more lovely

It is not every day that the author of one of your favorite books offers to call you and sing you a lullaby...but if they do, you should take them up on it. Here's the story. On Wednesday, Amy Krouse Rosenthal (see my related posts here and here) used her Facebook status to offer up a lullaby-by-phone. We messaged back and forth, I gave her my number, and last night at around 10:45 she called me. We chit-chatted briefly, and then she offered me a choice of 2 songs -- "Love is a Song that You Sing in Your Heart" or "Shalom." I chose the former, and settled back for the lullaby (feeling only slightly awkward -- I did offer Amy the chance NOT to sing, but she insisted that a promise is a promise). So Amy sang. And lovely was beckoned.....
