The most recent memory that I love is Halloween 2003. I went to the "Senior's" party with Ma, and there was Lucy dancing (or should I say hopping with her cane) in this circle with this "wild rainbow color wig!" She really looked good that day, and most of all she was having fun.



Her and Ma are probably talking away up there!
