Niki, One of my very favorite memories of you was taking you to dinner and watching you eat your first lobster. You were 16 and unfortunately that was a little before we had cell phones to photograph those precious moments. You were so intrigued with the bib they put on you, the candle under the butter, and the lemon wrapped with net to catch the seeds. You always loved eating lobster and I had so much fun introducing you to it.
