How delight...My dear Miss Melody - and kindred Amy,<br />How delightful for you to have the joy of sharing a vacation week that will be long remembered! Your girlish glee makes me want to turn back the clock a bit to my own more carefree days when finding that kindred mind to share my heart with was of greatest import. Celebrating with My Fair Lady (which, by the way, I had memorized all of Eliza's lines and could sing all her songs by the time I was fourteen - but - alas, never had the opportunity to play the part onstage and am decidedly a quarter century too old to do so now)enjoying Eliza together is a great way to mark the occasion. I am coming out of a couple very stormy years career-wise and am taking a sabbatical this summer. You must know my Jane Austen collection will be accompanying my days while I retreat to my collage art and see God's will for fresh career paths. May you both be inspired with lasting abundance in good things and beauty at this time in your life - and take the fruits of it into your future adult lives when cares can make the garden fitful. Cherish the innocence, steward the beauty, shine!<br />Joy!<br />Miss KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-58883863054902515632013-05-26T17:58:54.552-06:002013-05-26T17:58:54.552-06:00You know, I've never really blogged about how ...You know, I've never really blogged about how she and I became friends.

"Kindred spirits aren't as scarce as I used to think." :) :) Your comment made me very happy, my dear!<br /><br />Charity,<br />Heehee, well, you will at least see some pictures, because we intend to do ones cleverly hiding our faces. ;) As to more... I'll see what I can do. ;) And we will INDEED have fun.<br /><br />Lizzie,<br />Thank you! :D<br /><br />Miss Jane Bennet,<br />Thanks! And we will be sure to have something to show our readers as far as photographs go. :)<br /><br />Hamlette,<br />Awww... you have given us hope. As to meeting even more times after this, that is. :D I can definitely believe that every visit will be too short though! Thanks for your well wishes. I'd love to hear more of the story of you and your best friend--do you have blog posts about it anywhere? ;)<br /><br />Emma Jane,<br />We are indeed fortunate. :) Well, blessed. Beyond anything we thought to imagine. I hope one day you will find a really kindred-spirit-y friend, but you know nothing is quite the same as having very sisterly sisters either! :) My two sisters are both kindred spirits but they are a deal older than me and both live very far away from me now. Do be sure to cherish yours. :DMelodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-41230493903511498592013-05-22T14:03:29.745-06:002013-05-22T14:03:29.745-06:00That's so exciting!

I'm so happy for you both. :) You are so fortunate to have each other- I've found that it's a rare thing indeed to find a real kindred spirit, a true friend with whom you share common interests and really admire and respect. The only people I have that kind of relationship with are my two dear sisters- that is not to say that they don't count, but sometimes I do pine for a friend. :)<br /> I know you don't need me to tell you to have a fabulous time....:P, but all the same, I hope you do!<br /><br /> ~Emma Jane :)Emma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215503772898813587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-77695018594208867172013-05-21T17:33:27.705-06:002013-05-21T17:33:27.705-06:00I'm so happy for you!

We've been real-life-together 7 times in those 8 years, the last time just over a week ago, and let me warn you: every visit is too short. I hope you have a fabulous time, unfettered by pesky things like headcolds or bad weather or plane delays, and part firmer friends than ever.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-36738275542751300092013-05-21T15:05:50.950-06:002013-05-21T15:05:50.950-06:00Congratulations!!!!!!!

Okay, so I was let in on the news of...YAYYYYY!!!!!<br /><br />Okay, so I was let in on the news of The Visit earlier in time, but I was wondering when the blogging world would be told. Isn't it wonderful how many kindred spirits there really are? Anne Shirley knows just what I'm talking about... = )<br /><br />Melody, m'dear, you sounded as if you were positively beaming the whole time you wrote this post (and well you should be!) I adore all of the friendship pictures and quotes you put up. Yay for the Tweens! : DLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441270681441523364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-88712696798684225682013-05-20T19:02:38.790-06:002013-05-20T19:02:38.790-06:00Amy,
Yes indeed... let's pat each other on the...Amy,<br />Yes indeed... let's pat each other on the back for the post. *pat pat pat*<br />Anyways. I'm glad it (they :P) MYFSVHI--yours did too. But I already told you that. And as to thanking me-- HA! Thank me when what you're making my #1 Wish come true?? ;D But true, our parents will have to put up with our being crazy. Heeheehee. I can't wait to be crazy with youuu... I do hope we get a chance to say "Nothing, Mother, we're just rehearsing the wedding march!" >:D<br />Yes, the moment where we spot each other in the airport... IknowI'mgoingtoweepIjustknowit. The first time you ever see me I will have a red nose. Lovely. :P <br />SQUEEE.<br /><br />Anne-girl,<br />Oh, yes, she must show you all ECD! You're lucky because four sisters is just the right amount to actually be able to do a dance. :) She shall also know how to waltz when she gets back. Leave it to me. :) <br />And as to the list being impressive--HA! That really is only a small sneak-peek. If you saw the unabridged version "you would faint dead away", as Nellie Oleson would say... sink me, I'm a bit of a poet, and you did not know it, what?<br />Awww, it makes me so pleased to know that anything I write could make people choked up. Heehee. Even if it is mainly because of The Subject. :D You do indeed have a wondrous sister! ;) I must thank you for so graciously letting me 'borrow' her for eight days. ;) (And your mom too, not to mention! Okay, well, it is to mention...)

Amy...That's an impressive list of things to do. Amy's totally going to have to show me the ECD when she gets home. <br /><br />I read this and sort got all choked up, and sniffed to myself and thought about what a wondrous sister I have. Melody you have a way of putting things. You two are going to have SO MUCH FUN! I get excited just thinking about it.<br /><br />The house will be so quiet with her gone.<br /> <br />Anne-girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879811254464226204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-60061207895021747182013-05-20T16:14:43.536-06:002013-05-20T16:14:43.536-06:00What a delightful post this is, my dear, to be sur...What a delightful post this is, my dear, to be sure. And I read through the whole thing, indeed I did, and did NOT just skip down to the bottom to see your two cents. :D Tootuz it makes so much more sense reading it all together, you know. <br /><br />And your two cents MMFSVHI reading it (er... them?). You have such a splendid way of putting things, dearling. I feel so privileged to have you as my friend-- and can it be that I haven't thanked YOU for hosting me and my mom for eight whole days in your house???? Shocking. Abominable ingratitude. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. (And thank you to your parents too. They're the ones who are going to have to put up with us being crazy together. :D)<br /><br />I'm still kind of in shock that this is actually happening. :D Even after four months of knowing it was a reality, it's still a bit unreal. I think the moment when it WILL seem real will be when I spot you in the airport. <br /><br />SQUEEEEEEEP.<br />:DMiss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.com
