I was confident we would have leftovers when I was cutting beef, and then chicken, for kabobs. I was wrong. Abbie’s 21st birthday is Monday, but our barbecue celebration was last night. Of the roughly 35 people who showed up, Abbie was the only person who knew everyone in the mix of family, Tilikum summer staff, and other friends. The age range went from mid-teens to early 90s. When Abbie so naturally took the lead in the call-and-response penguin camp song, I saw the confidence and competence of a girl who has become a fine young woman.
