Blue! It is Dee Buck ... from a long, long time ago. Sweet woman, I have thought about you often. Browsing kind of voyeuristic like (oh the internet!) feels sort of strange but it is nice to read and "hear" your language again. I myself have tried to come up with a list and on a very clear day a very rough draft is created. And then it is gone and I don't know what I desire to do! But writing letters to old friends I do remember. Would you send me your address perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to find you!
