Such sweet words, Beverly, thank you! I read Eudora Welty some time ago and Georgia O'Keefe is one of my personal favorite artists, so your words are truly treasures. But sadly no, I'm not related to a single famous person. If you enjoy reading about my part of the country and my escapades there, you can find a few more listed somewhere, probably easy to find on my home page. One about the Mayapple plant comes to mind. I think you would like it.
Thanks for reading and especially for letting me know. Isn't ATP a fine place to be, a place where we can freely write about our childhoods and even get to share those stories with people like you? Love it!
So great to hear from you! Thanks again!
