Maybe he'll take requests and someone will ask for the goats poem...oh, wait, it's poetry, not music. Oh, Pat, what a treat you have in store.

Should've stopped right there! Oh, yes, Judy, now that you mention it, the goats were the ONLY good thing about that day’s hiking. Should’ve stopped right there!

I loved seeing this photo again and remembering that memorable hiking day. It was a long one wasn't it. And involved rumors of a bull and a buzzard in a field...

I have been so enthralled with a memoir that I've written the author. Kevin Jennings, author of Mama's Boy and Preacher's Son, actually wrote me back. It was very touching. I always get sad when I find out that a favorite author has died. They touch me and their death is like losing a friendship that they didn't know we shared. Our words have power and create relationships. Good reason to keep writing -- about goats, Paris, snow, or cars! Although I don’t have any experience with goats (wait, that doesn’t sound right!)
