Lucy


Meet Lucy Long, my 12-year-old granddaughter. Lucy is in the 6th grade. She is an excellent student and is a very good writer. Last year Lucy produced her very own monthly magazine and distributed it to fellow classmates. Lucy knows her way around a computer like a pro. She is really a very talented young girl.

Lucy is tall and slender. She is very pretty. She lives in Salt Lake City with her mom, Lisa, and her dad, Steve. Lucy has a brother named Chad who recently became engaged to marry Andrea. After the wedding next summer, Lucy is glad that she will be getting a sister to be part of her life.

I remember when Lucy was a little girl, she seemed very grown up. She had a grown-up vocabulary and a serious demeaner. At the same time, she could be a lot of fun. I remember her spending lots of time on her backyard playset and having fun with her two kitties. Now she has just one kitty but also a neat dog.

I also remember Lucy and her dad having fun ice skating during the wintertime. The family does lots of adventurous activities together.

Lucy is an excellent photographer. She likes to take pictures on the numerous vacations she goes on with her family. She captures the excitement of the trip in each photo. I remember wonderful photos of dolphins on one of the Long vacations.

Every summer, we look forward to attending an acting performance from Lucy. She has participated in acting workshops at the U of U and the Hale Theater. It is fun to see Lucy slide into the roles of other people, like her portrayal of an English girl in a video production of a play. Her accent was very authentic.

Lucy is an elegant young lady. She is going to grow up using her many talents to be an outstanding woman. I am proud to have her as our granddaughter.
