I love visiting here, it is a feast for the eyes and the soul and I often feel as if I can hear you reading your story aloud( although I have never heard you speak)just to me. You are a beautiful writer and I will be the first in line to buy your book! Thank you for being a bright spot in my day as I am sure that you are to many others.<br /><br />Oh, thank you also for visitng my blog!Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-46254429407399608022011-07-27T14:02:07.055-04:002011-07-27T14:02:07.055-04:00Having grown up in the South, I remember very well...Having grown up in the South, I remember very well when all human life was not valued in an equal way. Some simply felt they were by some divine decree to be better than another who happen to be colored by the Divine in a different holy crayon. <br />The fact that this magnificent lady did indeed value her time, and words and her attention is beyond inspiring. How can any of us waste our energy with such an inspiration? <br />I hope you borrow her song & sing as a part of my life. <br />Hugs to you and the handsome Edward.Donna, The Decorated Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772637069933752736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-74744641424240201602011-07-27T13:46:08.704-04:002011-07-27T13:46:08.704-04:00Just a wonderful post.

We sipped lemonade and watched the neighbors walk by. Frequently they would come on to the porch and visit. I miss those easy days of summer. No one seems to have porches in Los Angeles. I love the image of the lady on the porch with the standing invitation. We need to return to that idea of getting to know our neighbors.Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-82510560701599041612011-07-24T08:31:34.459-04:002011-07-24T08:31:34.459-04:00A day of no second chances.....
