Hi, Jaycee!! I haven’t seen you so long, girl, come here and I’ll hug your neck!!!:)

You mentioned a redbird upthread. That’s one of the Fannie Flagg books that I love, “A Redbird Christmas.” I highly recommend it as reading and gift-giving.

I just finished reading Nicholas Evans’s “The Divide.” Wow, that was good, almost as good as “The Loop” and “The Smoke Jumper.” The one I haven’t read by him is “The Horse Whisperer.”

Thank your sweet soul so much for noticing my memory of Greg. You couldn’t meet a more wonderful guy. He was the peer leader in our church Sunday school group, looked out for everyone and was so kind. He went on to earn both psychology and divinity degrees. All he wanted to do was help others. Our mothers were very good friends too. Such a tragedy losing him. The angels will take your prayer up to him, I know. (((Hugs)))

Thank you for telling me about your friend, Greg. He sure sounds like a wonderful guy and had to leave too soon. He would be very happy with your memories of him and of ‘you and I talking about him’. I have lost some close to me in the last few weeks as a matter of fact. They might have been older than your friend.

One was my next door neighbor, Brenda, 61, who found she had cancer in July and died in October. My DIL’s first cousin, only 58, died right after Brenda from breast cancer that she also found out about in July. And I lost a classmate just recently....just died a sudden death. She and I had sat together for our last Lunch Bunch in October and she died about three weeks after that lunch. I attended 3 funerals in 9 days.....it was kinda hard to take. So I do understand
broken hearts.

And I am going to sure look into those Fannie Flagg books. It is nice that you are working in a lot of reading. I always loved to read, but since the computer, I just don’t take the time and I should. So good for the brain I hear! I’ve gotta run a few errands. Talked your ear off~~LOL~~
