I think you are/were beautiful. Nine year old Connie would have wanted to be your friend but we probably would have just sat around and read books together.<BR/><BR/>I have never heard of several of the books you mentioned!

You already know about my desire to be Laura as a youngster. I must admit not knowing All of a Kind Family or Betsy-Tacy, but I still love to re-read my favorite juvenile fiction and now these will be some new ones to enjoy. Love your concern for your friends and how you still have it!Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07760240394306239399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889645091925744602.post-37090587769165735712008-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:00I loved reading about your two best friends from childhood and how they then became best friends. The same thing happened to me in college - I got my two best friends to share a triple room with me senior year, and after I finished a semester early they became best friends for a while. That was weird for me because I really missed them both. But now we are back to being a trio when we get together every five years or so.Cyndyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889645091925744602.post-32397394809948488132008-11-04T20:30:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:30:00.000-05:00That was fun Kate. Darling photographs, even with the sepia tint.<BR/><BR/>My friends and I enjoyed playing "Little House on the Prairie" and orphan girls (what was THAT about?) too.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood. And you really were beautiful.csquaredplus3http://www.csquaredplus3.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889645091925744602.post-34040344814758064032008-11-04T20:25:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:25:00.000-05:00Oh Kate I absolutely loved this post. It reinforces my opinion that you should also write a book - like Anastasia! You are a really gifted writer, and I loved your descriptions of having a couple of close friends, and the circles of accompanying friends being byproducts...what a great description - and I also really relate! So glad you started this blog - it is always a pleasure to read. Hope to see you over the holidays when we're in Virginia!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889645091925744602.post-44957267758110218542008-11-04T20:17:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:17:00.000-05:00This is so neat, Kate! I enjoyed this peek into your childhood. By the way, I am a Huge Betsy-Tacy fan! My grandma read them to my mother, who read them to us! I have a brand new set for my kids. PLUS, I have a Betsy-Tacy mug! To this day, when we drive by a fancy Victorian w/ a turret, we say "That's Tib's house!<BR/><BR/>I get what you are saying about individual friends. When Molly gets stressed out about great friends who aren't friends w/ ea other, I remind her that there is enough of her to go around.Anna Seehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14921348961654008115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889645091925744602.post-45703868888520967632008-11-04T19:53:00.000-05:002008-11-04T19:53:00.000-05:00Oh, but she is beautiful.

I can't believe you outed me. <BR/><BR/>Now the pressure is on. <BR/><BR/>And 9 year old Kate? She's an extraordinary blog contributer. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry I didn't have something for you by my deadline!<BR/><BR/>And, and, and... I really do have a a business trip to Chicago. I'm leaving tomorrow. I swear! I'll even send you my plane ticket. And I'll take pictures.
