It's March, and March is for slicing.  Anyone is welcome to join us through Two Writing Teachers, slicing, sharing, and commenting on other slices!

I have a much more joyful post today than I had yesterday! 

Since Julia was 14, I've posted every year on her birthday. She's the lucky daughter with a birthday during March, so her day gets an annual slice. (Although this year, there will be a special half-birthday shout-out in a couple of days!)

Julia was home for a week because of spring break, and for a couple of days, it was just the two of us, an unusual occurrence in a family with four daughters. We shopped and ate and watched basketball and laughed together. 

"I could roadtrip down to see you on your actual birthday," I offered. 

She shook her head. "We'll be way too busy," she said. 

My head knows she's way too busy. My heart is with her, though, celebrating this incredible woman who entered my life twenty-five years ago today. 

Happy birthday to Julia! 

Please know that Julia wasn't really in handcuffs... I mean she was, but it was the result of her winning a family scavenger hunt. She got a LOT of points for convincing the local cops to put her in handcuffs! 

All good things,
