Jeni, if you ever wrote a memoir you would have at least one guaranteed buyer! I will never get tired of your character portraits of the wonderful people you grew up around, your evocative writing style, or how much you clearly love being alive!

This is the kindest comment! Thank you, Isabelle! ♥️ I wish everyone could have met Roger. I was remembering yesterday that I’d recorded him talking and I’ll have to look back in my archives to see if I can find that! Hugs and kind healing to you.

You have such a sweet voice, Jeni (both sung and written).

and I wish I’d thought to make more videos of my parents before they passed…but back then I hadn’t learned what I know now, now did I have the nifty technology that accompanies me in my pocket these days…

The candy apple trailer! Those photos are just amazing. I still love me a carnival something fierce. I'm keeping this post open on my computer so I can go back and dig into all the wonderful things you've linked to. And your music, always the best.

Thank you, Charlotte. I went to a carnival recently and I was really surprised by how there were giant speakers playing deafening rock and pop music. I am really sensitive to sound, so I had to leave. I was really crestfallen. But I think there are old-fashioned carnivals over here too with the pump organs and one man bands, so I'd like to seek those out! I wonder if I'd still like cotton candy? I loved it so much when I was a kid.
