Betsy-ish Thought for the Day
I was just looking over Betsy in Spite of Herself. Although it is hard to choose a favorite, I think this may be one just because I like the message. Both back in high school and today I find myself wanting to change to be a certain way. But, in the end, reality prevails and I end up realizing I'm sort of okay the way I am.
As for "Betsy into Betsye", if you look at artifacts from Maud's high school days, you will see that she also went through a phase where she called herself "Maude" --- I absolutely love it!
Another off-topic BT thought: Julia called Betsy Bettina and, thus, Betsy (supposedly) named her daughter Bettina. Do you think that Kathleen (the real Julia) ever called Maud Merian (the name of Maud's daughter)? I know Merian was supposedly named after Merian C. Cooper, but I like it better the other way...
Have a great weekend everyone!
