Who Was Your Favorite Grown-Up?
When you were a child who was your favorite grown-up? My favorite grown-up was my maternal grandmother. Yesterday, I went to her grave site and recalled two of my favorite memories of her. I have many memories of fun grown-ups, although for some reason she's the one who sticks in my mind the most. My other grandparents were great too, of course, but we lived down the street from her in a new neighborhood branched off from an older street or lane, called Moss Side Lane. The name Moss Side came from the moss that hung from the oak trees that shadowed the street.
With the exception of my parents, this grandmother had the most influence in my life. She taught me to wish upon a star, to garden, curtsy, talk to people, read…

Angels On Earth
Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand.

Motherhood- Courage
Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons
Courage-
Humor-
Words-
Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase
I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...
Beatrix Potter’s Journal, 17 November 1896, from the National Trust collection.
The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover
Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light
She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free
For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well
Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination

Favorite quotes-
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'
F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"
Mark Twain
"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."
Franz Kafka
An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.
- Mark Twain in Eruption
"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Wohohoow!! You ARE a rising blogger! Congrats AGAIN! Will you still remember us little people, when you are all the way up there? ;)
On a more serious note: you DO deserve it. You write very well, and take goad care of your blog at the same time. It's an easy prediction that this combination is surely going to get you Way Up There! Enjoy the flight!
Jos:)
Oh Jos, You literally brought tears to my eyes! I'm trying so hard, sometimes I'm afraid it's too hard!
Plus I haven't a clue what I'm doing. What do you mean remember you? Are you kidding? I couldn't survive without you!
Like today, your comments made my day! You're a great friend, and I'm glad Christy found you! She's got a gift for finding prolific poets, and poets never let you down in friendship.
Thank you for checking on me! :)
Ann
Hey Becky I passed up your comment. Do you mean Judd will not need a nomination? Becky I'm dense, what do you mean? Do I smell a rat?
Write me back, o.k.? Becky who did you nominate? :)
Ann
Thank You Miriam! :)
And thanks for reading!
Ann
I'm not quite sure what you meant by adding me on another list, but I'm not over taxed so go ahead. It doesn't take me but a few minutes to get the code moved from one place to another. :)
Congrats Ann
Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to do the code! Not a single person in my writers friends circle ever said anything about html codes when writing a blog! Anne, at The Tall Poppy was nice enough to add me to a link list and I'm trying to figure out the code. Did you know that I put every single url in the last list! I'm not kidding!
Anyway, maybe you can help me. It's still posted on The Tall Poppy. I'll met you on MyBlogLog.
Thanks Sandee! I'm glad you stopped by-
Ann
