This is beautiful, Johanna.

As I read this, I’m listening to Steve Martin/Eddie Brickell – “Love Has Come For You”. A certain synchronicity there, I think. Beautiful piece.

I never had that very small school experience. It was pretty much twenty sum odd kid classes all through elementary and high school. Interesting to try to imagine that tighter dynamic through childhood.

It’s funny what scents, toys and favorite foods evoke, how much they ultimately mean to us. I’ve tried telling my kids about them, too. Got the same response. I tried giving them some context such as, “Microwave ovens were new and there were no VCRs,” and they’d boggle. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Thanks for sharing this. It made me smile.

Take care,
JC

When you get a chance, try again. I changed some of the mobile settings.

Ooh! Bugs Bunny. Every time I think of Bugs, I think of the hasenpfeffer lines. That’s what he should have said when you pulled the string: Hasenpfeffer?!

ps for some weird reason the Droid phone still can’t see this, so if responses from me are delayed here, it’s cause I couldnt easily get to the computer.

I had thoughts that my kids might play with some of my treasured toys, but only my little people could endure that much. Beanie baby didn’t have enough beans left to lose even a few more. Raggedy Ann was living up to her raggedy name and I found myself shielding her from losing even one more strand of yarn from her pretty red head. I don’t think they work as decorating items because they’re too shabby, but they’re shabby from love.

I love that you had this toy too! I was beginning to think my sister and I were the only ones.

I don’t remember that doll, but I do remember Chatty Kathy, the one who talked when you pulled her string. I have mine sitting on a ledge in my living room. She’s gone from toy to decorating accessory.

“Johanna Harness simply Rawks Like a B-52 on a Flintstones movie set. She has helped, mentored, educated and enlightened countless throngs of aspiring writers, most of whom will kick your reading ass. And she may be an even better writer than mentor.

You don’t have to bow down, but if you don’t at least read her….well, I just don’t know if you’re saveable”
