just received a condolence call from a former neighbor of carmel/miss daisy. now, this woman was
half miss daisy's age when they were neighbors. in fact, i'm
almost certain she's just a bit older than MY oldest child, but i digress... the lovely thing that she remembered most about being her neighbor was miss daisy coming home at 2am on a sunday morning from
adaigo jazz club and wondering,"what the hell is wrong with MY life, that my 80something year old neighbor is out partying and i'm at home?" all the MITM could say was thank you for making me smile! these are the stories that are sustaining him. all the fun and lovely memories people are sharing of good times with his momma.
and then, there's all of you.
your kind words, the music, the emails have been shared. you are all part of our life and all part of the memories we have of miss daisy in blogville. yes, my darlings, she knew all about all of you and loved all the funny things you said. she always asked if i was
going to tell my friends about the parties or what was going on here on the plantation.
so promise us one thing, raise a glass this weekend in her honor and we'll raise one with you and
to you all!
i'll be back sooner or later. xoxoxoxox
