I really do love the feelings and notions that little picture conjures up. It’s the camaraderie, comfort, and familiarity we want and have and love.
I decided to write as big as I want, in the font I want, in the color I want, since this place is come-as-you-are-in-whatever-you're-wearing!
Tina, thank you for posting so soon! I feel loved!
This was a really hard conclusion to come to, which is something that actually helped make up my mind! I couldn’t decide between the one in red or plaid. I don’t wear plaid, but I’d wear a pink hat. I’d wear a red dress, but maybe not a straw hat. I’ve got a bedonkadonk to match the plaid, but I’m not that tall. My hair’s reddish like the red gal, but not that short. I’m not that adept at being fashionable, so the red shoes with the bluish dress might be me. Since I asked Cheryl to marry me, positionally I could be right next to her. But if we’re talking positionally, being in the center might fit because I’m happiest when we’re all together and getting on so lovely (lovely-ly?)… I am easily influenced and feel I wear other people’s opinions sometimes as if they were my own original thoughts. I want to be accepting of and inviting to as many as possible, and since plaid is not one color, but several, it’s diverse and people can pick and choose a color they might like in it. I like patterns and symmetry, so that fits as well. Plaid is adaptable, casual, and often flannel, so if I was a fabric, I’d be plaid! There ya go!
Tina, that’s a good choice for you, the one in purple. She’s the only one carrying stuff for the whole group, something you’d do. You bake, cook, grow, write, buy, and arrange for us in the sweetest ways. You care so much and so well.
Cheryl, your reasons for being the green one make me laugh. You're logical and analytical and priceless. Isn’t it wonderful to know stuff about yourself and be matter-of-fact and droll about it, and not morose or hangdog?!
In conclusion (and you thought I might not have one!), I’m thrilled to be associated with a picture like that instead of this one that I dread in my head, of what I could very well look like in my old age if there might be no one to look after me.
Loving y’all all the time, XO, ~c.

Ok, I thought for sure you were going to say the one in red especially when it came to you being in the middle, keeping the peace,understanding all sides and getting away with confronting because you are so diplomatic about it.
But if you want the plaid, I'll accept it. I am already starting to see you there, but I"m getting jealous of you from my end. At least in the middle you were an arms length away, now you're on a side.
Thanks for noticing the bag. I thought of that afterward, only because you have pegged me with that reputation.
Already, I'm beating this topic to death even on e-mail. Anyone have anything else to say. Go ahead, I give you permission, because i'm the controller, remember?
Can't figure out a name yet.
I thought about that, too! In the beginning (hey, I like those words!) I saw from R-L: Cheryl, you, me, Glenice, and Rosie. (Cheryl & I talked about this picture a long time ago.) So to NOT have you right next to me seemed not right, but I accepted it since we were all still together. I actually don't want to BE the plaid one--she just seems to fit mo'betta. I actually like the red better. Maybe we should vote on it! =)
I was contemplating the name thing. Things I like, like butterfly wings, organza, glass brick, and words like diaphanous, gossamer, & transluscent. ALL of them sound ridiculous as names & I can't think of any way to merge them into something cute or catchy! Like Grace, it will just have to come to us. I do like "Lavender" for you though... You grow it, like the color & scent, and it sounds gentile & classy. XO ~c.
