Mom was my rock, The Gram was my home away from home, and Auntie was my before and after school program when the weather was bad and the walk was long.
The 21st-Century Spirit Squad now consists of me, M (just like Judi Dench in the Bond films, or maybe Bernard Lee, except not like them at all), my husband, K-Hubs (the calm one), and our spirited daughters, Toodlebug and Twinkleberry.
And if you’re wondering what all this spirited stuff is about, read here. It runs deep.
Spirited and then Some
