I don't remember exactly how it goes (my memory is shot--which is really embarrassing--except for old TV/movie triva which seems to stick in my head for years and years...). That said, I keep thinking it had something to do with Piggly-Wiggly (where I used to shop, in fact!). Am I crazy? Well, okay, you might not want to answer that question. I think that's a foregone conclusion. *g*<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I meant to mention the line to you at the time, but I, um, forgot. *rolling eyes* There are days when I do well to remember my own name. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14185471.post-1163115218965037252006-11-09T17:33:00.000-06:002006-11-09T17:33:00.000-06:00Well...

That was my hope! I can't believe you live in Alaska. Is it cold there yet?<BR/><BR/>Email me at jana (at) janadeleon.com with your blog site (I didn't know you had one) and I'll post a link to it. Also, if you give me your mailing address, I'll send you some bookmarks and alligator bottle openers to include with the Christmas gifts - and some for yourself, of course. :)Jana DeLeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351774231244304409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14185471.post-1163077602787686982006-11-09T07:06:00.000-06:002006-11-09T07:06:00.000-06:00Great post!

Writing is supposed to be fun!<BR/><BR/>Guess what? I finally found a copy of 'Rumble on the Bayou!' Good ol' Wal-mart. I knew I could count on them. Up here in Alaska, sometimes getting things in can be unpredictable. In any case, I've read five pages so far. I chuckled from the first sentence and burst out laughing on the line, "It had taken only minutes to trap her prey, but thirty-five years to kill it." I'm going to write a review of it on my blog and give it to all the women in our family for Christmas! And I'm saying that only five pages in. Laughter really is good medicine.Kimber Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.com
