Heard Joe today at Benson's; I think Dave introduced me to him back in my ny days; got all choked up. Inside. 'cause my baby's going away to college and the rest are gone already. But. The good Lord came through for me so many times. My Old Coot friends think I have four lives already so I should be a wee bit more careful of the health. Therefore, I dedicate this post to Melissa Rodriguez, Kristin Anderson, Amelia Anderson, Elizabeth Anderson, Kaitlin Faye Petschl, and all those of you that have cheered me up, or put up with me around here. Burnsey would say, as he did when Gram taught it to me in Gaelic: "But flw'rs will drop, when December draws near - - My winter of Life is like that of the year." Thank you a bunch; each and every one of you.
