Mine goes back about 20 years but I've never forgotten it. I live in CT and my best friend was living in Oregon at the time. She called me and told me she was getting married in Tennessee that weekend and said I had to get on a plane that Friday to go down and be her matron of honor.

I lived paycheck to paycheck so I decided to take that week's pay and get a cheap flight out and just be behind a month on the bills.

So I called the travel agency who got me a good price. On the way down to buy the ticket, I stopped at my P.O. box. In the mail was a check from an insurance policy that I didn't remember even having.

The amount of the check was the exact amount of the plane ticket -- right to the penny!

About 10 yrs ago, I was looking for a place to buy a orchid plant. There was a sign in a cafe window that told of a place that was having a Valentines day sale on Orchids, cool. The store was very eclectic & catered to tree hugging, herbalist & earth base religions, woo-woo as it's sometimes called by the skeptics. I walked in the door, and before I could find my way to the orchids, I felt very relaxed with a calm flowing threw me. It felt very spiritual, I had found beautiful orchid plants and my spiritual path in herbal healing.
Serendipity is often described in scientific findings, mine was "plant science" so to speak.

Many thanks, Rosalie and Michele! And for those who wonder what they're commenting about....in a fit of confusion, I initially posted Femmes Fatales guest blogger Shirley Damsgaard here. To see the serendipity post, go here: http://femmesfatales.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/01/serendipity.html

(And don't worry, Michele and Rosalie. You ARE entered!)

Dear Ms. Andrews,

I have been reading your series of Meg Langslow, and I am thoughly enjoying them. I do have one question to ask, In Murder with Peacocks, it's noted Rob went out with his bar exam review group to celebrate getting though the bar exams(page 226) . Then in Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon you referenced that Rob past the bar exam on his first try (page 4). However, while reading The Penguin Who Knew Too Much, you stated he had never gotten around to taking his bar exam (page 190). Have I missed something in a book I have yet to read such as Muder with Puffins?

Thanks,
Janice Skrobarcek
