What a wonderful surprise it was to find your blog.<br /><br />I followed the link from the A to Z challenge and was not prepared for the personable tone of your writing. It has the quality of a conversation with a good friend and you relayed that story with so much warmth and depth I could see it in my mind's eye as I read along. I will certainly be checking out your earlier posts and hope to keep in touch after the madness of April ends.<br /><br />Happy V day!<br />Beverly<br />http://bev-thebevelededge.blogspot.com/Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363138865808629218.post-48138548996067404062013-04-25T18:03:33.360-05:002013-04-25T18:03:33.360-05:00Wow, Rocky!

I agree with the above post: write this down for your family. I sometimes make the mistake thinking a blog does this, but of course it doesn't--who knows what will happen to blogs down the road.
