LUDELPHIA, IN THE FLESH

This, my friends, is the something extra special I was talking about:



Isn't she gorgeous? And what a surprise!! Librarian Jenny Paynter directed me to the table where I would sign books, and there she was. Jenny said it's an old doll made by her grandmother, and after reading the book, she thought, that's Ludelphia. So she added the eye patch.

Do I have to tell you I cried?



And then I smiled. And smiled and smiled and smiled.



Thank you, Jenny! And thank you, sweet sis for capturing everything on film. SO sweet to share this with you (and those sweet nephews and one wild Anna!). xxoo
