Yet another great read! Your words are always so thought provoking and comforting, most of all, I cherish taking the time to myself to sit and read them with my cup of coffee. Just spending time with me and your words! Love it!
You always amaze me in your writing. My middle name is Ann. But always go by Cookie, or pie or cooker or cookrina. Grew up with a family of nicknames, my Mom Bobby or we called her Mom Upstairs, then my grandmother Mom Downstairs, my grandfather Frog, our uncle Sonny. My great grandfather was Shuey or Dutch. Our neighbor was Cootie. Cannot believe the names of our dogs. But love you have the history of your parents. Ready for your next writing. ❤️💕
I love nicknames, I really do. I love PIE! I may have to call you PIE just one time! Thanks for being one of my faithful readers! See you soon, with book in hand!
One of my favorite posts of yours! So much rush thought. We’ll have to meet for coffee soon! Oh—I have a zillion nicknames, too. Ellen Smellin’ Watermelon is still in circulation!
Wow! How far you reach is amazing! I must still myself long enough to look inside -- this writing helps. I, too, am an Ann...Christine Ann. however, I was named after my maternal grandmother, Anna, who unfortunately found no joy in life. my nicknames were Chris, Chrissy, (ugh to both...lol) and, Tine (younger sibs couldn't pronounce "Christine" so...turned out to be Tine! Thanks for the reflection ...grateful for you and all you share! Keep the Morning Finds coming...
It is true. I'm sure it happens for you when you bike...You will always be Christine to me, but I like Tine. It's funny how we develop personas related to our names at certain points in our life. Looking forward to celebrating a big turning point for you soon!

I love that we are having coffee together (in a sense).
Me too!!!

Thank you. Looking forward to seeing all of you. 😉
Beautifully written, this one really touched me. Thanks Annette or Netti or shoes...
Thank you! You dear friend can call me whatever you like!

Oh my goodness. Never could have predicted that one at all! Coffee or a walk is in order! Getting over a bit of a cold right now!
My original post is supposed to say “rich” thought, NOT “rush!” Lol! Hope you didn’t read it as a negative!! :))
Autocorrect--I didn’t notice the change.
Funny, because I read right over it, assuming you meant rich anyhow! Maybe it's because I know you so well....
Always love your introspections Annette, and your language to pull us into Limon and Lewis, you and your family…”The sunspot linoleum of her life”…
Thanks Holly! Love the Limon poem!
