Finding myself in one of those moods I
hadn't been in in a long time...
While watching Julie and Julia I had a
sudden yearning for a pen pal. I remembered when back in 2nd
grade our teacher somehow or other got us addresses of kids living on
the other side of the country so we could write to them. I can't
remember my pen pal's name, try as I might...I remember she lived in
Wisconsin and that her favorite flowers were roses and peonies, and
those silly things that 7-year-olds will write to each other about.
Watching Julia and Avis's first encounter, after their very extensive
written history and the sort of sisterhood that emanated from it,
makes me wish for something of the sort.
I've undoubtedly developed a second
permanent fine line under my eyes. But that's ok, some 5-year-olds
have undereye lines as well, and after all, I can't look younger than
they do.
