Katherine,

I love those magical, “coming of wonders” moments.

Sister W, sure, I’m with you, together with typo’s, bad grammar and missing words. It’s a tradition.

Lynn – My pleasure

Sam – Charlotte’s Web, yes, but the others, no.

Krista – You DO win. Motherhood can bring such terrible heartbreak. And every kid deserves a devoted auntie!

sharnek – I’m so sorry. I wish I was magic and could change this. xoxo

annemarie – I think you would love it.

ali – xoxo

Beannie71 – YES!

Sisty – Agree on every point.

dust – oh dust, 40 is a good time to create a whole new life, if you choose to. It’s so good to know you are with me.

Andra – You are one content woman!

Katharine – That makes me happy, thank you!

While sipping an early morning coffee outside a used bookstore window on a grey Thursday morning, I noticed a beautiful spider in her web out of the corner of my eye. I said spontaneously: “Good morning Charlotte.”- and that little miracle carried me through the day.

Sam, I’ve never done any of those things either and I feel just fine.

I’ll be brave and read it. My 40’th birthday is approaching and I still didn’t grow a single deep root, just managed to create a firm routine that mimics it. I’ll read it to re-educate myself and remember fear of abandonment. My relationship with you is a prime example, I never missed a post on this blog, but failed to participate for a long time. Accepting a loos doesn’t make you a looser, but assuming it, does.

I read Charlotte’s Web probably 20 times when I was a kid/adolescent and several more times as an adult, to my kids. Needless to say it had a major impact on me and Eudora Welty is right — it is as near about as perfect as a book can get. It’t sweet, suspenseful, sad and funny, and the characters are so soulfully drawn.

Sam, I will say without hesitation that Pretty Woman, the Sound of Music, and Lord of the Rings are not anywhere near the same league.

Oh, man. Tearing up at work! Must re-read & re-watch. This was one of my favorites as a kid- I think my dislike for eggs derives from this!

The “magnum opus” scene is such a sweet one…

Shit, I’ve never read Charlotte’s Web. I’m sorry! If only you were my mommy back when I needed a mommy most! There were no books in my house. There was nothing. I don’t know how I even discovered reading, but as soon as I did, it felt like I must have invented it. However, by then it was too late for Charlotte’s Web. I began with trashy novels and from there moved straight to Dostoyevsky.
