Thank you, dear one. I am always thinking of you. Been playing my Collings a lot lately. I just have such a connection with that sound as you knew I would. I love you and I miss you, too. Hugs xo
This is excellent, Jeni. As is the song. I bought a copy of Fair And Tender Ladies a couple of years back and this is also a handy reminder for me to finally read it.
Thank you, Tom, your note means so much since I’m such a fan of your work! I hope you and that sheep are enjoying Mexico and taking it one day at a time.
Aww! The nostalgia this invokes, Jeni! I can’t tell you how many hours I spent with my pop’s mother “Izzy” and my Aunt Dot, or my mom’s mother Mammaw watching “Search for Tomorrow,” “The Guiding Light,” and “Days of Our Lives” - like sand through an hourglass.😏I can’t help but think we were all so lucky to have such a childhood. It shines brighter than ever these days. Thank you for the reminders!
I LOVE that you watched the soaps with your relatives, too! Oh. I remember the short-lived Santa Barbara and how much I loved Robin Wright. I wanted to have hair just as straight and shiny as her's was. But mine was wavy and wispy! We certainly were very lucky. Love and hugs to you! It's like we're cousins!
HI Ralph, I have read your first chapter. Thank you for being in touch. Yes, my cousin Shad, to whom this letter was dedicated, was raised largely by women and his reaction to this song was strong. I wish I could have talked more with him, but he died very young. I wish you the best as you work on your book and as you reflect on your childhood.
Jeni, I just got around to reading this post, and I read it out loud to Paul. Miss you, sweet Jeni. You really are a brilliant story teller. x

I've loved Picnic in the Sky for quite some time, now-- time flies!
Yes, I can hardly believe it’s been 10 years! Wow. Hugs to you, dear friend.
