On my last entry, I was surprised to find a stranger commenting on my blog. I always like to hear from people telling me how they used Google to drop in on my random stories, and this is quite an interesting one.
Hi Donna! I am a certified Genealogist. My name is Paula Smith and I live in Franklin, NC. I am working on a family tree of which you are a part, and I was led to your Facebook page which helps me find information and clues on trees I am working on. I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed your 1979 song so much I shared it to my own friends on Facebook. I am your same age and can relate to a lot of your elocutions. Yesterday I had the privilege of reading about the Depression era which was written by Lola. I learned so very much about how they managed to work so hard with so little. You have a very talented family!
The several entries that share my mother's story (she is the Lola this lady speaks of) are some of the most popular stories I have shared here, and it's all in her own words. If she only knew how many people have read it, she'd be proud and amazed.
I looked at the 1979 entry she spoke of; Cliff and I had a big laugh about a song I wrote and made a video of at the start of the Covid disaster in which anything could go wrong, and did. I'm surprised I even put it on the blog to be seen, and then left it there, but there it is. Feel free to laugh at it with me. It's right HERE.
WHEEEEEEEEE!!!! Donna, I've already told you but I'll say it again.... I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR MUSIC!! I love it when you play guitar & sing. I wish I had a CD of your music cos I'd play it all day. My chores would get done lickety split cos I'd be dancing around to your tunes as I did them! Thank you for posting the link to that *wonderful* song you wrote & performed. And that message you received from Paula Smith....how FUN!! And interesting! What a treat, indeed. Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the surprises when people come searching.
DeleteThat is a fascinating comment. I always wonder how people find me too and am amazed when they stay since much of what I write is drivel. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, really. People from all different places.
DeleteI listened to the song again. I loved it still. The story about your mother is a wonderful one. I read it all. Patsy told me about it. I read all you post. I hope you keep on telling us about what you call your boring life. If you hush, I will miss you. I miss Margie Miller. I wonder about her a lot. One day she just went silent. Sister Helen used to live in her town.she called the pharmacy there and a kind person said Margie was still there. One day she told about the weather and how badly she slept and then nothing. Donna if you decide to hush.at least give us a warning before please!

DeleteI think you have the perfect voice for that song!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
