I too am from this quiet ‘dry’ village. Reading this brought back many fond memories. I drove around there today on my way to visit Wendy (Wendylyn’s World) and she told be about your blog. You have a great gift with words. “I am from” was a blessing to read. I didn’t know your mom had passed away. She was a neat lady. I remember playing “Flinch” with her and my mother. Keep writing Susie!

I googled “wash pesticides off fruit,” and found your site. I enjoyed reading a few more of your posts besides, and read your “About.” I really like that. And I wanted to say, “God will never give you more than you can handle” is a misquote – in my humble opinion, it is right for you to doubt it. ; ) The quote actually goes, “He will not allow you to be TEMPTED beyond what you can bear.” Years ago, when my son was young, he told me that the Mother Teresa quote, “I know God won’t give me any more than I can handle, I just wish He didn’t trust me so much” was wrong – he said it should go, “I know God WILL give me more than I can handle, I just wish He could trust me more.” And when you think of, “When I am weak He is strong,” it makes a good deal more sense the way my son put it. : ) Well, I just wanted to share this with you, and tell you to keep up the good work!

here it is 4 years later I read this and did not read your blogs till just now. I cried so much as. I read this I just could not belive how much I related to all of this. I thought I was the only one in the world with such intense fond memories of my grandmother coupled with the pain of the loss of both my grandparents and mother. I had three wonderful people who left me all alone on this planet I too can remember the crisp air the curtains blew in from outside, that crisp summer spring time that you must have had the same memories

I too am from this quiet ‘dry’ village with the 2 castles and June walking back and forth in front of my house! What a great place to grow up…so much that I moved back to raise my own 3 girls here. Loved reading your stories and bookmarked your page so I could continue!

I love the basketball box! I was looking for something cool to do for my son for his Valentine box and found your site. He loves football so I thought we could do the same thing except put a field goal up instead. Thanks the help! I have bookmarked your site. Its great to have a mom that thinks outside the box. Thanks again

This is still one of my all time favorite pieces on the Interwebs and any where!

ohhh Susie!
I am adding your site to my favs! Came across it while searching for “best yoga DVDs” and boy am I glad. U wake up and think u will just be searching for yoga dvds, then you’re crying reading some chick’s blog. Where am I from??? I am from the land of early ambivalence to consequence as I skillfully write my full name in the freshly poured concrete outside my elementary school. Thank u for the gift of this site today.
