Falling Up
“I was really looking forward to it and was all ready to be impressed since I know that: 1) they are very wealthy, and 2) they are very into really good education. And call me shallow, but those two things definitely get my attention.
Its not that I'm unimpressed with Matthews mom. I mean, she's a nice person and all, but she's so totally different from me and my family. Maybe its just her artsy, creative ways, but she's kind of weird too. It's like she enjoys getting noticed—whether it's for he...r strange sense of style (she likes to wear clothing from other countries) or the Bohemian way she decorates her home or the theater crowd she hangs with. She's just very different than what I'm used to.
So when we pulled up to the elder Barclays house, make that mansion, I felt myself being instantly pulled in. You enter through a big metal gate, and their home is a stately white colonial-style house with big round columns and a circular driveway paved with bricks— kind of like a scene from “Gone with the Wind,”MoreLess
