And, from your website, the lemon-jade earrings I'm wearing look as if you could have made them. I love that the gift from your best friend got you going down this particular route.

Elizabeth, I'm glad that this story came to you at the right time, and Jennifer, you are right - he is so deeply generous. In his most recent letter, Kingsley ended with this: "I'm getting on. More and more people offer me their seats on the subway." Hard to believe that we've been friends now for probably 17 years.
