“OH SO LONG AGO”

………………….Oh so long ago……I know this was the late 70’s and I was in my 20s, because I have a beard! I was spending a weekend in the country in Pawling NY at a friend’s house. There were a few of us invited for the weekend. We ate, drank and played cards until the wee hours of the morning. I’m wearing a YSL wool battle jacket that I loved……Jeez, I certainly had a full head of hair. It was so thick I used to break the teeth right off of the combs! This beard dates back before I was with Jac. I had one on and off  for a few years……I loved my beard, but when I started to date Jac…off came the beard. She loved my full head of hair and was always brushing it off my face, but Jac wasn’t fond of facial hair. She had very delicate skin and said it scratched….off it came………Gotta make your lady happy!

    You and Jac-so beautiful and talented. I think the most incredible thing is the genuine kindness and respect you show to readers of your blog and fans of your work. Both of you just as beautiful on the inside. That is rare.Thank you for sharing that with us all.
    Both my parents passed in the last year. Your daily story made me feel connected while caring for them or sitting in the hospital (along with a few sweet friends and my DH-also a kind handsome NY boy) and was a daily treat during a sad time. Your daily effort is truly appreciated:).

      Dear sunbluesea…..My posts have saved me in many ways. They are a great distraction, and therapy….and bring back mostly good memories…..though sometimes there can be a little sadness with some too. It will be going on FOUR years this Dec 12th that Jac is gone, but it feels like yesterday! I know it will always feel like yesterday. These posts are as much for me as for all of you. They help me get through the days, and I look forward to all of your comments as they keep me company. I know there are many of you who will know exactly how I feel……If my posts have brought you some comfort, then that brings me comfort too……….God Bless
