You're going to make me cry. :0 Thi...CLARE ANN! You're going to make me cry. :0 This is SUCH a sweet missive, thank you so much for taking the time to write it! I'm so glad that you enjoy the eclectic mix of subjects that I write about. ;-) To some, it may seem an odd pairing, but my inspiration has always been for this to be a "life blog" and these happen to be my interests in life!<br /><br />As for the 28 hour day, well...I just put on a good facade. In fact, I'm just really, really Type A. ;-)<br /><br />Aunt Imelda? We ALL need to look up to her! Indeed, I hope to still be dancing in my 80's! It keeps us young, I really think so. There is a local swing dancing group here that I've seen at various events, and their best dancer is a man who is likely in his 60's. It is abundantly clear that he has many, MANY excellent dancing years ahead!<br /><br />Thank you again, Clare Ann. I treasure your lovely comments!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-41915599805579580422016-03-10T18:54:04.322-05:002016-03-10T18:54:04.322-05:00Tiffany, I really wanted to comment after reading ...Tiffany, I really wanted to comment after reading this. Again to remind you as I don't write often, that I am the lady who does not write often, but I sooooo look forward to reading your blog.<br />I too am a Librarian and a Catholic and I too am on the desk tonight till close at 8.30pm.<br />You have influenced me in so many ways, I bought a kindle because you spoke so highly of yours, think I am naming mine Colette after a group of Sisters that I often write to.<br />I have read some books you have recommended, but I am a slow reader, due to have been working 2 jobs ( though my other job as a clerk has now ended so have more time in my life now, hence I am writing to you today :)<br />I am older than you though, but I think young at heart, my eldest daughter is your age and one of her daughters Theresa, named after The Little Flower has many similar characteristics of your daughter, especially the awaking before the 7 on the clock and then the great debate on what to wear. So then I show her your writing.<br />You are such an inspiration, I want you to know that, and what I love is your beautiful mix of Catholic Faith, your love of dance and craft work.<br />I have often wondered though, if you have a 28 hour day that we don't know of as you do get such a lot done ?<br />My dear Aunt Imelda who I adored was very similar and she was a great inspiration in my life to me, danced till she was in her 80's and would get very excited about what she would make to wear to dances and celebrations and prayed a lot of Novenas too, as she was thankful for her life. She was excellent at sewing & needlework.<br /><br />All for now, people swarming around the desk with questions.<br />Take care, and know how much your blog is appreciated.<br /><br />Clare AnnClare Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687708974124556923noreply@blogger.com
