I recall how your eyes lit up when you showed the "key" from the cottage. This is such a special story to read. It truly does awaken the smells of life. I would love to share my grandmother's stories as we planted her beloved pansies. You are so special to me!! Looking forward to reading another story--you have so many!!

I loved the description of yor "not real" grandmothter. I find the older I get, the more detail I remember from the past. I am writng my second book, called Moments and Choices, short snippets of some long enduring memories that have stayed with me.

Thank you for your comments. It is particularly nice to know that my story sparked some of your own memories of family. There will be more to share and perhaps I will even join your ranks as author someday. Laura How very nice to hear from you. Thank you for your comments.
