Here are those Wilson girls—Jane, with music in her heart, Katherine, our sensational, happy, smart, loving, and blog fabulous
Newlie, and Carolyn, with whom I could stand and talk for hours, and why, oh why, can't we have more hours? We did not pre-color coordinate (those Wilson girls have other things on their minds), but I suspect you won't believe me. But I am proud and lucky to know this family, and to have known them for so long. Every radiant inch of their outsides is equaled by who they are within.
Gorgeousness is also my friend Kelly Simmons (
The Bird House, Standing Still), who drove all the way out to Exton, PA, to see me today. I love Kelly, and I love that she surprised me, and I'll never forget us rearranging the mall furniture so that we could pretzel ourselves up and talk books. I only wish I'd thought to take your picture, Simmons.
SIMMONS?! :)
Kelly, thank you.
1) I will get to Body Combat because I have failed to Zumba all week long, because I have eaten too much, because I have been at this desk pounding, pounding, but even my fingers are fatter than they were.
2) I will see beautiful Katherine at her wedding shower, even though I couldn't resist and bought her something not on the shower list. Katherine, I had to, and I hope you love it. (It's just so
you.) I will also see, at this same event, Katherine's beautiful sister, Carolyn, and their mother, Jane, and the next day I will see them all again, at St. John's Presbyterian Church, where we will be honoring Reverend Victor Wilson, standing in our pulpit one last time before retirement. It is a very special weekend. Want to see how special this bride-to-be is? Read her blog
Newlie. Find out how to smash some strawberries.
3) I will be driving, mid-shower, lightning speed but hopefully sans lightning, to Books a Million in Exton, PA, where I'll be hanging out between 1:30 and 3:00, should anyone want to stop by and talk about Spain, weather, paella, mysterious boys, Katherine's shower (just kidding, Katherine!), or a novel titled
Small Damages. The exact address: 298 Exton Square, Exton, PA 19341. Perhaps I'll see some of you there. Laura Schibinger, Books a Million GM, I have one thing to say to you: Dancing will only make it better. That's how dancing works.
I know it was a special occasion because you are wearing two big earrings.
I think I had three big earrings in.... I wonder if I still do. And hello, Q!
What a lovely group of ladies. And I am here to say I have a crush on Kelly Simmons. Someday I will bake you both a cake. It just seems like the right thing to do.
I love that your outfits look coordinated.
