was painted by Cap's aunt (or is it his second cousin), Gaye Hicks, in 1979. And that is seriously her name. Seriously. Well, her maiden name. This makes me giggle every time I think about it.

Addie has a special affinity for this pastoral piece of art. The three ladies and a little girl are dining al fresco on cake with sheep grazing in the background. "Cake." Addie brushes their teeth, polishes their smiling faces with her favorite toy - wipes. "Dirty" (pronounced Andrew Dice Clay style - dwooty). Apparantly now she also makes sure they have a direct connect to a special magical world where you never grow up.

Oh Addie, Sweets. I don't want you to grow up. Never ever.

I love that second picture, she has such a nice smile. I sometimes agree it would be nice if they could never grow up, but then how would we retire to Palm Springs?

That second picture is great! I think Addie just heard Tinkerbell say that today is her parents' anniversary! Happy Anniversary, Cap and Sarah!

Finally! Home so I can see the photos!

Happy anniversary, and joyful family finding love and magic and mystery in sharing ever-new experiences.

Children are the gift that keeps on giving. Their delight in discovery reminds us that there is yet much to be discovered, and everything to be cherished.

Thank you, Addie!
