Pieces of the Heart
“Next to Hart’s Valley, it’s my favorite place in the world. Maybe it’s because I’ve always lived near the water. But with a lake you can see the beginning and end of it, unlike the ocean that seems to go on forever. Sailing from one end of the lake to the other is nice, but you always know where you’re going. I’d like to sail to the other side of the ocean, just to see what’s there. Jude says it’s because that’s the way I look at life—it’s so much more exciting when you don’t know what’s on the... other side of the day you’re in. You just expect the best, deal with the bumps, and pray that your boat doesn’t fall apart under the big waves.
Jude’s with us this week. We invited Caroline, too, but she couldn’t go. Mrs. Collier has her going to this charm school in Atlanta to learn how to walk and dress. I’m glad I wasn’t there when Mrs. Collier told her about it—I’m sure the walls are showing scorch marks! You’d think Mrs. Collier would understand that the more she pushes Caroline to go one way, the more Caroline will push just as hard to go the other direction.MoreLess
