Phyllis,
too funny… I just turned on my computer to send you a personal email, and there was this new comment from you. Well, to be honest, and very sappy, I was rich before writing the blog. (Alas, not in money. :)) But I’m definitely richer now because of the new dear friends I’ve made. So do you like tea?

You are so darn cute. Hey I know — maybe you should consolidate all your blogs, send them to a publisher, and publish a book. I would definitely buy it! It would probably be a best seller and then you could be rich. Although I get the feeling that you are doing all this beautiful writing for love, not for money. But in a way you ARE rich already, because you are so loved and appreciated. Never give up, and we won’t either.

Dear Phyllis,

I was right about this being my lifeboat. Thank you for such kind words. I have this fun thought running through my head. It goes something like this …. one of these days, it would be wonderful if we could all meet somewhere. We would talk into the wee hours, share stories, laughs and tears. We would feel the strength of a community of survivors. And, Phyllis, I wouldn’t expect you to drink any coffee. Deal?

Love,

Jesse

Dear Jesse I am so sad that your relationship with your new friend may not ( or probably will not ) work out. Life is so dang hard. And even though I don’t really know you — you are my friend — and I care if you are feeling any pain or loss. I am sure that all of us who read your blog consider you a friend and almost like a sister. I really don’t like coffee ( I wish I did !) but I do like you enormously. Keep on keeping on. Of course we KNOW that you will never give up. You will just put another log on the fire, dance to some great music, hug those precious kids, and SMILE ( Even if through the tears ). We love you and we care.

Dearest Donna,

It’s too much to expect me to get over him; and get used to you drinking day old coffee, all in the same week. One hurdle at a time. Please.

Raspberry tarts!! Oh I love raspberries! The beautiful color, the roundness, the taste…just the general cuteness of them. I have several wild raspberry bushes on my land, and I just love it when early July comes and I can go out and pick ‘em.

The tart lady may need that recipe to feel special. We all need to feel that way. But since I am a foodie, it grieves me to think of the hundreds of thousands of recipes that will never be made again once their current owner passes. Her name could be on a recipe in a recipe book for all eternity, if only she would share.

Y’all are going on a cruise?? Hot diggety dog! I can’t wait to hear about that!

Thank you for sharing your recipe for coffee.

If I told you that I drink day old coffee that I have refrigerated cuz I didn’t finish the pot the day before, I don’t think you would want to be my friend any longer.
