Abby is 12 years old. She still loves chocolate and bacon and is a picky eater about most everything else. Most everyday, she gets up early and goes to the German bakery with her dad. We pick up a bunch of the German pretzel rolls. She'll have a pretzel roll sandwich with black forest ham every day she goes to school. She will be my lone middle schooler in the fall going into 7th grade. She is a member of the drama club and into music as well. She's getting very good on the clarinet. She does great in school - another A student. She is still into the arts - mostly drawing and poetry. For more of Abby's poetry, click the link. The poem below was written for her dad when he was gone to India for 10 days:

Dear Popsicle,

This poem was written in tribute to you:

Now that you’ve left
Now that you’ve left I understand my need for you
When you leave the cover of love evaporates
I’ll have no blanket when it’s winter
No seashells in the summer
No golden leaves in the fall
No colourful foliage in the spring
I am lost on a mountain trail, no sense of direction
The magnitude of your love may seem to lessen
Yet the more that I neglect your love the more I’ll need you
I hope that now you know that you just can’t leave me anymore
