Lonely Coconut Grove Cookies

The love of my life was laughing tonight on the phone-which was wonderful as she used to say how i could
made her laugh. I called as Wilbur, the gentle cookie pig, was lonely and explained to me that now that Anna
was almost four and learning to bake he would like to be with a little girl again.
You see, dear reader, Wilbur was a pig with no home and a little girl and her mother rescued him and took him
with them for the past 33 years. Lulu and juliet loved Wilbur. And he didn't want to hurt Lulu's feelings yet Wilbur had been feeling so lonely and empty for so long. And I think he wanted to be with a little girl and not an old biddy, as David would say.
Wilbur would never make me feel sad. He just wants to make Anna happy.

So, Wilbur and Lulu called Juliet. Juliet seemed to feel Lulu, her mother, was a bit loopy.
Juliet is a little darling thought and she wanted to let Wilbur move in with Their family.
This was not before J. laughed remembering that all she ever saw in Wilbur's big belly were
lumpy, funky, kind of cardboard tasting oatmeal cookies because in 1975 In Coconut Grove( which is the real place in the world as it was in the 1970's that Lulu remembers with so much awe and memory and sky and trees that made her feel the magic and still does.

Oh, that magic feeling. And no going back. Yet the culinary memories that Juliet shared made me feel so filled up and happy. no where else to go but to stay in the present and work on remembering there is magic everywhere

We must take Anna to the magic pool that her mother loved.
And then we will make cookies, oatmeal of course, and I will Sing Anna a Lullaby. Lulu's Lullaby.
