The Weekend

On Friday I drove several hours listening to this to get this girl



who is now terribly missing this girl!



I had not read Pride and Prejudice before. I had tried but the timing wasn't right, I guess! Anyway, when I first began listening to it, I called a friend and told her that I just didn't get it. I wasn't enjoying it very much.

She advised keeping on and watching the BBC version (which I haven't done yet). The story did finally capture my interest and I wound up quite enjoying it.

Since coming home, Gracen has been playing with her new toy--a Nintendo DSi. I didn't realize that it had recording capabilities until I kept hearing Jordyn's voice--and Jordyn wasn't here!

Gracen and Jordyn had recorded themselves singing and laughing. The one recording that got the most airplay--Jordyn saying "I love you, Gracen Savannah."

She played it again and again. To say that she misses Jordyn would be an understatement, I think.

I'm so glad they have each other.

Oh Dana, Pride and Prejudice is a magical story for me. And I ADORE the BBC version with Colin Firth. I own it and watch it at least twice a year. I really believe you'll fall in love with the story once you've seen the movie. The book is great, but this is one of those rare cases that I think the movie is better! (not the Keira Knightly version)

The BBC version is also my favorite. It's long but totally worth it. I watch it every few months. It's truly wonderful!
