Today I found a wonderful blog written by an 82 year old woman named Helen to her friend of 60 years....my kind of people, obviously, and she has a multitude of fans..... one of whom wrote the following comment. It is so much of an "oh, gawd, I wish I had said that" that I simply must pass it on. I will have to go back and see if I can find the name of the commenter in order to give proper credit. Ah, the name is "Hillbilly" .....don't know whether it is a male or a female, but my hunch says is is a woman......not the kind of thing a man would think of doing , I feel......no explosions, five alarm fires or mass devastation.....just taking care of things effectively and quietly.
Huzzah, Hillbilly, whoever you are.
Here's the quote:
"A little confession, when I was in Kmart the other day I hid all of Glen Becks books behind other books so that they were not on display. Petty I know, but it made me feel better."

Hello dear...Though I have been on the computer very little the past month, I managed to muster up enough to read all the ones I have missed. I enjoy your blogs so much. Your writing is so "real," (if that's the right word) that I feel like I am going with you through your experiences...Some make me feel a bit sad, but throughout the whole thing you always makes me smile..You made it! And look at you now!! I don't think I have read any book that I enjoyed reading as much as your blogs. Love
ReplyDeleteOh, Ida....thank you for the kind words, but even more for reappearing....I am so worried about you...hope you are in a little less pain and discomfort...Love 'ya.
ReplyDeleteI totally do this! I'm sure I'm on some kind of watch list at Barnes & Noble...
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you!
