My Dear Friend L. is blogging!

Just thought I'd give ya'll the heads-up on a gal that is new to blogging. L. at Mema's Meanderings - she is a wonderful buddy of mine that I've known for almost 30 years. We had babies together when we were young mothers and worked together. In fact, she and her husband and me and my husband all worked in the same building!  We carpooled to work and got to spend alot of time with each other.  We even had the same cars! We've managed to stay in touch over the years and now she's moving home to Texas!  YEA!  I'm really excited! I've missed her. She's lived in several different places and been able to get to know different parts of the nation. Lucky!

She's been very busy travelling and packing and hasn't blogged much yet, but I'm encouraging her. I'll let her reveal more about herself when she starts blogging so I won't give any personal info away before she's ready.  So do me a favor and stop by to say hi to her and hopefully we'll be hearing much more from L. when she gets settled into her new home!  Thanks abunch! I know I can count on ya'll!

FYI - Check out Margo's (at Margo's Junkin Journal) give away at her blog. She's got some neat stuff to give away there - I personally am holding out for one of her handmade journals! I've seen them and touched them  IN PERSON as well as her garage sale purse and they are so cute, and I will fight you for them.


Thanks also for your sweet comments on my chicken. I feel kinda silly now. My daughter told me I was silly to write a poem for a chicken.  It WAS kind of fun tho. I don't know what made me do it. But it's my blog and I'll write poems if I want to, write poems if I want to, write poems if I want to. You'd write poems, too, if it happened to you!    So there. ;o)

I get so attached to things so easily I'd have cried my eyes out about the chicken. They're pets too. I liked your poem; that's what makes you the nice personable woman that ya are. Our kids just like to burst our balloons! Sorry about your loss.

Chickie,
I just found out last night that all my kids think I'm a flake. Guess that goes for you, too, so I'll be your flake-friend and support you in your poetry contributions to the world. I personally was quite touched by it, and I'm proud of you, and I think it should be professionally published somewhere.
LOC/giblet/flake - I'm a collection of nicknames!

Apparently we mothers are all flakes. According to my children I am very weird. I too get attached to my animals. They are the only ones who never talk back, or roll their eyes up when I tell them something.
Your poem was very touching.
You are a kind soul.

Yeah, well, what does your daughter think of the gal who cried over the chicken? Hahahahaha...and, YES, I did so, too. Just a little bitty tear...nothing to worry about, right?! Just wait until your daughter is our age and see what she does that's a little nuts. Noooo, I am not calling you nuts. I am talking about myself. Only. Just me. That's it, I'm outta here.

Oh, when your friend fires up her blog for real...give us the link, okay?

Hi Vikie,

Sounds like you and L. are pretty good friend - I love that! True friends are hard to find. I will sure give her blog a look-see.

Thanks for the nice comment today on my blog. You have a wonderful day.

Blessings, Barb

Dolores said...

Hi Vickie....
I just popped over to your friend's blog, and I'll be checking back with her.

I loved your poem and I felt sad for the little chicken.... I'm nuts over animals....... all animals except for snakes, frogs and mice.
Hugs,
Dolores

That's right, it IS your blog and you can write all the poems you like. Your sweet daughter probably really thinks you're fun and finds the poem touching.

Happy blogging to your friend, I'll check out her blog.

Maeve said...

I liked your chicken poem.

But I come from a family prone to doing "weird" things like that, LOL! So I'm probably biased. :)

Vickie said...

Hello Maeve, nice to meet you! I went to your blog, but couldn't comment - you need to post something! Guess you're new. Well anyway, thanks for your sweet comment. And I, too, am weird about things - specially about animals! Have a wonderful day!

Tara said...

I love the poem! My kids think I am weird too, but what do they know! You can write me a poem anytime you want!
Hugs,
Tara
