October 8, 2015

In late September, I found out that Kristoff could play the Lute. Once I had that knowledge, I made it my mission to convince him to play for me. After several weeks, he finally broke down and agreed.


It was unbelievable! I couldn't believe my ears. I had expected a nice, amateur sound to come out of Kristoff's instrument. Instead, a beautiful, heartfelt melody flew from his fingers. Simple, but rich in tone.

When he finished, I clapped, then looked him dead in the eyes. "That was fantastic."


"Thank you," Kristoff said seriously.


I opened my mouth, about to say something else when a voice broke into our conversation.

"HEY GUYS!"


It was Olaf.

"Guys, I have to show you this!"

I laughed. "What is it?"

"No," Olaf shouted, "you have to come down here!"

Kristoff and I climbed off of the cabinet and followed the little snowman,


"Look," Olaf whispered, breaking our chain and picking something up off of the ground.


Kristoff and I exchanged a quick glance, then took the paper from him.


"Oh my gosh," I breathed.

"This is you," Kristoff sounded somewhat awestruck.

In our hands was a beautiful portrait of... me.


"Meritre sent it to MyLittleMegara in an email," Olaf explained. "Meritre drew it herself!"


I was stunned speechless. Imagine that somebody enjoyed my blog enough to actually draw a picture of me!

"Well," I said when I finally could, "There's only one way I can think of to really show our thanks." I told the boys my plan, and we got MyLittleMegara to take this picture.


Meritre, thank you so so so so SO MUCH!
