Kim Takes Full Credit

Kim’s decorations for fall are always straight out of a magazine The rest of us visit her house and exclaim over her decisions. Her parents are decorators, and I believe they help her with this. She claims it is all her own idea, but no one buys it. Because she is not a put together woman in any other area of life. Her clothes do not match, her hair is a mess, and she looks dowdy. Her house is impeccable; perfecto, and it happens while she is at work. Two cars with Michigan plates are parked at her house for a week. Her parents lug in bolts of materials, and bags of autumn goodies. Kim takes full credit, and we let her because we adore her. But we all know better.

When we love someone, we appreciate and support what makes him/her happy....even if we know better. Lovely story with deep wisdom to learn. Blessings.

Hmmm...(laughing) We all know people like that, Caren. Surely she must know you all are on to her, but, apparently, she doesn't care. Her little "thing" brings her much delight.
