May 2011 Archives



5/31/11 -- With my computer finally up and running, I was able to put together the Birthday Toasts and send them to Lucy.  She was delighted and you can read her note above.  Thanks so much for taking Lucy's suggestion to "do something out of the usual that nourishes them in some way."  What a great idea Lucy had to celebrate her birthday and what fun and novel ideas you all came up with. 

Thought I'd post them here so you could see what made her so happy :)

2011 BIRTHDAY TOASTS FOR LUCY

Sue

Noppanen

I toast Lucy by spending a peaceful hour or two down at Wantagh Park on the south shore of Long Island feeding the ducks, geese & fish as I sit and look out over the Great South Bay & breathing in the salty sea air.  I'll be drinking a thermos full of herbal tea & listening to LL's Roxy CD while feeding the wildlife.  Oops...forgot about the sea gulls swooping in...will have to wear a hat.
Vicki

Calli

As a 60yr old this June(!) and a long ago Catholic school gal who always stayed in line, I will light up in a toast to Lucy, one of these flavored cigarillos I bought, to remind me of simple desires. Having never been a smoker, I'll find it a lovely, overdue indulgence as I sit on my back deck, stare at the horizon over Campobello Island, and reflect back on all the years as the smoke disappears in the breeze; much like these fast moving years. My toast will include a well-aware laugh, and maybe a Hail Mary for good measure. ;)
