So now we want to know who this mysterious woman with the dark ringlets is. We've already got a zebra in our midst, and your change of clothes is, no doubt, leopard. So does Miss Ringlet sport a nice jaguar-skinned overcoat? The animal kingdom ala New York style.
Your personality shines through here, Allen, and the writing is flawless.
Knowing everything currently going on in your real life, I'm constantly amazed at how many balls you have in the air on any given day.
Until the next animal is introduced . . .

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hah!
Good morning, Rachelle!
"Let the wild rumpus start," indeed - especially if you are wearing Jimmy Choos' shoes, and I am delivering the "Welcome" address at the FanStory Convention. (Having spent all day yesterday recording Chapters 6 - 15 of Charlotte's Web, those poor convention goers would more than likely hear my address in the voices of Charlotte, Wilbur, Templeton, and the vast array of characters that seem to have taken over my life!)
I chuckled at your "To Do" list. I also make them - in my mind = never write anything down. I force myself to remember, and I keep telling myself it's my gameplan to avoid losing my memory. But the truth is, my purses are usually so crammed full of receipts that I couldn't find a list if I wanted to do so!
Tova is certainly described as a character-extraordinaire!
Eagerly anticipating how all fares with Rebekah!
Much enjoyed and written with a commanding flare and presence.
Thank you for sharing!
fondly,
diane

I imagined your recordings were what kept you from your usual Fs contributions! It sounds like you're loving the project!
Thank you for the wonderful review! Xo

If given the choice between a Mennonite gal in muslin, and a NYC dame in Jimmy Choos, I would find myself in rural Pa., Ohio or Virginia quicker than a hare escaping a fox. the ? is will our girl be grateful when she arrives homes???

This is another excellent chapter, Rachelle. I love the idea of an international FanStory convention, that would be a great idea. I really enjoyed reading this piece, and I found it really engaging.

Hooray for Tova who comes to the rescue! And it's such a nice contrast for you to remember the "best husband in the world" while in the background some serious back and forth is going on between Ezra and Helene.
Great humor and rejoicing here!

Comment from Wendy G
Your personality shines through here - busily writing to do lists, enthusiastically preparing for Rebekah's future, wanting to be all dolled up even before you escape from Amish country .... It's a super chapter as I can clearly imagine everything. So very well written!

Comment from Samantha Wymer
It's always fun to read Detour and well worth the wait to read. I can't believe Rachelle is always getting into to something. I believe she's magnet for trouble. She's also a very strong woman. She seems like she goes with the flow. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Comment from LJbutterfly
More! More! I was ready for more story. Just when things are about to happen, you tease us. I enjoyed your To Do List and the funny saying about fish and visitors. I hadn't heard that one before.
I'm so glad you have your car, high heels, and clothes. I look forward to seeing what Rebekah does, and reading about your getting back on the road. Yaaaay!

A fun read! I loved the feeling of rollicking along as I read your energetic write. Another great chapter in your ongoing story... now, for a quick question. There wasn't really a FS convention in NJ was there? Haha... hugs!
