Vee, I don't know one other person who can write about someone mowing the lawn and bringing in your groceries and make it as interesting as you do. You are blessed with a talent for sharing the ordinary with flair. As for the 5 & 10; I was walking the aisles as you related the wonders of that store. There is nothing comparable in today's shopping. At Christmas time my father would take me there to buy a gift for my mother. He would say, "Mother could use a new paring knife." I would be so pleased to offer my meager savings for such a super gift. Oh those memories! Barbara

Dear Barbara, You have no idea how you pleased me with your comment about my writing down my simple day yesterday. Because of such praise and encouragement in the past, I continue to feel the need to write down more of my memories and even to post silly stories just for the fun of it. Thanks. vee ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mollbar@aol.com> To: <housman@adelphia.net>; <NYNIAGAR-FOLKS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 12:22 PM Subject: Re: [FOLKS] My "exciting" day today > Vee, > I don't know one other person who can write about someone mowing the lawn > and > bringing in your groceries and make it as interesting as you do.
