Although my holiday could be classified as a smashing success, my family has faced continued illness in the days since. In the midst of administering medication and being up half the night, the blog has taken a back seat.
In an effort to get it back on track, I thought I’d start with a “quote of the week,” even though it’s Thursday and not Wednesday.
As you might have guessed, I’m still reading “Gone With the Wind.” I’m not much farther along than I was last week, but I am continually surprised when I come across a line that makes me laugh or giggle to myself.
This week’s quote is one of those. It’s from chapter 4 when Scarlett was planning how she would make Ashley “realize” his love for her.
“She lay in the silvery shadows with courage rising and made the plans that a sixteen-year-old makes when life has been so pleasant that defeat is an impossibility and a pretty dress and a clear complexion are weapons to vanquish fate.”
So true …
