*waits with Iain* As others have said, this was particularly well-crafted. I could hear the skitter-skitter of their little lobster feet. Ruth’s last blog post..If You Can’t Be Compassionate To Yourself…

Jamie: Yeah, Daisy hates it when I call them that, but that what thems are. I’m really looking forward to writing the follow-up. I haven’t a clue how it will turn out.

Janice: We do indeed make our own fairy tales and legends. I look forward to making more.

Cindy: I love you, honey! You’re pretty right on yourself.

Vered: Thanks, Vered. Me too.

Lori: Thanks!

Blogger Dad: Me too, the ending has yet to be written.

Rachel: Hi Rachel. I’m glad you’re enjoying. I’m glad to have you, and I hope to see you around.

Kyddryn: Family legends are the best; a little bit of truth, a little bit of magic.

Just because it takes place before you were a writer or a dad doesn’t mean it has no place here – it’s part of your mythos, and perfectly appropriate for the space that is so deeply, indelibly yours.

Also, I adore reading family legends, and one beginning with a lobster race? Could come from my own clan.

We have a yearly lobster boil, and we race ours, too. And put them near the cats because the cats? The way they look at the critters? Priceless. And we name them (the lobsters) after past presidents (equal attention to all parties).

My grandfather was, for a brief while, a lobsterman.

Looking forward to reading the rest of this tale.
