old enough
"My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be
your affectionate Godfather,
C. S. Lewis"

I like it
:)
It's not the studio above the ice cream shop. And it's not the crazy-expensive loft above the downtown bakery. But it IS adorable and practical, just remodeled with lots of wood floors and natural lighting.
And the most special thing of all? My 1st basement!
And the funniest thing? We'll be mowing our own lawn. Ha.
