@ pendraggin – Thank you for your comment

No I haven’t read that book, but it sounds very interesting. Africa is one of the 3 continents I’ve never been to, the closest I got was that I could see it from the shores of Spain. But the country fascinates me. I will put the book on my list. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Is there anything more essential to the human spirit than freedom….Anna have you read Doris Lessing’s “Shikasta”? It is an amazing story involving the history (fictional) of the area that became Africa. Actually I think she has a memory that taps time.

Dear Tom, it has been exactly those qualities in your poems that I so appreciate. They are so frank and from the heart, taking everyday living and turning it into an art. You seem to have a way of turning everyday simple pleasures and turning them into something special, reminding us all that the greatest pleasures are derived from the little things we do. It is obvious that you draw from a vast well of personal experience, having seen both the best and the worst of things, but walked away from it from it with head held high having made the most of it. Truly an example for others to follow.

Now this is what I write about. Words like these are what makes long happy marriages. You two are not only poets, writers, craft persons, artists, but also, from these sentiments, married, friends and lovers. Beautiful. Never deviate from this path.

Well that’s much nicer, I definitely feel mollified. Though I think you are probably a little biased because you are married to me. I don’t think I’m quite that good and your poetry is definitely better than mine. No contest there. As for photography, Anna has an award of Merit from the New York Institute of Photography. In any case you are the smartest and prettiest girl I ever met and that makes me the luckiest guy alive.

Honey, when all hell is breaking loose, you calmly consider solutions and plot your next course of action. You are very pragmatic. Your artistry and inspirational qualities are not lacking, you have made beautiful things for me from wood and it is because of you that I have any woodworking skills at all. You have written poetry far better than mine and your photographic skills have been incredible from the beginning. But most of all you have the skill of being a husband down to a fine art – loyal, strong, chivalrous, brave, and romantic beyond most girls’ imaginations. Before you came along I had no one to talk to besides my word processor.

Thanks paisley. Yes I am kind of happy that I am starting to write some half-decent poetry again after a few dry years (I blame that on my husband. He’s so down-to-earth!)

Holly – I just Googled “BFF” because I didn’t know what it meant. Now I get it. Where’s that necklace??!!
