” I love people who make me laugh.  I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh.  It cures a multitudes of ills.

It’s probably the most important thing in a person.”  ~ Audrey Hepburn

About a year ago, I was co-hosting a fundraiser for the Arkansas Symphony when I was stopped by a table of fellow Junior League members to chat.  All of a sudden this sassy lil lady says to me, ” You know,  I had no idea that you were so normal.  That sounds terrible,  but I mean,  you’re actually kinda cool”   It completely took me off guard and I laughed uncontrollably at her candor.  And that is one of the first memories I have of Kerri. We’ve become fast friends ever since.

She is brilliantly witty – which I adore.   She is a talented writer and blogger. She is an aspiring party planner/ events coordinator.  She is politically savvy.  However, we don’t ever talk politics – there are more important things to discuss like…SHOES!    We used to have a standing date “Thursdays at Three”  when we would catch up over cocktails – Me with a bellini-tini and her with her Maker’s Mark.   Numerous pranks were planned.  Work hours got in the way of some of their executions.  Those were good times.

Her blog is undergoing a makeover and she asked me to take a few fun shots to reflect her classic style and vivacious spirit.  Sure enough, laughs and silliness ensued.  It was good for my soul.

However, I am afraid the Lonoke Library will never be the same.
