To be six again
2004-02-24, 3:25 p.m.

This weekend I took the youngest niece to the park as the sister, the brother-in-law and the oldest niece were off to do something else entirely.

It was a bright and sunny 70 degrees out and the niece bounced out of the house wearing shorts, a halter top, boots and beads in her hair.

She looked vaguely like a sixties flower child. To be six again and able to pull off not-quite-together outfits with flair.
