So when I got Lucy home, I sat her in the living room.
She was wearing a knit dress and it was covered with spider webs and dried leaves. Had she been abused or what?

So I stripped off her dress and threw it in the washer, and then I thought about a dress I had bought years ago. It was a Laura Ashley dress... pink floral with a lacy collar from Good Will.
That would be perfect for Lucy; however, before I got a chance to get her dressed, my husband came home to find Lucy sitting in the living room within view of the front door, stark naked!
That's when the fun began!

He had a fit and wondered what anyone might think should they come to the front door or look in and see a naked woman sitting there in plain sight.
So I got Lucy dressed and I think she felt quite beautiful at that moment.

And then we had the discussion... where is she going to sit? Of course, I thought she was fine right there
but the decision was made to put her on the wicker couch at the top of the stairs in the loft and that is where she stayed for months on end.
