My Fierce One Turns 11
My beautiful daughter's birthday was today. For the event, those of us who could cook created a fine meal with tacos, guacamole, and other great accompaniments. Instead of cake, we had cupcakes decorated in various custom designs by the eleven year old of the hour and those who came together to honor her. BTW, if I ever want to get a giggle out of folk who know her, I refer to my youngest as "my quiet and demure daughter." For my mind, I think she gets her keen and fierce personality from the one who shares the same birthday (and who influenced her old man growing up). Had he lived, Bruce Lee would have turned 70 today. To celebrate them both, there's only one theme song that fits.

Dad just closed his eyes. "What happened now?", he said as he opened them and scanned the room for her.
"Remember that party invitation from the other day--the one for the first day of her Spring Break?", said mom.
"Yes."
"Not real", said mom while her daughter brushed her naturally curly hair.
